chipper quite a distance away on a level road and forward all the brush and body wood out with the mini skid. Some of the cottages have a very steep narrow winding gravel drive way down to a lake front cottage that is only wide enough for a little VW golf! It might take a little longer to get that lift in and set up but once you are set up it will go quick and safe. EAB is a whole other story. People are leaving the trees to long after they die, can't get a crane anywhere near them sometimes, no bucket access. I will be demoing one of those lifts soon. No one else around has one and there are thousands of ash trees that are infected here and are gonna have to come down. The way I see it with the lift is I can name my price. They want it done right by someone with insurance and workers comp and who has a clue and the right equipment for the job then they will pay for a professional. They wanna hire some jackazz off Craig's list who is gonna smash their million dollar plus lakefront all to hell then go for it. I don't push my luck with these stupid ash...........lucky we could get a crane to this one. It was on a river bank. We were able to save the little elm that is pinned under it in the picture, just pruned a few broken limbs off it. If I didn't have very limited access locations you bet it would be a crane just like you said!
Yup. Got the first harness I ever had up there too.Yeah, you big red-heads are sentimental,, just like my bro
