I recently posted some pics of this tree trying to determine the species. Have come to the conclusion thru the majority of your responses that it is an elm. After seeing some of the crane removal pics on here, and especially that this tree was supposedly dead for 7 years prior to removal I am thinking that crane out is the route I should have took. The tree was approxiamtely 100' tall. I used a 36,000 lb 80' Articulating lift to work from, as the limbs were quite dead towards the top. My questions are A. Should this have been craned out? B. If it were craned out, would you climb it, or work from a lift to make the rigging attachemts and cuts? C. And can you give me any idea what a job like this should go for, as I lost money doing it at $2,500 leaving the stump and doing some minor trimming on a few other trees on the property. This was my largest most hazardous removal so far, I am new and learning so any feedback would help. Here are links for pics and video.
Thanks :newbie:
