whadja do today?

[tree MDS]

Behind another house doing spider lift work again today. Had the bucket waiting out front for the next tree. Ahh, to be the MDS! Lol.

Cherry we transplanted the other day. We did everything according to my ANSI 300 BMP book but it did get pretty wilty by the end of the day. It was hotter than anticipated.

What's funny is we made more transplanting this tree than today's basswood and hickory removals. It was for a National Cemetery and required prevailing wages and lots of red tape. I told them it would be much cheaper just to remove and replant but they opted for the transplanting.

I got into planting/transplanting large trees maybe 10 years ago for a few years that would tip over a good size Bobcat. Thought it to be a good niche job no one else would do. used the crane with a canvas apparatus. Used the big stumper to dig the hole which made very nice back fill soil. VERY profitable...until one died. Some were more sensitive to this than others. Replacement shot the job to hell. Autumn blaze (Silver maple cultivar) always made it. We would NEVER do it in this hot weather

Do you think maybe if you totaled up all the plywood layin', track machine being delivered to site, creeping off trailer, creeping around house, setting it up, taking it down, creeping back around house, creeping on trailer, being transported to shop...a guy with a wraptor would have topped and removed that tree maybe 3 or 4 times in that amount of time? Just a question...don't go getting all pi$$y and throwing insults all

I dunno. We made good money on it (dead ash, not sure how your old bag of bones could’ve rigged the limbs/leads down with all that underneath. Zip line? Still going to take forever - and be dangerous. Then have to rig the wood manually. I don’t see things adding up the same way you do.

Plus two other guys looked at it and didn’t want to touch it (dead ash), one actually referred me. So I dunno, Dave.

Those are the jobs you want. Nothing crazy just a pain in the ass if you don’t have the right equipment.

I dunno, I’m sure Fabio there could’ve rigged it down quicker and without all the plyboard. LOL

 

[treevet]

Would LOVE to see a VIDEO of the whole plyboard fiasco and snail speed movements on ground and in the air of that td. Bet I'd be home in the a/c climbing it while The tree MESS and his crew of splinter handed abused groundies stumble/fumble through this easy job. just sayin....and I mean that in the nicest way possible.

Wonder what a sheet of 3/4 plywood that dries out in a couple of weeks and becomes like a big sponge weighs when it gets wet? 80 lbs? ...a hundred?.... Slave driver?

And wonder where that kid (Zin or something like that) went that the Tree MESS seemed to sponsor ("I REALLY like having him around")? You weren't "touching" that kid ...were you?

im actually nice and knowledgeable until your a ******** about something, or say **** about my skills and ability which you have no ****ing clue

[Rabid K9]

dont even need a wraptor, I could have put a saddle and spurs on and had the top out before he even got that piece of junk un chained and had plywood down

By golly is life going to fog your glasses....

Lol. Sounds like you never used plywood a day in your life. Didn’t you just get the 12 used mats from the rental place a year or two ago? What did you do before that? Every takedown was a “craner”? I doubt it. Sounds like there have been a lot of hacked up lawn jobs in your infinite experience LOL. Just sayin.

Man, I climbed everything back in the day… forever! Never turned a tree down. Huge oaks, whatever. I always thought the manual takedown was the ultimate show of a tree man’s abilities. Hardly ever needed a ****** crane. Nowadays all these pansies think they’re hero’s because Bartlett taught them how to put a ****ing sling on a tree and hope for the best. Jesus….

you ignored this part..."And wonder where that kid (Zin or something like that) went that the Tree MESS seemed to sponsor ("I REALLY like having him around")? You weren't "touching" that kid ...were you?"

Please tell me this is NOT how the tree MDS rolls. Please.

We are performing European style, progressive, safe tree work here, Fabio. This is not like New Jersey or wherever you’re from. We’re not climbing long dead ash trees with the bark falling off in sheets. All your cute little jokes aside, I’ve seen people close to me get hurt. Nobody is climbing any dead trees here unless it’s me. And thankfully I don’t have to do that anymore. I have found a better way. So I’m sorry you missed out on being proficient with the spider lifts and using ground protection, etc., but tough **** lol. Just saying.

 

[tree MDS]

And btw, team MDS says **** you, from the home base.

 

[tree MDS]

Me at about your age...same bag, same bones...same muscles...just a little seasoned.
