Two days ago we took down this ash, showing extensive internal decay. We used the GRCS, in a drag line set up to move the pieces out of the way of the dogwoods and shrubs. Worked great only ended up having to drop 3 pieces into the miniature drop zone. Another excellent takedown, thanks to the greatest rigging device known to man.

My groundie running the Grcs w/ drill. Notice the joy on his face. Thanks to not having to hump all the log out of the 2nd tier landscaping.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Don't tell me that's it!

 

[TreeJunkie]

The rest of the pics came, out terrible, We took some video footage, however i don't have any of it w/ me right now.

Removal we got started on a couple of days ago. Still haven't finished b/c the ground is to wet. Needing a dingo to help haul the logs out. Anyways here is a few pics. Warning, the pic size is large. Sorry, i still can't figure how to resize these things. Anyways if you want to check it out here ya go.

another, We were speed lining all of the brush out as close to the gate as we could, used the Grcs w/ drill attachment.

 

[TreeJunkie]

here's the top we speed lined over.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Sweet, TJ! I hardly ever get the chance to speedline, but when I do, I like it!

 

[TreeJunkie]

Sorry, there guys, I'll fix that on the camera. Does anyone know what software i need to change the size on pics which i've already taken.

I love speedlining, do it whenever it'll speed up a job, or even if it will just make the groundies jobs a little easier. Just ordered a new 300' speedline last week, as well as an ISC rigging plate.

nick told me to use microsoft pic editer its worked well and easy

 

[MasterBlaster]

I kinda like em large, you can see details.

But, I am a high-speed kinda guy. And why wouldn't I be?

 

[MasterBlaster]

Well, as long as this thread iz up...

 

[a_lopa]

how do you get into paint rocky?

 

[Down To Earth]

TJ, did you sell any of those logs? looks like real nice timber to me. I think you could have definetely brought those to the mill RB style

 

[TreeJunkie]

Unfortunately there was no crane access nor access w/ any sort or large equipment. This property is a real pain in the arse. Tons of mature oaks, however construction damage has really taken its toll. In order to get this tree out of there we had one heck of an uphill hike. Total walk probobally 125 yards, most being at a steep incline. Too bad b/c there would have been some real nice lumber from that tree. Not really sure if we'll even be able to salvage for firewood. There is fear of death by oak wilt. Though construction damage definitely has taken it's toll around the property. This tree did not show many symptoms of this. I was on the property 2 months ago and the tree was in fairly decent shape. Now the tree is crispy as could be. There is still some doubt however b/c we up until now have not seen oak wilt this far south of town, nor on this property. We'll be sending off samples to Kansas State for analysis; just to be certain.
