Did over 4400 today, didn't leave the house til noon, saved one client over 2K.. no one else wanted to touch the tree... dead too long.... broke two tops out with high pull lines and the brute force of a skid steer, then one cut.. notch and drop and she was on the ground, minimal clean up. That was 2K. was trying to take video, but missed the money shot... took a couple hours cause we had to drop and chip two medium trees for access....
then two dry oaks for the neighbor...
Leaned this one out 15-20 degrees with a narrow downward facing humboldt ( thinking it should be called a stangle humboldt), then rolled the dead top off an adjacent oak with a vertical snap cut... And used the bucket for a little deadwood on a white oak by the house and mostly bombing ot the top of another tall (90'ish) skinny dry oak...
That was another 2K..
then ground a $425 stump for a little icing on the cake... BUT, God will humble the proud, so I managed to take out a lamp post with the stump grinder for not paying attention.... Hopefully get replace it tomorrow
