Here's one we did this morning. Real branchy and bad spot. LOTS of wires and terrible chokers(different in length and twisted up).

Lol.

It was good. I wondered how the last trunk cut went off though.

Good tunes for once too! though not a big rage fan these days personally, gettin older I suppose.

Same with me, MDS. Ya still gotta pump some every now and then though. When I'm lucky enough to catch it on the radio en route to a jobsite you best bet those windows are down and the stereo's up. Oh, and Ricky, good job, but you already knew that.

Butt came off without a hitch. New crane op so they are some things we have to iron out. Bigger crane would be nice. Thanks for the comments!

crane on brother, good work, and a cool assss video.

why was it removed?
well, for other than our favorite reason, of course.

the check.

 

[Rickytree]

Hey TreeSlayer! Your name gives me an idea for my next track on the new video. But the tree was takin down because the owner just bought the house and it was ruining the driveway and he worried about it failing and taking out the hydro stack or landing on the house. Thanks for the compliment! Cheers!!

Nice work and all but I would say its border line at best for needing a crane.

What's a McCain Maple? Is it known by any other names? (thx.)

 

[Rickytree]

Stihl o matic, The limbs over the house and wires would have been a nightmare. Treepointer, it's the name of the street. Thanks for the replies!!

Well, that's pretty straightforward. I thought it was a species of maple I didn't know.

And thanks for the vid.

No hard time but it is alittle bulky around the neck. Na it's just quicker this way. I will get some shots up in the tree. When working with the crane the op is alittle nervous about footage. Hint- hoisting.

Yeah I here ya...the guy around here was letting me ride up until last year when Johnny T and his crew tipped that crane in Belleville. Now no one round here will let you ride unless you're in the middle of nowhere and definately no pics!!

You can still get some good, safe POV shots though I would think!!
