Man thats crazy close to those lines! Don't understand taking that chance at all. The climber is obviously not scared to rig those tops down, why not take all the tops while you're up there? At least until its FOR SURE short of the power.
And rigging the limbs off would keep all the mess in one spot. Not spread in a 100 foot- diameter circle.
Notch was kinda deep but I don't see any problem pulling that spar over when there's room. Better than blocking all the wood down. Every crew with a crane will tell you that the only way to do it is to use a crane. Crews without a crane will set a pull line and start cutting.
Somebody said working until 830 pm is bad? You must not get many big jobs to do. Kinda common around here in summertime.........

This guys not a complete hack, but I'm willing to bet he was taught by one. Dead tree's are always a judgement call, hard to judge if your not there. I didn't think they were doing that bad of a job until they stopped climbing and fell that thing as one piece. A good climber can be in that tree all day, this guy got tired and only climbed 1 1/2 hours. Looks like some more hardware to butt-rig some pieces would be helpful too. When he didn't have a natural crotch he started free dropping.
The point is they really didn't save any time by felling it as one big piece like that. They said it took 4 days of clean-up for them, I've seen a few other guys on this thread say it would of only taken them 2 days. And I would have to agree that it should of only taken 2 days. If it all has to get cut into small pieces anyway, why not do it from the standing tree. This gives your ground crew the ability to keep up with the mess. And a good climber can usually keep the ground crew swamped with brush. The reason it took them 4 days was because they fell it while it was still that big.
Now on to the obvious; If you post a tree removal video on youtube of grazing power-lines, you are pretty f&^%&n dumb. Let alone the power lines are on the opposite side of the street from the property you were working on.
The groundie doing the rope-work seemed to know what he was doing though.

Yeah, That was just crazy. He should of cut it down way farther so it was just a trunk before he decided to pull it down
I know absolutely nothing about what it takes to Bring down a tree at a professional level. I am therefor ignorant. Sometimes "ignorance is bliss". Because i was able to enjoy the crap out'a that video
Apparently I offended z50guru (whatever the fack that is) for asking him why he is in here when he openly admits he has nothing to do with tree care. Here is his PM to me

Can someone pass me my douchebag button while i Neg this Fantastically Amazing Gentleman... :msp_razz:
Have not read the whole thread so this may have been said before...
That job would have been cake with a crane. No risk to power lines or the little maple either. Less than 8 hours of work. They probably did not have that in the budget though. I would bid 3500-4000 on that.

Hes not a bad climber, Just needs some help with rigging and decision making. He's obviosly been taught by an old school guy to cheap to by blocks and thats all he knows. A few days with a good climber could really make something out of him.

they have a stihl o88 with a 60" bar, a block would be chump change.
yeah and they wouldnt have to overlap their running end and melt the rope against itself... but then again they could do that without a block to but dont seem to care.

That is an ancient technique for creating a false crotch, I bet Jeffers did it at one time. The old guy who I work with some still does it on occasion, drives me to drink more. All those new ropes and they couldn't get a block and a deadeye sling?
