Well, pictures loaded, I'll have to work out the spacing later.
Property line trees that grew up, then out. two 5 leader maple removals. 1 little doug-fir. Erik has pics from ground on his phone.
Neighbor had glass roof porch under plywood, end sheet is faded red, under saw chips and lichen, covered one skylight,too. 10-12' wide landing zone at the ground, tighter at eaves, a little.
cinched TIP with long tail and biner to be able to snag with pole hook to retrieve from below, easily, or if desired, just attach the tail or rope or rigging line. Yes, Hitchhiker! Wished for a Sidewinder. Swinging long limbs to the dropzone while fighting them snagging my flipline was a bear. I didn't carry my rope either, for some reason (oh, my harness is getting too big), which also liked to snag twigs.View attachment 50929View attachment 50930

Pics 5,6, and 7 are segments of one lead that we lowered whole by tip (BMS Belay Spool, without doubling the load with a block) and butt tying NC with a porty)View attachment 50933View attachment 50934View attachment 50935
Felled a dying tree, walked up to limb it, and a bat flopped out, and crawled onto my foot. After few minutes, seemed he was trying to hang to drop into flight, so I gave him a light hackey sack flick (not kick), and he was up and away in flightView attachment 50936

Don't know what happened with pics. Maybe it will fix itself.

Devon, I know Dave aka pelorus, and hoping to finally meet a few more of you guys in Charlotte next week! I like using cranes as much as I can, this one I used yesterday is a good size for city jobs. For rural ones I use his 50 ton or 60. Used his big 80 tn in the summer for storm work only because his other 5 cranes were out, talk about a heavy lifter! He only charged me for a 60 tn rate which was nice also! I know how fast I can take down trees and I always calculate the lifts well before the crane gets there also and my guys know it's go time from the time I make the cut and they get it on the ground! Process fast, give me the ball back ASAP! Ever since buying the mini skid in July it's made jobs go so much faster and you have more energy to do other things then Drag around piles of brush or logs!

Looks like that Hackberry had some good rigging points Joel
Cypress are a PITA sometimes. Heavy too.
