    My first crane job... Tips?

    Good eye my friend. A Vermeer BC2000 with the grapple does have a few problems, just like any other equipment. The grapple can work like a battering ram with a log. The problem was that the single bearing on the shaft was being crushed by the force of large logs being put in the chipper. It's...

    You guys are something else. I'm going to cut down some more trees today and make some money. Have fun tormenting each other.

    My first crane job... Tips?

    Setting straps with a larger chainsaw, isn't the easiest thing to do either. Try packing a 460, 660, or 880 around in the tree. I have had two herniated disks, and two hernias in the last twelve years...the down time really cost me. I want to work smarter, not harder. The guy strapping...

    My first crane job... Tips?

    He wasn't on our crew, part of the lawn service that gave us the job. We don't wear shorts during tree work, but you can't stop other's from wearing them. Everyone else is wearing the proper PPE.

    My first crane job... Tips?

    Time is money. We move fast and efficiently, plus we cut down big trees in our area. I haven't seen anyone who could keep up and not get wore out by the end of the week. It takes us about five minutes per cut. Where use a 250hp Vermeer BC2000xl with a grapple to keep up with how much we bring...

    My first crane job... Tips?

    There are so many concerns, be cautious of the dynamic load stress or shock load you can put on a crane. Familiarize yourself with signals, safe working load charts, block capacity, etc. Don't over do it. A good crane operator that is familiar with tree work usually knows, so keep in good...

    How do you beat the fly by night tree people

    I would rather insult someone's ego, rather than see them get hurt. Don't be afraid to question someone's practice. Stop them, offer them assistance or education on proper techniques on tree removal. You might be saving someone's life or avoiding a disaster. Be the bigger person, most people...

    How do you beat the fly by night tree people

    Ladders should come with a warning label, "NOT INTENDED FOR TREE REMOVAL PROJECTS, MAY CAUSE DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY".

    How do you beat the fly by night tree people

    The best thing to do is to promote a professional image. Educate customers on the danger involved in having a tree removed (it is the most dangerous profession) in literature or on your website. Let customers know that your company is insured by sending them proof. The proof must have their...
