Got a craner tomorrow which ain't no big shakes. But it is almost 3 in the morning, I am a bit of an insomniac anyway, but this a typical night before a subbed crane. I can get by day to day with some 200's and mid size saws but when I am paying a sub I go til I am satisfied with condition and have backups. Be a lot easier to just keep them that way but, hey I am a treeman. If I was always ready I'd be a Boyscout or something.

Put some new chain on, razor edged some others incl. rakers, de burred a few bars that needed and generally cleaned them out particularly filters. Woulda started earlier but had to go by a plywood road. My old stuff is worn out. Best thing bout this job is it right across the street from my house.

depends how much pressure you put on the cheater bar. just makes things easier. try it sometime. light pressure breaking and even lighter pressure tightening. I even use a skinnier one on the scrench sometimes. it is all about easy when you get old.

Last night I walked across the street and plugged in my block heater. It was worth it. About 22F this morning. I also picked up some 3/4 plywood. Was good to go this morning. Here are a few picts. Not the biggest removal I ever did by far but certainly not the smallest. About 110'

Quercus palustrus, (measured against my 70 foot Teco) POS, Pin oak. Crane arrived at 8:30 and left at 4:30. Just got the stump left tomorrow and Dingo the grindings into dump trailer. Routine job, no bragging here. I like to look at picts so I should show some sometimes.

the sequence of these picts are bass ackwards and I embedded some picts in a post I made. This is fun doing. Good day and I had a good enough number on the tree.
 
All the pictures get embedded on this forum. You just embedded a couple of them twice. No need to do that here. ;)
 
mo stick on the crane would have been no' betta..
did you "catch" the one top on the crane or did it flip?

Didn't feel the need to get outa the picker so I dropped (folded) the top and couple of laterals into the hook. I love that crane, me and it been thru a lotta stories together.
