[no tree to big]

heres a couple trees i trimmed.the bigger tree is cracked badly just wondering what could be done to save it.View attachment 260834View attachment 260835View attachment 260839

I hope you at least cleaned up them stubs... I suggest you find somebody who knows how to properly trim a tree and pay that guy to teach you cause I would not be happy if I came home to those trees...

if I did that where I live I would not get payed

Tree trim

Thanks that's why I Posted the pics to get feedback. Because of the split the home owner wanted a lot of weight taken of. I did exactly what I was asked to do. Had I not known them I would of used an arborist I know to work with me. Is it just the stubs or other mistakes that you could point out. Thanks in advance

I cleaned up what was left of a maple tree this morning. The home owner hired someone and that someone left without finishing. I was leerie but a reliable friend said all I had to do was go and load my trailer with maple (brush was gone, etc.)

Well it worked out fine....I just finished splitting and stacking a small amount (~1/3rd cord) of maple BTU's.....Now its snowing like crazy (won't stick but it sure is pretty!)

So that's what lion tailing is.
Learn something new every day.
It looks like those splits would be a good candidate for cabeling, if they want to keep them. I'd politics the owner for taking it down.

Just aerial mason that ****! And throw some aircraft cable with ubolt buckles on it...lol. .....:confident: p.s. put the cables 3ft above the split with j lags...... I'm totally kidding man don't do any of that. Just cut it down.

Thank you, I'll pass it on to my photographer aka "groundie"

 

[2treeornot2tree]

it was pretty hard with the line i had so i will get some smaller diam.the bucket truck is working better it was an easy fix with the cables now its alot more comfortable and safer i presume.its too old for altec to work on and they cant even give me advice on it for insurance reasons.

When the manufacture tells you they wont work or give you advise on your truck cause its too old, I would feel really really leary about the truck. I would have ran away from that deal. Just saying.

I get to go retrieve some gear I left in a tree a few days ago when I had to bail because the weather got real nasty real quick

You guys get to keep climbing in November. Its been winter here for a month or more. I need to find an indoor shop or gym here so I can rope climb thruout the winter. And get my abs in better shape.
Spring will be here in May and there will prolly be plenty of climbing.

Wise choice Boots to get out of a tree when the Wx.gets bad. Like an old timber Faller I worked with used to say. The days you get blown out. You don't loose a day, you gain a day to live.
