whadja do today?

None of those 5 pines exceeded 65' and you have a huge drop zone. I would be embarrassed to even consider renting a crane on those little pines.

Remember your just as dead falling twenty foot as you are from 150. We only have one pic of your work I assume that is you in your avatar. I see nothing you gained from taking cheapo shots at blake he does good work and remember were all tree men here.

Yeah he popped off on my tree growing out of the roof near 3 phase too. Something about stobs being amateur and ricocheting rounds. I have likely climbed before his first diaper change and I use stobs and block to keep limbs from crashing the spar lowering from them.

Wanted to get a crane in ( and bid it for such silliness, figuring on this being a one day project ) but the first pic is 85 feet from the trees and the crane couldn't fit past that point, which put the turret at 100 feet away. No room to put on the jib, no room for a bigger crane. "#### it, we'll do it live!"

Really? You need a crane for that? You'll do it live? You must of left your "man suit" at home and then went back and got it and took time to post.
Jeff , glad your happy.

 

[ropensaddle]

Anyway were in this industry we should be a little less condescending toward each other imho.

Nice O'Reilly quote, Blakes. Not bad tree work either, despite what the loons say.

Anybody ever over tensioned chipper knife bolts by say, oh 25%? Time for new fasteners or you think they'll last for 75 Ponderosa? I mean, what's the worst that can happen?

 

[tree md]

"man suit" hehehe... That's funny and I don't care who you are!

Lakers win...

Hey rope, I left about a 10' stub to block the top from swinging back into the phase 3 on the last one I did around lines. Hey, whatever it takes. Sometimes you have to think outside the box...

Lol. You can use the fence for reference there big shot. The block was set at 62 feet and I was guessing another 25 or so on top of that but you're right, I could be off by a bit, there might only be 3 foot of tree above the block. And a drop zone in the front don't mean #### when everything is weighted toward the rear. Oh, and Jeff, you weirdos and your hate for cranes. You have fun showing your awesome climbing and rigging skills, I ain't in this gig for the fans. lol

Ahhh hah busted, your not going to pass off those tooth picks for 90 footers on a North West arborist. I'll bet ya our truck has more 200' climbing lines then you have carabiners.
If you are so well off you can burn $1,200 on a crane rental I won't stop you. I do jobs like this on a routine basis, use the second pine in as your tower,use the chipper winch, z-rig or 3-4 ground guys and take pieces down in 15-20' sections. Cut wood and stack in back yard and post on craigs list and gone in 24hrs. If you have to rent dingo to move the wood your still saving $1,000 Just another 8 hr day, no crane required.

I don't do business with wood scrounges. Especially the ones who want pine. As far as rigging the way you described, I always have the same concept when looking at white pines from the ground. After that first hunk comes off and bumps into the pole and a branch snaps off and nearly misses the fence I generally tend to reconsider. I've yet to find a good way to do these bastards other than taking them off limb for limb. Occasionally you can find a spar that's completely clear of obstacles that you can smash big chunks full of brush into but that isn't usually the case. I'd like to meet the crew that could put those 7 trees down and clean up the brush in an 8 hour day. Really, I would.

You need to hire me for a day. I'd show you how to hang them and bring whole trees down from the ground...

Good job though bro. Don't let anyone tell you different.
