time warp...I forget these details sometimes..:D

All is well SOTC?

stay safe SOTC............:/:

I decide crane...have them look next. Super tight = AT crane. Sometimes truck crane access is no biggie. This rig has 130' power boom, jibbed out with counterweights to 180':\:....with great capacity.

I did OK....it was for friends:/: Thier kids have been playing under them for years, and they were about to build an addition which would have eliminated crane access........so I said now or never for me.

They were both alive but very decayed....Don't worry Burnham, I listened to the little voice inside, thats why I insisted on a crane. Someday maybe a spider lift will be a tag team to be ultra safe..........I would not have even considered roping anything outta those mofos'

50/70 ton. We did not put the counterweight s on so technically, 50. You can run the fulll 130' of power boom with out weights. This crane will get into very tight spots and has great capacity:)

The wood is hard but the trees usually hollow out at the base, and they get "polypore" cankers all over the trunk. I think there are some borers that affect them to. Great firewood, shatty trees

eyh...or aye...or eye...I get confused. Jus' yankin' your chain, ya crazy canuck....mini workin' for ya?

the pics that didn't load....from a couple of post earlier

That would have been a false sense of security. I would had to untie anyway, and with wind blowin the load around......i took my chances

stump of tree 2, butt log was total sponge., decayed down into root flare at the base. I was amazed it had not fallen over yet. Most Locust around here fall over before they get this big........I'm glad I didn't have to back the crane back out:O

more picks...It had a hidden co-dom, sealed together with IVy. So I added a camstrap at the bottom to hold the two together.....luckily it worked. last pick from ground was 5500. stump pic is locust #1...

with some weight out of the top I started to relax....despite I was freezing me arse off.....canadian clippers, they call em' here. Thanks Squisher:/:

first tree 4 picks, start off the second...........42"dbh, totally rotten at base.....i was skeered:O

todays crane job...........two very big and very decayed Locust. Both trunks were pretty skecthy. A little winter blast greated us with snow and 18 degrees, wind 10-15......damnit, they said it was gonna be 40 and sunny:X ....put on a happy face:D
