It would be pretty hard for me to trust my life to something engineered by man when talking these kind of heights... nature is a superior engineer to man. I think I would rather just climb the tree.

The leo 75 footer I could handle though... just not so much with the 165 footer. lol.

Ok tree meds next one I find like this I will be callin ya ok?
We will discuss how superior nature is :laugh:

Come on Rope. That one's easy.

1. Throw ball; fix rope (the fibrous kind, not the verbose kind) in top of tree.

2. Tie 2nd rope to trunk above the open hole; run the tail through the windows of the house and secure to something in the back yard.

3. Attach 20,000 lb bumper mounted winch to top of tree; pull until Rope (the verbose one) gets real nervous or tree falls away from house.

Optional step 4. start chainsaw, apply backcut until tree is yanked away from the house.

But I was speaking of climbing and rigging:jawdrop:
 
Iv'e seen those pics before. What I can't figure out if why would any homeowner let a tree get that bad before calling someone in. Quite the hazard tree...... Mike

Brother you aught to see some of the ones I get called on. Huge behemoths that look like a piece of driftwood hanging over the house. People just don't seem to be able to comprehend that the price goes up with the inherent danger of a dead and deteriorating tree.

Yeah Iv'e heard that logic too. The more that falls off it the less it costs right? haha..... Mike
 
Don't buy from I-80 Equipment, they are right bye me, they are crooks, never experienced it my self, have plenty of friends who have got stuff there, they use a lot of smoke and mirrors on their trucks, to make run long enough for you to leave, then yer on yer own. Bad place for honest people.

Try Schmidys Machinery in Clinton, ILL, I bought 2 trucks there, CHEAP, all in good working order, lift certified as well.

WOW! do not know what happened here, I must have been out of it when I typed this.What happens when you wake up in pain and get on the computer. What I said above is the exact opposite of what I meant. I had the names mixed up or sumtin, BUT TO BE CLEAR. I-80 is a nice place. I have been to their op and seen that they are legit. I have never dealt with them,as in buying from them, and have never heard anything bad. I seen inside their shop and talked to the mechs, they know what they are doing, and they showed me their version of reconditioned, very nice. Top mech told me that they do not send anything out the door unless it has been completely gone thru. I looked at a sold model, went thru it, comparing it to mine, worlds of difference. That truck was 100% legit. Had all paper work as well.
All the negative above was mis-directed, why, I dunno! Again my brain must have been wired wrong that day.
The other place, on the other hand, all bad applies.
So, TO ALL and especially I-80 equipment, I apologize for the above post.
