What's your plan of attack? Using a crane to keep the stuff away from the house?

 

[Treetom]

We'll back the 8-ton National crane as close to the side of the house (2nd pic) as possible for the 1st limb over the roof, about 5 cuts. The bucket truck will be backed in right where the white oak is, 2nd pic on left. (after that tree is removed, of course) Then I'll reposition the crane, backing it right up to the trunk of the tree from the left. That area of the yard is wide open, giving me lots of room to set the picks down. About 20 more picks to finish the job. The bucket truck shouldn't need repositioning. The tree is about 65' high. I have 65' of boom on the crane and the bucket. If I'm right under the tree I do pretty well. Capacity quickly dwindles as the I lower the boom.

The job went well. How come trees always look smaller when you quote them and bigger when you cut them?

Nice pics.

The tree looks a lot bigger in the later photos once you show a climber next to the limb.

Nice looking setup!! I like that pic with the crane holding the whole top!! very nice.....why cant I get jobs where a crane could be used, let alone a home owner that could afford it!!!

Wait, so how did you get this job via Google search? Would like to see how it turns out.

Thanks for all the comments

Mike, you read my mind. As far as Google Search, I meant that the client, currently in Florida, bought a house in Muskegon, MI and needed a local tree service. She did a Google search for tree services around here and since I'm currently at the top of the list, I had the opportunity to bid the job. I emailed pics of the problem tree to Florida, along with a proposal, and got the job.
