Those sycamores are easy to climb, lots of good TIP's...a good climber could have chunked those down in no time at all, saving you rental fee....but I will say, buckets are easy if you dont climb much and you got them down safe.
Since it was crappy and raining out all day, I started to work on some chip screens for the grinder. I made one last year out of osb, but it is kinda heavy. I decided to make some out of two laith frames then sandvich two pieces of hardware cloth between them. Three screens like the one in the picture will be hooked together with hinges so i can position them around the grinder.
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but does your grinder not have guard's?

I would of wraptored those but to me they look about 60 foot tall. the tallest one anyway. I'm in 90 foot daily over 100 foot fairly regular here is a 100 footer sure looks 40 foot taller than those to me :monkey:
Yeah, maybe its a big conspericy. The lift company probably gave me a 50' lift, that they slaped 80' stickers on and charged me for a 80 footer. lol. I rented a JLG 800s lift, and it was still about 10-15' short of the top. I had thought from memory they were around 75' tail when i looked at them, but realized when the lift was all the way up i still didnt have enough.

The trees look about 75 and of course when they say the boom is 80 feet they mean when its straight up in the air which, when doing tree work, is only good for jumping out of it.
But what I am, chopped liver? I could have saved you all that rigamaroll with the lifts, filled your ears with complaints, dissention, and vulgarity and clumb em right and proper while you stood around acting like a Rockerfeller.
But I would of took an elevator ride with my wraptor and talked **** to you from the other tree So together we would of had it done before the lift got to it
Although it rained, some, it was a beautiful day!
I was up in Laguna Niguel ,, it was raining so I called the guy's in San Diego and they said ain't no rain.
Cool,, it was a beautiful day!

You got that right. Working with big takedown companies there would have been two climbers and done by lunch, I'd be stressed to get my rope out of the way before someone notched the trunks. Scyamore loves a sharp chain and comes down easy. The dust is a little irritating though.
I am surprised your outfit doesn't have anything like this, aside from the tracks left from Jared's new Panzer they make the job a good bit better with any grinder.
