Red Maple Removal

[JTinaTree]

Here is a 60ft red maple I took down last weekend, I did not have the best camera man on hand so the pictures are limited.I worked on the front leader first while tied into the second. I had to rig down 70% of this baby because electrical service for both houses was on either side of the tree ,also had a fence and little wall down there too.

Good work in close quarters. Interesting use of a ratchet strap. Did you want to limit movement between the two stems? Or feel that one tree needed stabilizing?

very cool'

for those with problems viewing large pictures sizes.

mozilla firefox browser will automatically fit them to screen size ,
still takes as long to load of course.
using internet-explorer today is kinda like still using an old 2-man saw in some respects without the fun factor

Not seen in the pictures, I had to drop some pretty good size tops down on the block. We had to swing them away from the roof and power lines. With this in mind I knew there was going to be some shock loading. I did not want to take any chances so I took my 2in ratchet strap and cinched the two stems together. Just a back up saftey to give me some piece of mind while I am working.
