Wow

Good sized willow too.

Dan Rajan, that's a lot of tree. Crane time I hope

Buddy....biggest willow I have seen. Good picture.

Rajan, that qualifies as a monster of a job. Could you do that without a crane? Massive wood.

Yes crane time. I am not so sure I would want to do this job without a crane. LOTS OF WOOD!

I'd pass if I couldn't use a crane on that sumbeach!

 

[flushcut]

Amen!

MasterBlaster, you're killing me with all your old-school pics. You're "the shit" brother!

I doubt I would pass it up if it did not have crane access. Price it to afford a grcs and hire a photographer to take epic rigging pictures

I agree with Stephen, but I would get a Hobbs device instead. Me and the fella's have broken 2 GRCS devices ( fragile, with some serious design flaws). We have been running 2 Hobbs devices forever (one going strong after 20+ years) and they have taken anything we threw at them. Ken builds a beautiful, simple, and overbuilt device! Highly recommended.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Have a HOBBS as well. But a GRCS in my stable would be nice

They each have their forces.

 

[Sgriff]

Absolutely,grcs is almost a hobbs device,but it's also so much more than a wanna be hobbs...

 

[Raj]

Send the broken ones my way!

 

[rico11764]

Yea, the GRCS does have some great features. We throw some pretty heavy wood at our lowering devices from time to time, and the Hobbs seems to take it in stride. Its has been awhile since using a GRCS, so maybe they sorted out some of the issues we had with them. Just sharing my personal experience with the 2 devices.

I own a GRCS and have access to a HOBBS. They are two different animals tho ones a sedge hammer the other is a framing hammer with a speed square.

That is one hell of a juniper, Erico . Never seen anything close hereabouts.

 

[Bodean]

Great pics!

It was nice to jump off the couch and do this tree in barter for my equipment storage for 2 weeks...

Climbed up and free cut the back weight.
Pulled with the Vanimal....

Petaluma Ranch style and the classic homeowner looking at the stump happy picture.

Ya frikkn stunning scenery there Erik

 

[Sgriff]

Nice work Deva👍 Sounds like both parties are happy,struck a good deal!

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Yup. I am soft in faster craning/raising ability. HOBBS is nice, but a GRCS is more efficient in a lot of cases.

Vanimal!

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Erik, when I am lowering logs and doing gin pole work, I would still gravitate to the HOBBS unless the pole was requiring more lift.

 

[Limbrat]

That HO is saying "that's about the finest looking hinge I've ever seen young man". Cool pics Deva!

Your post makes me FLIP!

Nobody like a show-off!

Yep. The tree has some serious soul. Whenever I'm in the area I go commune with it. There a Sugar Pine up in Big Trees that has the same kinda vibe. I got a few old growth Reds on my parcel I go sit with when I feel like I'm about to do something stupid. Sit back and get some perspective. I guess you could say I'm a tree-killing tree-hugger?

Hey, I slipped...
