Brutal work Fi and Andrei!


Ive been having flashbacks to the Browntail moth nest clipping we were doing a few years ago. Trying to figure the math on force needed to hold a 16 foot pole with a clip head horizontal from the butt end. Just agony at the end of The day!

Out of my capability on the math, but it's crazy how fatiguing using reaching tools is!

If any engineer type wants to help with that problem I'm all ears.

I am beginning to think that climbing is overrated- first day of a 2 day ash removal job. Big jecko crane and a a decent sized grapple saw sure makes life easier.

Nice, but it's just a dream for me, like in an other life. Maybe.
On the other hand, I'd like to know more about the small loader.

The loader is my old multione- punches well above it’s size if your smart with it

Nice equipment.

There was a guy here once, he went to Arbtalk. Don't know if he's still there but a lot liked it. Home - https://www.easyliftharness.com/

He had a few videos.

Easy Lift Harness thread.

I bought an ELH a few months ago and it is, by a country mile, the 3rd smartest investment I have ever made. I wish I'd bought one years ago and since buying it I've found that it is actually better and more useful than I expected it to be. This video is not mine but is an excellent...

A counterbalance behind you can help, but the extra pole will often be cumbersome.

Can you get any support from an overhead rope for the tool?

Only poplars.

The tool suspension rope is designed for tool suspension)

Used my bought-used log arch for the first time. Been 2-3 years of having it.
The previous owners had a larger one for sale. I should contact them.

A cedar log for a friend's fence boards, and two madronas logs to be slabbed... dropped at neighbors mill.
$0.45 board-foot for milling service.






Had 2 hours at the end of the day.

Worked from the ground rather than climbing. The springboard allowed me to dump the first, shorter tree against the lean, short of the landscaping plants.

The second tree was taller, also pulled against the lean.

Backed right up to load up.

One or two grapple grabs to empty the trailer this morning.



One driver, me, and this job is in town, and a very small job, so i hauled rather than chipped.


The facecuts all held the tops. I cut the larger top back all the way until it was hanging the short remainder of the trunk wood from the hinge.



One more slightly larger hemlock to go today.

Surprise

45¢/bdft is pretty cheap for milling, isn't it Sean?

 

[Mesquite]

First time i have touched this drive way and just got all the dead out and anything that could scratch for starters. Filled the bed of my truck with dead, jump crunch compaction. HeHe

Which model polesaw is that?

 

[SeanKroll]

Looks like the KombiSystem that I use. Carbon fiber extensions for it! You can officially use one, not 3.

 

[BeerGeek]

The shape of the powerhead and the orange on it and near the bar make me think slightly older Stihl, most likely.

Idk. Curious what others pay, which was big was part of my purpose of stating it.

Looks about like working in the Mission SF.

Bigtwig is that for Fuel Reduction?
