Wow, that's a nice Oak Scott. I wonder how many chords you could squeeze out of a pig like that?

Nah Jed. Pic doesn't show it to well but the right side is even while the left is about three inches high and over cut. It went were it was supposed to. We did stump forensics and told the green horn what could've happened if this would've been a whole tree instead of a spar or weighted differently.

I love doin' that.
The new guys generally just have this glazed over look in their eyes, though... like they don't have a clue what you're talking about, but at least have the decency to pretend that they care.

Nice man. Not many would climb when a bucket could be used but slow the job.Working with Bixler, im SRTing a fat trunk Incense Cedar to get off back weight to fell and setting pull rope 3/4 ways up
it didnt touch roof
HO wanted Magnolia topped, might as well get it now
Bixler dropping it...right on the money!
missed apple tree to left and right!

Cheers guys
Used the bucket for some of it... but it was just quicker to climb and chip for lack of space. Got another one today, but not as big I dont think.

Wow Jay another world completely. Beautiful and everything is strange to me. Is that crane road legal?? Looks neat, looks like short boom sections but lots of them, keeps it short for tight roads I guess.
I have an old mini excavator but never really considered putting a grapple on it and there you have 2 on a job without a chipper to be seen

Paul, no problem with the crane on the roads, all legal and everything. An older model, but they have been emphasising compactness for quite a number of years. Roads and access can often be narrow. A ten ton model there. Courteously the vegetable plot owner gave use of his property for the sit, I'm not sure if one of the graves was that particular family. This particular crew gravitated up from first only having a mini with a grapple to now two larger with grapples. A good combination that covers the log and brush moving and loading scenarios at sights. No chippers on job sites here, most rare for them to be used. Grapples are indispensable, moving brush in stages is often a big part of the job. A dump yard might have a chipper, but i only know of one tree outfit that owns one, predominantly for use in the woods. Noise restrictions or for some other reason their use just haven't evolved here, I'm not sure. I like using the larger excavator, lots of power and large jaws and sensitive controls. The rotator one is sure sweet for loading logs.
Top didn't flip, Jed, you must mean spin around. They can spin a lot when getting moved about, the balance and catching the air I guess. Normally it's a gentle change of position, not jumping around right off the cut, or maybe a little twist. Being able to spin is often a convenience when setting them on the ground nicely or to avoid obstacles. In tight areas limbs protruding against the boom can really slow things up when wanting to bring a tree around. A crane op can show his worth in manipulating the pick. Some guys really have a knack. Often find that spider legs helps to stabilise uncertain balanced loads.

O.k. sweet. I've done, like seven crane removals.

Thanks, Ben. Is that a 262xp that Bixler is using to fall that tree in your latest pics? If so, haven't seen many of those around for awhile. I have one that always seemed to run hot, and maybe it will again after some new gaskets come into town.
