I will get some pics up of this, My God...4 large stone dead "trees of heaven" anything but actually!!

theres a swimming pool these things are beside the smallest one is around 60 ft, access is very limited, climbing...NO WAY!! We have to access the rear neighbors yards (3 of em), I scoped this out & I think my team & I can hand push the genie into place as to jackknife between the garage & house will be a chore.

heres where a self propelled would be nice.......I know, I know...quit talking about it & buy one.

I just bid & got the job..........I was dumbfounded that anyone would let something get so bad, if I had my camera I would of got some pics...I will get some up so stay tuned!!

Here is a trade term for ya!
Ailanthius = Landlords worst nightmare.
I always find these fine specimens in deep neglect, always hard to get to, and sometimes really F-ing big.
They grow from sprouts in the cracks to huge stinky monstrosities. Everybody ingnores them like a small hemmeroid that only hurts a little . Give it time and you are going to need severe surgery baby! Ouch!
Sumac, Tree of Heaven; whatever you want to call it, it should not be allowed, need to put the ban on them.
I used to do jobs in the city where I just show up with some tools and a 30 yard dumpster.

That was a complete joke about that tree but that crane ain't no joke.
In the picture it looks as though your are setting up to pull that little tree up.
Saws? Who needs em with that crane?
very nice picture, says a great deal. I think it needs to be in Sherrill's Catalouge. You should send it in to them and and see.
 
Now that is totally awsome. Why can't someone just make a TV show where they show men with huge machines doing amazing things. I don;t mean 15 minute segment. I personally could watch a job like that all day. Love the roar of the diesels and the whine of hydraulics.
 
My God!! That crane wouldnt fit on the one way street in the town im doing the job in!! NICE Machine....thats gotta come with a big bill.
