Tree felling vids

Nice Gary, the blueberries should thrive there with pine fed soil.

 

[pantheraba]

Apparently so...Billy says they like acidic soil and says that spot should be excellent.

Pure environmental mayhem Next time I have blue berries I'll think of this.

 

[pantheraba]

hahaha...hadn't thought of that. We are killing some perfectly good trees to plant little ole blueberry bushes. That would surely make some folks nuts.

 

[Tarzan]

Probably the same kind of folks who live in some major coastal city that had to be cleared of old growth timber to make room for the city

Cool vids BTW

 

[Bermy]

Bet it was interesting way up there in that breeze!

 

[pantheraba]

True dat...helped keep the sawdust away, too, though.

 

[gf beranek]

You're getting to be quite the tree tramp, Gary. Kudos

 

[pantheraba]

Thanks, Jerry. It stays interesting, for sure.

another leaner, from a few years back, not the best saw handling, but it got the job done

I think you need a six pack of saw files from main line mower more then you need a cameraman.

Here's a nasty split oak from hurrican sandy..

GRCS came through again!

 

[bonner1040]

its the next EPOSODE!

3 -3/4 minutes talk, 1-1/2 minute one handed chainsaw operation from the bucket. Never seen none of that before, thanks for the eye-opener Dan.

[SouthSoundTree]

hahaha, Jack!

 

[Al Smith]

By the looks of things that thing could have done some serious damage were it to let go .

 

[gf beranek]

Nasty tree.

 

[Tarzan]

Not too many Oak trees around here...amazing how that thing was hanging on.

 

[treesmith]

Just curious, Daniel....how did you get the line set in the failing lead? Were you able to set it from the ground with a throwline? Nasty one for sure.

 

[woodworkingboy]

That would make a good vid for home owners, show the negative possibility of poor weight distributed trees.

I was able to set a line between the two with a throwline, but that was just supposed to be a backup.. A climber set the bull line, through the good side, around the split side and back to the good side, giving 2:1 with the GRCS..

I had to take cut a few limbs out of the way to set a lowering line in the good side.. Once we got as much as possible bombed and lowered off the good side, we set up two blocks, one one each side and lowered the majority of the wood out from there.. retaining wall prevented access with skid steer, or bucket

I've got a lot more showing what happens when pruning and cabling are neglected... One walnut last year, I told the customer needed a complete prunign to reduce weight oin branch tips throughout the canopy.. he just wanted the limbs over a little apple pruned.. ten days later we got hit with an early snow, that trashed the poor tree, every limb except the ones that had been pruned.. Gotta put something like that together for the industry.. reduction pruning not center pruning

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Just found this one.. Really cool shots through the back cut of the fiber pull.. Hope he had the camera on a stick ....
