Lets get this party started...

[MasterBlaster]

I love pines! They come down so easy!

 

[MasterBlaster]

Dam! I can't get no piney wood luv up in here?

 

[MasterBlaster]

Pines are so cool!

You can stop, and contemplate...

 

[MasterBlaster]

Then you chunk that top and go home!

So, no one wants to throw down? :Eye:

Throw down? I removed a 25' tall poplar in the rain/snow(couldn't feel my hand on the saw but somehow it was running), a 30' black locust with and a 20' elm with a bucket truck. If we were playing cards that would hardly be two-pair compared to your straight. It's swell being a company man. Your big, fun pine, with its HUGE drop zone just serves to torment me. I was a day climber/contract guy several years ago but didn't like the whole feast or famine lifestyle; not very conducive with a family.

Sorry, forgot this was a pic forum. A couple from my Cali' days. I thought there were nesting birds in the top and had kids watching me, "Daddy, what's he doing with the birdy's home?" I climbed to within 8' of the top and sent it down gingerly with a rope...no birds. Sometimes I'm just too big of a softy.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Ain't nothing to it but to do it!

Nice shot How long did it take?

 

[jason j ladue]

master, do you always work w/out a lanyard on yer saw? just noticed it here...

 

[056kid]

does anyone see that face on the left side of the tree. That would be worth saving.

 

[vharrison2]

yes I saw it also, I am wondering if it is the kind you can buy and put on the tree or if it was a natural occurrence

 

[MasterBlaster]

You mean that triangle face? Ha. That was natural.

No lanyard on my saws, Jason.

 

[jason j ladue]

[MasterBlaster]

Another day, another pine.

 

[MasterBlaster]

My "photographer" missed the top coming out.

 

[MasterBlaster]

This job was on an Army base, they cleaned it up. This piece of equipment cost $180,000 and can do 60mph. That's a backhoe folded up in the bed.
