You got all the equipment back out of the shop yet Ryan ??

Crane is out, log truck is waiting for a new hydro pump and a cylinder rebuild. They didn't get to the rig on the bucket, but they will this weekend. I'll use the bucket this week. The crane subframe needs a gusset welded into it, that is getting done this weekend as well. The chip truck was serviced and in use, and the chipper got the upgraded digital auto feed on her and is ready to rock. The dingo is in for a new motor should be done by the end of the week. Did I miss anything??

Shoot, we're live all this week, just making due with what we have. Taking down a giant, and I mean giant oak with a trunk as big as I've ever seen in person starting Tuesday. Back yard Crane job tight access 9 foot wide entrance zero forgiveness, shoehorning the crane the bucket and the log truck, but that little log truck is key for forwarding the wood out. The shop said he should have it back for me Tuesday. Hoping so......

How long will the tree take ??

I'll shoot some pictures of it before we start. The crown isn't all that big or complicated besides it's entirely over a house and the leads are all 20" plus. It's the dang trunk that is insanely huge. I quoted it at two days. I'm going to be takin 3ft long trunk pieces off being right up on it with the 25. It's absurd.

 

[luckydad]

We did this one on Saturday it's not huge by any standards. In and out by 3ish.

I have bucket truck envy. Is that an Oregon bar on your saw?

And no joking, the trunk on our oak is twice the size of the base of this oak.

 

[luckydad]

Yea 32" lightweight

 

[ducaticorse]

Did I buy that from a dealer or private sale? I looked at new ones, 150k plus. No thank you

I'd just as soon not have to do trees that big.

Judging by how fast he jumped on the quote I gave him, seems as if none of the other tree services wanted to either lol.

Did you stuff that whole thing into your brush truck?

 

[luckydad]

I got it used from a guy I know here.

No we loaded the chunk wood on the dump truck and put everything else on the loader truck.
