West Hempstead NY. It was a fatty! Shame to take it down, beaut tree!

 

[FireFighterZero]

Your right! Beautiful tree. Shame. I would love to have a tree like that, maybe planted a bit further away.

No more logging to do in PA Chris?

 

[CurSedVoyce]

There's plenty to do here. It was a job I took to come in out of the rain when the recession was going on. My business was too young to carry itself through. I got up at 3:30 each morning to make the long drive to be in the woods for 6:30. Logged until 3:30 and whatever daylight was available I went and climbed and banged out the tree jobs that were coming in. Worked 6:30 AM climbing and doing tree jobs until dark on Saturdays and Sundays. I had to keep the business alive. I wasn't willing to throw in the towel but I needed a full time job to guarantee my kids were fed. That period of my life aged me and burned a part of me out.

 

[Tucker943]

I miss that period of my life sometimes. As pressured and beat up as I was, I was happier.

I hear that last bit, from my forays with 40/ week, and biz on the side, and one young one.

I dig the logging pics, chris. Any more post em up! Im looking forward to parking my trucks and logging this winter. Dropping trees, no stress no rush. Ahhh.

Big assed tree benn, i dont envy you one bit!

 

[cory]

Where were your pics taken?

 

[brendonv]

Milford. 12 unit condo plex. They loved it. Got two nice saw logs too.

 

[PCTREE]

This is how I saved hours of standing on hooks and cutting HUGE wood.

 

[MasterBlaster]

That looks like it could damage the portawrap.

 

[Tucker943]

I'd bet the line breaks first.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

It's the placement Chris. It should really be off to one side of the face so it has less chance of the log slamming it.

Hey Paul good to see someone else using that technique. I used it for the first time on a tulip stick on a slope, with great effect, and last week on a big oak.

As was discussed in the past, I should have cut notches for the sling, it was close to slipping off. Just another day in the urban jungle!

 

[pantheraba]

Good call there..that log really did want to take off!!

 

[Limbrat]

Very nicely done Mistahbenn

 

[MasterBlaster]

Control that sucker!!!

 

[SouthSoundTree]

Knocked down a Doug fir for a friend. Wood will go to a friend of his. He wanted big logs. Wood racks were expendable, but Just missed. Lucky today.

Let Erik get some Ogre time.

Dumped the butt... Rusty at double- cutting, but fit it in.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Close!

 

[SouthSoundTree]

He's going to put his new backhoe to work, for a good part of a day, he says, and do the final pulling with his knuckle boom.

 

[brendonv]

Crane spree. One last week two this week. Before that haven't had one in 9 months. Set this one up for a friend. Hollow hickory lead towards house. No drop zone. Call the crane. Easy day. Wrecked a fat tulips for Harlan after this. Wish I can do this everyday.

 

[MasterBlaster]
