Speedline out the fronds and catch a few chunks. Easy peezy lemon squeezy. Or are you going for the flop?

I guess I won’t know til I get up in the bucket. Hope to flop. I was thinking to use the tops as sails. Maybe take the back side fronds off first.

Then chunk as necessary.

To make a chunk jump off the stump, I think kind of closed face (how deep?), thin hinge(gut it?), shove it hard to get some momentum?

These are next, in a couple weeks after they redo the lines. The one will have to be pulled towards my truck, the other two can go with the lean.

Do a horizontal cut from the side you want it to go to.
Cut untill the cut starts closing on the bar.
Turn that into a Humbold, then fell it from behind, making sure your felling cut is level with the face.
That way gravity will make it go over.

Make sense?
If not I'll try to explain it differently.

Variation is the spice of life!
Saturday we did that shitty hedge job.
Then I got a call; a harvester needed help with some big Grand fir.
So today we strapped on the caulk boots and went logging in the fine spring weather.
Drove home early.
Happy and smelling strongly of Grand fir sap.

Grand fir: so sticky and so heavy. I've only taken down one and it was memorable

So…the customer is always right, right? “We don’t care about that car or the concrete, just cut it”. Ok…💣 (The car is kind of banged up and doesn’t run…) I just didn’t want to hit the almost finished brand new roof.

Couldn’t reach the top and the wind was blowing the fronds all over.

1hr.

*50’ up with the bucket and the trees blowing around is…interesting. My sphincter got a workout. Y’all that climb those are cra-, uh, brave.

Tell ya what, lifts scare me more than climbing as long as the wood's healthy. I trust my gear. I have a harder time trusting numerous moving parts on an impossibly small base bouncing all over the place D^:

Fair point .

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Indeed

I’m fine in the lift as long as I’m “in” a tree. With the lift and the tree waving around differently and just hanging in space it’s disorienting and unnerving.

We had a welding job recently where the guys had to go 136’ up. Went through three until we got two that could stick it out, and even they were scared.

That lift is an old piece of junk too. If I disappear off the forum it probably killed me.

You have no problem finding customers who will do their own clean up!

Man basket on a crane or simply climbing out to it for the weld?

Bodean, those Royal Palm seed pods are wicked heavy, eh?

Bottom of a water tower tank. Man lift. Thread the needle getting up through the legs and supports.

Spring in CT. Quite a nice day and backyard.

All built buy the lowest bidder as well.
I’ve grown to be comfortable in a lift. I’d still rather climb in the wind though. Don’t like moving separately from the tree.
