Storm came thru, big tree, big suspended mess!

Trying's the best way to know for sure. Now you have a data point for future problems.

What is that on the end of the “crane”? Looks like a platform?

looks like a telehandler (cherry picker) with a set of forks to me...

Yes, it’s a 50’ 10k lift with stabilizers/outriggers. We were mostly rigging to it vs. using the forks. Kept the pieces pretty small, one 4-6” limb at a time. It was invaluable, straight from the tree to the truck, although like I think I said before, I think it would have been faster and safer to just reduce and then pull the whole thing over away from the house. Dropping it today. More pics and stuff later…

Finished getting the one off the roof today. 3 evenings.

Dropped this little mesquite and firewooded it. I was happy with how much I was able to direct it to the side vs. the lean.
