My uncle and I ground 4 stumps saturday. They were 5-6' white pine stumps from 4 huge removals I did last year. Took a few hours and made quite a mess.

Awesome work Jay, truly stunning.
My day was REMOVING (thought this would get some of you excited
) a liquidambar in relatively small space.

Thanks, guys. No, John, I take the seat frames to a guy in the big town to upholster. I think it's a cool trade, though. Not much expense required in equipment, just need to have the skills. To a great extent the skills aren't so necessary now with the foams that are available. Stll, traditional upholstery is deep, using horse hair and knowing how to shape it, along with the many variations of work. I think it's a good trade if you are in an area where the work will come.

Hey Jake, you made a mess
The RC 3000 should be nice to rope with

Best looking sweetgum I have seen in awhile...in pieces and on the ground where they belong.

Sure did, I had to make sure I fiddled around with my rope as much as possible so my groundy could finish before I got down

THE CALM ONE!!!!
That looks like a heck of a mess to have piled on someone if they couldn't keep up? In that scenario it wouldn't really be that funny to be doinking around with a rope so they could 'catch up'.
My apologies if that's not what you meant.

It was just a joke squisher
The mess looks a lot worse than it actually was. Probably the last 5 or 6 stems that I lowered last that we cleared in 15 mins before we felled the stem.
I respect my groundy far too much to do do that

You want to see a mess......Camera cable wasn't connecting to my laptop for the last few days, finally can post pics of that lightening struck cottonwood.
Only had a groundie for the 1 st day just to clean out the canopy as the 1st pic shows, but after that I was all on my own. Toughest one tree job to date for me, this thing was almost way too awkward climbing only by myself, got her done though.
Had to footlock on double rope several times up to 50 ft to get the 24" diameter lateral stems down safely, laid one big stem on the ground with a figure 8 and port a wrap with a rope in each hand at the same time.
Last pic from yesterday is what I like doing best....smaller quick job trees for good profit.

Gary, I pushed my limits on that job.....I felt like going on a 3 day bender after all that
Every part of that tree was damaged by the lightening strike from 5 years ago. The neighbors were saying it was struck a few times before that.

Far out man, that takes HUGE cojonas to do that on ur own.
Respect.

Thanks Jake for the thumbs up.
I have cut a lot of timber in my life time as a logger, not mostly big trees but enough to have a 2nd sense to see what will happen before it happens.
Later in life when I got into arborist work the first thing I did was take lots of courses on climbing, technical tree removal with rigging and felling, ArborMaster Training and ArborCanada were a blessing for me.... learned a ton with still so much more to learn................money well spent with a lot of excitement and fun.

Good work Willard!
Worked solo today. House on edge of forest. 65' maple x 14" bigleaf maple, split into two non life support leads at 40', BMS belay spool, one lead at a time. Lowered out and diced top into arbor trolley with rest of tree. Downhill roll to the burn pile staging area for HO. Back for the second top, set throw line in adjacent fir for a 15' canopy raise and another AT load. A tricky cascara bundle leaning out all spindly. Nice landscaping. HOs were worried , but left them satisfied.
