Palm trees are basically nests ready to go. They are like the naturally occurring version of an IKEA nest. Animals just arrive and it's ready to assemble at low cost.

Nice tight dark hidey places mixed with plenty of nesting material.
And once populated, plenty of food

Killed it.
I guess the “ wood” is actually kinda cool lookin
Gonna save the bare lower trunks.
These fibers are the problem once dry

That’s the wrong link but that guy is cool so I’ll leave it, here’s the right one:

That is because they rake their forests!
Just make sure you clean your saws as soon as possible after cutting palms. The sap will corrode the alloy anywhere it touches it if you leave it too long, and, your chain will be so clean it will rust. Get oil on it again asap.

Cory, the dogs brought this one home from across the street. Lilly posed it up on a shed roof to dry.

You could turn that into a work of art in so many different ways. I hope the dogs get some extra scraps tonight!

Basically her idea since she is very artistic.
Dogs (4) have been stripping this carcass for quite a few days.

You've raised a fine daughter. Most girls would go, "ewwww, I'm not touching that!"

Yeah I have an old 266 I got from a boneyard that has holes clear thru. You should see the chain sharpening too! 😆

A couple of big pin oaks in absolutely dumb locations. Wish I would’ve gotten the before pics. We had six loads of chips in the last two days and three grapple truck loads of wood.

That's beautiful. Well done!

I know you know exactly what you're about, Rich...but in that second picture, it feels like that sling setting is a little hinky to my eyes. No slippage possible? I ask to learn.
That first pick was in a really tight place...dumb location, for sure!

@Burnham. I agree that it looks bad B. The sling that choked to the left should have been “dressed” better. Sling rating in that configuration was more than the load for each one and the load was balanced on both. I also pretensioned before the cut to well over the weight so I saw it as “ok” for that pick. I did back the tension of to about 80 percent of the estimated weight after “setting” the slings.

Brought in a nice Teupen spider lift to work on a hazard tree job. Really nice machine with 23m height and approximately 12m outreach I think- the guy who owns it is one of the best operators I have ever seen.

Wow! incredible machinery! Never seen a chipper or lift with tracks before!
