36" White Pine Removal Pics

[teamtree]

Nice pics.

How do you find someone to take pics....I need my guys working....lol

I did this tree plus a few others today....I really need to get a photographer on staff....

We spent an hour and half on this one...chipped up and loaded.

Had one limb touch the power line after I cut it...made me a little nervous

 

[Nailsbeats]

hey todd. how are you blowing them tops out if your not climbing? got a tall bucket and a few poles to set the line? lol

nails i love the photo albums you got going on. i dont know.... i just like seeing pics of tree work.

your old man looked content, seeing his boys bump knots and square'n off the wood. good shot.

when you gonna let me come climb some of your tree's man?


blakes thanks for believing in what ive used. means something....to me at least. dont worry though you guys are going to off to the next thing in no time. gotta evolve or get stuck behind in this game. lol

Thanks OD, you've been a big help to me from the get go, I appreciate it. And yes, the old man is getting more and more content as the years go on, lol. I don't think he even gets a saw ready for a job anymore!

You want to come climb?, let's set it up.

I just don't like to count on a white pine hinge. I would have roped the back lead off with the front then bombed the front lead.

Like I said, I'm just going by pics. Things can look different.

Yeah, that would have worked fine, just more time consuming, we went for the money cuts, lol. We've laid out many White Pine, scaling them and cutting about half way up. We did a job this winter where we layed out four 90 footers between a house and power this way, using a tractor to pull. Didn't get any pictures because it was all high tension work.

Great pics, nice job, beautiful day. Thanks Nails.

How about it, got some sap on those ropes?

No, flat out no. I brought out my friction saver, but no luck, couldn't find a sappy crotch. Lots of sap on the logs though, not a speck on the ropes.

TREE KILLER! That tree looks fine, I would have left it. Lol.

My old man took some of the pictures, the homeowner lady took the rest. I told her kind of how to do it and she took over from there, I thought she did awesome.

Good job beats like way to make a couple grand

How old was the tree? Sounds stupid but we have a simular species here that grows real fast.

The guy we took it down for was a science teacher. He had me slab of a piece of the stump so he could present it to his class to count the rings. There was a 3rd tree right next to those two that was 125 years old.

Oh shucks Tom, you're making me blush! You are always so supportive, that's what I love about you, you old coot!

Wow, that size would be 40 years old, 50-60 if it had been pruned or in a bad spot. Man they really are weeds here.

White pine hinges just fine......remember, the wood and branch weight is less than most trees. This is here in the PNW anyhow, where we have western white pine......

This tree scaled out at 2100 board feet. I dropped an appx 55 foot top from 80 feet up or so. The tree on the right was 152 feet tall, and had over 2500 bf in it. I dumped an even larger top on it. Got two low grade log truck loads out of them and a smaller third pine.

I agree there is less weight but I won't pull it over center if I can avoid it. It does not hinge just fine here. You can swing it some but it is definitely hit and miss.

i got something in the works. gotta plan it all out first. lol




here are a few pics for your setup to think about.

 

[oldirty]

these next two are of my setup now.

in that second pic i am holding an accessory biner and that bullet troball i use to put on my knot when i want to advance my line in the tree. works pretty good.

 

[oldirty]

and this is my dog LB protecting the yard from a plastic bag that flew into the yard.

 

[Nailsbeats]

Oh yes, the infamous swivel biner, lol. I remember now, really I do, no, honest I'm not even lying.

Thanks for the shots.

Are you completely sold on your new system? I was wondering if you thought about or tried using a double fishermans instead of your bowline on the setup? That's what I am doing now because it falls apart once unclipped, but I haven't tried the bowline, I know it comes apart easy.

Whats up with the stock bridge and ring along with the custom True Blue bridge? Is that a new deal too?

What are you lining up an Oldirty Lower 48 States American Tour? lol.
