I took this Poplar down a few days ago. We are already 12" above on rainfall, and uprooting trees are becoming frequent jobs.

Nice job

What kind of loader were you using?

Bobcat MT52

 

[Treetom]

Nice little machine. I noticed you slammed some pieces and roped the others. Were you trying to isolate the lawn damage to the area near the trunk?

 

[ggttp]

Yes, and a few would have crushed a little tree, plus the last big one would have landed on the deck.

 

[Treetom]

ggttp, what kind of camera setup were you using in the tree?

It is a Sony cyber shot. I want to get a helmet cam.

Cybercam is a little camcorder, right? A bit difficult to run a saw and tape at the same time. A POV shot when you roped the big limb would have been sweet. Of course, a 200t in one hand + a cybercam in the other = one hell of a ride. Let me know how your search for a helmet cam goes. In the meantime, I'm going to mount my Kodak digital camera to my hardhat with a 1/4-20 screw and see how that works. GoPro doesn't look much different than a Kodak with a strap attached. See the link below.

I bought an Oregon Scientific, I will make a video and get it on here so you can check it out. My guess is it is going to be a little grainy and probably have a slow light adjust.
