Put this poor tree out of its misery today. What looks like limbs on the right is actually the top just folded over.

Could've planted another tree in it.

Easily could have supported another tree.

Winch for the win. I'd have been left with few palatable choices many a time in my USFS work without the big Warn on the front bumper of my several assigned 4x4 trucks. I have not heard yet any real reason why so few arb services have one or more on their rigs...maybe it is pure lack of imagination

@davidwyby...Why no roller fairlead? I can see there would most often be little sideways pull for the trailer, so maybe that is it?

Well, at least you have a powered winch to put to the job as required. I applaud.
I needed the well-used and often neglected Lewis winch, powered by an ancient but reliable Stihl 056, more than a few times when the truck mounted Warn couldn't be put in play.

I've got a Simpson capstan. Useful.
So much of our work is away from the truck, and other things to buy.

Upgraded from my old 12k that served me well for many years, two decades, finally died…bought used - to a used 15k. Haven’t modded the fairlead yet. Feeding off the boom, the cable generally goes where it’s supposed to.

Spruce tippy top, this was part of the job, the other part was cutting back two walnuts over the roof and removing a small dead ash plus a privit hedge removal.

New grinder anti-vibe system for the grinder sweep valve...a bungee. Need to put in a tension pin for the tongue valve....round tuit.
I'm liking the Jet sled so far. Only used it a bit. Root mat from under bricks.
Worked on Steamboat Island yesterday and part of today.
Some tip-tie and lower between power and internet lines. Maybe a red maple. Very upright.

Today I watched a very high production tree service grind a huge stump with a beat-looking but highly effective RG100 which imo is one of the best grinders ever made. They used bungees to keep the throttle lever fully engaged and they did the entire clean up and loam and seed by hand. This outfit does all the big or difficult town tree removals here and I was a bit astounded to learn they clean up all stumps by hand. And they commute 1.5-2 hours per day from Rhode Island to do this town work.
We would crush huge stump clean ups with the Kubota 520 wheel loader. Diff strokes/diff folks.
