That was a lot of picks. How'd the trunk go?

It came up about 4 feet then branched off. 2 picks per limb. The first lift was so the next lift would be balanced. Boom truck cranes suck compared to a normal crane with counter weight.

Nice video , keep up the good work .

Who can speak the truth without being bias? DANCAN! Thanks Dan. The operator could have been alittle quicker on the down low but all picks came off smooth. Which you would not be able to notice if the video was sped up nor would you see how fast the butt cuts were made. Cheers

I haven't done any tree jobs requiring a crane (yet) but I've hired climbers and bucket trucks and enjoyed those jobs .
Speed means nothing , I'd rather rather slow and easy than rip and crash .
The videos are great because I try and keep them in the reference library (gray matter between the ears) and apply when required .

Thanks Rickyvogas, and Treetom! Will try to get some new stuff out soon. Been surprisingly busy for this time of the year and economy. How's things in your neck of the woods?
