Pre soaking the stump area is key

one day i removed a pine that was damaged by a fire and than a day of deadwooding nice trees by a lake.

 

[Maximalist]

Today I cut down several dead trees. This larch was unique.

Crazy

Why did it grow that way?

 

[Maximalist]

If a tree grows at a very steep angle, the trunk shape is not perfectly round.) Here is a typical example... P.S. It is very convenient to count annual rings.)

 

[cory]

I would say tension and compression wood

 

[Maximalist]

Today I cut down an ash tree that is infested with Chalara fraxinea. Ash drying affects trunks, branches and leaves, causing bark necrosis and premature drying of tree tops. The disease is spread through planting plants, seeds and wood of the genus Fraxinus sp.

Latest job. It is reaching our limits but made for some good climbing.

How so?

 

[friedrich]

How so?

i was wondering the same

 

[Patrick A]

The amount and size of wood to move off site is a limiting factor for our equipment. There is so much quartering I am willing to do. This elm spar was still 30ft tall when I took this picture. Bigger companies can have big jobs. No shortage of trees in CT.

That's a big bar for up there. I've had really good luck moving giant rounds with a wedge like you have and a simple 24"crow bar- gives plenty of force in a small, light package

Dying cedar to near shop.




root disease doug-fir reduction upwind of shop. Even after topping, I was 60' short of rope to MRS. At least a 200' rope.




Same tree, further away.

Hella D Firs!

 

[Burnham]

I climbed DRT/MRS with 225' of 13mm Blue Streak in DF just like that, more than a few times...it can be pretty arduous . Heavy rope, and a lot of it, having to overcome gravity and friction loads with muscle.

 

[SeanKroll]

2 of loads of brush in a 23' grapple truck bed, I think.

 

[Maximalist]

I finished pruning the linden trees near the historic building. The goal was to make it more visible.

 

[Maximalist]

Today I continued pruning trees to improve the views of the historic buildings.

 

[Kaveman]

Your city is quite beautiful @Maximalist! It's good that they care about the view!

 

[Maximalist]

Today I continued my tree pruning work -

What's that beautiful yellow building? Looks religious.

 

[SeanKroll]

Nothing fancy.

1/4" pitch conversion and West Coast Saws dogs on my 193t!!

Put on a new sprocket nose and clutch assembly part (little clippy thing that holds a clutch 'plate') on my 261.

Air in the tires.

Helped my neighbor clean his shop a little.
