Ditto, almost like Christmas .... Sugar pine is nice as well.

It is something that concerns me Dave, I will be changing over to some other tending set up in the near future. Rainy day project....

I had a pinto pulley and useed a biner for a link. Now I have a DMM Bat rigging plate. 3 connection points for Ddrt and Wraptor. Or M config. And I do not use an over the shoulder thing for my HH. I tether the bat plate to the double handled ascender. It advances fine in this fashion.

YVW... :)

The other consideration was that this was a HO clean up. This tree would have been up in the air on legs and would been more dangerous to get the trunk on the ground being "tripoded". The limbs were thick enough to support the trunk. Bad game plan.

Too wide and the lean and weight were toward the house. The lower part of the tree would have smacked the stairs, the upper part, a Toyon (shrub) they wanted untouched.

Especially after a rain.... It had rained a couple days before. About 3" over a couple days. The limbs went from an easy snap cut to stringy and heavy as all get out. God only knows how many 100s of gallons of water they drank that quick. But it was like night and day they way the wood behaved...

On a Humboldt, that would be a top cut ;) Used conventional on this one.. But I can cut top or bottom first, either way. I prefer the horizontal (gun?) first though. Brian... I love it when I see the good camera come out at the site and the HO snapping away. I keep files from all our jobs...

How low can you go? :lol: Does it mean I have to do it with my 200? :lol: Or can I just slap an 18" bar on the 044?

Customer got some good sequence of the felling.....

Tree had been topped and made into an antenna mast years ago. Thus the really fat limbs. Some of the fat limbs we lowered were over 1K. Left a few legs at the top to keep the trunk from rolling down a slight hill when I felled it.

Katy helped me with speed line and lowering. Rob had to tension the line from about 200 feet away, best anchor and road we could find. Then Rob just kept moving material with the Dingo's help :D

That last one made the WesSpur news letter this month :D Sorry these are out of order. They were kind of weird to edit.

HOs we did a couple pines for sent these to us from a while back. They just live right behind us, so we had a family day killing some pine. Guy had a nice camera and I had to down size them a bit to fit in here. Enjoy.. Was a great fall day :)
