I can see why you guys have problems with focus of details
That's my linesmen buddy putting the service line back up.
He lowered it before I felled the tree.....get it now?
Nice Williard. Did you pull that tree with a line, wedge it, or did it favor the lay?
Another easy day at the Arboretum. Just brushed out two Firs for crane removal tomorrow, and fell some smallish trees. Here's a smallish Red cedar that I wedged the top out of. Now I know why Reg sapwood cut those pigs when he was out heli-loggin.View attachment 70013
I spent some time today on one of our jobs finally working on editing some of the photos I've shot over the past week for the company Facebook page and website. The boss told me to capture the team in their natural environment, so... ask and ye shall receive!
Some of them are from today's double Hackberry removal.
Little silver maple was one of the kills today. Had one little mistake. Had a little bow in a log I let fly and it bounced up and and bounced off of my truck. No real damage. Just a crack in the grill. Pissed me off though.
Here's an Ash I chewed the corner off, and then a pine I chewed the corner off of, and then a pic of my two crane removal Firs. Andy got some better ones with his smart phone from the ground. Try to get em up tomorrow, or thereabouts.
Wow, I'm on a roll... I'll go out on a limb and try to post this shot of my neighbor's house with Mt. Si in the background...
Rich: Pretty good double-cut brother. I always oversweep em' too. Oh well, much better than a "Witch's Tit." (Under swept, and can cause the pig to bust off a bit sideways.)
Grif: Man that's a tall, spindly Euc. Dang. Had to make a crazy sway... that one. Thanks so much for the pics!
I just had a heck of a time uploading pics, kept returning to the thread not uploading.
Had the "landscaper" I did a contract climb for left me to finish this off solo from Friday. Not too happy about it. HO was upset at the guy that he didn't return to help, it was his job......
The 038 Super did a great job, old 24 inch bar, looks like hell but it hardly saw any use. A 28 coming this week sometime. Gonna make up some bigger dawgs.
Even missed buddy standing there, HO didn't want him moved to safety, for what ever reason. Ground the stump and called it a day.
That's a lot of tree to have to do solo. Did you just cut small enough to hand toss pieces? Those long limbs are prime for rigging with a groundie helping...solo...yuk.
Nice work Jed and Peter. Going to say that was a locust though. I could be wrong. My eyes are burning from staring at a couple fittings trying to find a burr. Third O-ring to blow in two weeks. Starting to piss me off. Found it and cleaned it off. Now hopefully the mechanic will be in early to give me the right o-ring out of his super secret locked up like Fort Knox tool chest.
Crap, missed that, yeah, thornless locust. Had some fierce tension in the wood. As I dropped limbs I was hearing and seeing cracks happening in the stubs, even while cutting a 2ft section, 1/3 way in I could hear and feel a crack over the chainsaw noise.
