He probably saw God doing that monster.

Used a lift?

Yes, a wheeled one so he could move along the hedge from the basket.

Some of yesterdays storm work
More today but nothing crazy.
How come every day when we shut down to eat lunch, every person in the neighborhood decides that the time to mow their lawn.🤬 A few moments of peace and quiet is all I want

 

[cory]

Nice.

Crane?

 

[flushcut]

I usually hear other chainsaws fire up. It’s like the saws howl to one another like a pack of wolves. Lol One saw sends out a call and others respond, Freud might have a field day with that.

 

[treebilly]

Nice.

Crane?

The first two pics yes. The second two no.
Crane work tomorrow morning though. Big larch with a good vertical crack running up about twenty feet from the base.

4200# top to start the day. Was good for 8000#. Lay down sucks

 

[flushcut]

“Lay down sucks” Is that really ‘your’ problem? I mean comfy chair, out of the elements, you probably have heat/AC, maybe even a cooler near by with snacks, and you are on your phone. On your phone! Git off of your phone diesels burning!

Last pick at 4200#’s. I took the pic just as I was checking your post @flushcut

Yes, that hedge was a bit tall for that though.

This helicopter saw should work better

 

[flushcut]

Hedges are evil and that thing OMG! Straight to rotator cuff surgery.

I'm no forester but that looks like some nice spacing on those trees by the shovel.

How old are those trees generally

 

[BIGTWIG]

@cory
They’re around 120 years old.
LPP is hard to space out well when it has never been managed. Both for aesthetics and sustainability. Overgrowth equals thin crowns and small root structures are a good recipe for blow down with over spacing.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Hard balance. Do you do wind firming as part of the program?. Since they obviously lose some wind shading

 

[BIGTWIG]

We have not done any wind firming.

 

[cory]

At 120 y o with that diameter, the studs and house logs produced must be rather high quality.

 

[BIGTWIG]

They are, sir.
How many would you like to buy?

 

[cory]

 

[Cobleskill]

It depends on how much they cost!
