Negative. 4 cylinder ford gasser.

Ahhhhh. I was loaned an 89 horse diesel that looked like the twin of that. It ripped through material compared to my 50 horse.
Come to think of it that 4 cyl Ford may have more hp than that diesel did. I used to have a Industrial Ford 4 in a chuck and duck. It ripped too.

Bad bad tree.
Do yall ever work at night?
A big tree outfit with lots of eqpt and crane showed up at 830 last night next door to my sons house. His neighbor has had 80 foot pine on house about 2 weeks...tree company got brush off 2 weeks ago and tarped it. Showed up in the dark to remove trunk...backside of house roof...bad access. Seemed crazy to me. How often do cranes work in dark?

Funny part is that in a hurricane, that's the tree that would remain standing.

Every single bucket truck I've owned since my first one 13 years ago have had spotlights on them for working at night. I have never used the spotlights on any job, ever.

I've been on a crane job that went into the night. Trees along a road. Risky, it sucked. The crane company stuck it to me for the overtime as well.

Chestnut oak with a deck built around it from a few weeks ago. Controlled speedline for most of the brush, the wood under the deck was interesting to get out.

Beautiful tree..too bad about location. Good job there.
Nice pics, all.
Love the crane pics cuz I loves me a crane. Paul, now that you've had the crane a couple years (?), how have your operating skills improved since day 1. Do you see yourself being even better in a few more years or does the curve level off once you've been running it week in/week out for awhile? Just wondering, thanks.

Hedging today… I tried to give it a conical look rather than a box look.
I didn't run into any nests.

You should put plywood down on that headache rack, August.
I hate getting crap all over the hood, windshield.
Plus, you're always in the shade!

Talked my brother-in-law into renting a nifty tm50 for a box elder that was in terrible shape. It was a pretty handy machine.

Oh man there just isn't enough money to make me do hedges any more. You really need to question the judgement of anyone who would want you to hedge trim a bunch of trees at 20' anyway. I've been asked a few times and always just say I'm not interested.
Got to flop a fat pine tree today across the back yard of a million dollar lakefront house. I was supposed to use my bucket truck but they neglected to tell me about the 10' wide strip next to the pool with a 30 degree side slope and a power pole and fence on the down side. No way in hell was I going to get in there and slide into the power pole. So I paced it off, decided it would fit between the pool deck and another tree, then pulled out the Flop-O-Matic. Less than 30 minutes start to finish. Sorry I forgot my camera.
Tomorrow I have a relatively short but fat camphor removal. Pool screen, house, fence. About 48" at the stump according to the landscaper. Will bring the camera for giggles.

I would hedge for that kind of money. But I still wouldn't enjoy it.
