What did ya do, let the mini warm up for 7 hours?
Seriously, nice tree for climbing. No pic of the aftermath, but nice work Dan
The mini seems to have a throttle lock-out until its warm enough. Damage to hydraulics due to cold are caused by high pressure pushing on cold hard piston seals.
This is the tree I have been bragging about and finally got to taking it down. Its my 4500 dollar tree ! Its got THE CANKER!
It died last spring and now the tops were dry. Actually the whole tree was pretty dry. I used two ropes to get out to the tips of a couple branches. Actually 3, but I used one really high top rope way up about wrist thick then another below on about 6 inch, then used a third to pull myself out to a couple of the long horizontals. Using the two top ropes slowed me down but I'd rather jerk off like that than to see my TIP crack.
For the most part I snuck what I could then put the rest on the big block and 3/4" bullrope. It was a fun tree. It would not have been if I hadn't been pulled up there with the mini, I think it was three times so far.
Just me and another guy. We left a 75 foot pole and load of logs neatly piled. We only had about 5 yards of chips with my 90xp but my boy went crazy with the backpack blower so I must have shoveled the same in twigs,dust, dirt and lawn moss.
One more day and you'll have it licked. Nice payday.

Shame I don't have a picture of the drop zone which there isn't much of.
Take your phone up and snap a quick pic.
It's easy

14* F was the high that day. The next day was 40. This weather needs to make up its mind.
Funny u say that cause its supposed to be a high of about 4 degrees tomorrow for me! Last week the boss called work due to it being tooo cold( single digits in the morning) so I went and framed a second floor addition, haha bunch of pusses! Now pulling a snow covered roof off is slightly sketchy...
