Coolness Jed.

Sam, holy cow is that a big pine! I'm glad they don't get that tall here. My bucket only goes 60'.

Got a call this morning from a guy I worked for about 7-8 years ago. Tree limb fall on his house. Due to the slope of the yard I couldn't use the big truck but the new little truck worked well. Was able to boom out under the canopy and just barely got to the edge of the roof which worked perfect for craning out the big wood. I secured the log about 15' out from the trunk with two lines going through the tree I was working on and the adjacent tree, then tied off the butt as well. My idea at the time was to cut it free and let it swing out away from the roof but I ended up just picking it up off the edge of the roof. All the brush was hand stacked on a 15' sling and then picked up with the boom and loaded in the trailer. Then logs on top.

Couldn't get any help on short notice so I did this one myself in about 4 hours. Was a little technical but mostly just hot.

Sorry those pics were supposed to be rotated. I tried.

 

[SkwerI]

Oh, and a big 'Thank You' to Stephen for helping me get the pics off my phone and on to the interwebs.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Smashy... Your bucket works great for those with that material handler.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

I would love doing some of those pines with you Sam.. Nice hinge BTW

 

[PCTREE]

Wow he's lucky he kept your number and lucky the skylight didn't get smashed

Gotta love equipment...

 

[SkwerI]

A limb was bridged over the skylight with a lot of tension on it. Dimpled the frame but I was able to ease it off without breaking it. The log was pressing on the glass at one point, thought it was gonna blow.

 

[cory]

4 hours alone, that's pretty good.

And you tarped the roof, that's service.

 

[Sgriff]

Nasty Tree Jed! Good job manG👍that alder was a fatty boi

Sam awesome work,your scenery always looks stunning.

Bitchn truck Skwerl,way to wrap up a nasty lil job by yourself 💪

 

[Grendel]

Had this little Maple and another younger Oak at another location to pull over this afternoon. . . The hinge on the oak was so unspeakably bad, that I won't show it here. (Also I forgot to take pictures, it was all looming over a camper and tent-pavilion thing).

Nice. I like to see the implementation of the 'if it can be moved, move it' rule of treework with the firepit.

Nice. I like to see the implementation of the 'if it can be moved, move it' rule of treework with the firepit.

90% of the people in this industry are idiots who don't have the common sense to move an obstacle out of their way. Most will trip over a garden hose or flower pot a dozen times but refuse to move it. Or they cut up a big lead to chip it and leave the big chunks of wood all scattered around behind the chipper instead of making a pile to one side. Then if I say something to make their job easier, I'm told to worry about the bucket work and let them worry about the ground work. I have gotten so disillusioned with the morons populating our industry that I'd almost rather work alone (including the crappy manual labor parts) rather than deal with people who refuse to work smart and get offended by my suggestions.

Sorry, but it's a sore subject for me and I needed to vent. Nice job flopping the maple.

 

[Grendel]

Thanks Justin, I made the poor guy move that about three times. Had to weasel the chipper around all over the place to get the easy drag

No worries Skwerl. I work alone

That tree chipped up so fast, I was in and out in 45 minutes.

 

[Raj]

Not much today. Cut some bushes, HO clean up and stumps grindededed. Typical city backyard access.

 

[treebilly]

High climbers and timber fellers being fresh in my mind today I took this pic.

Nothing in comparison but I have a good imagination. Just like when I mow the lawn, I pretend I'm in the worlds largest combine.

 

[pantheraba]

Imagination is awesome! (each word started with a vowel..how often do you get to do that?)

 

[Bermy]

We sure do get some spectacular skies/clouds here in Tasmania for sure.
Nice run of pictures people!!

Back to reality, a row of hacked Eucalypts I had to restoration prune. It was actually quite fun.

 

[MasterBlaster]

De-hacked!

 

[Mick!]

Back garden Doug fir removal.

Love this machine!

 

[squisher]

Awesome. Big knots on that sucker compared to how most d.firs grow here. I'd refer to it as 'wolfy'. A common arboricultural term that can be used to justify increased cost.

 

[Mick!]

I was going to ask you about that term.

I guess as a solitary tree with no competition it doesn't shed its branches as it goes up.

Not worth a toss as you say.

 

[pantheraba]

You should love that blue devil...cool to see it moving a huge log like that.

 

[PCTREE]

Gotta love iron!

Makes an old man feel young again

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Nice machine Mick
