I don't think anyone thought about it that hard.

…unless you have a 60” 3120… (overkill really, but…)

Went to see how the guys who got this job were doing. Pretty good at working limbs with gravity from a bucket but I think they need some help with felling the big stuff.

Line clearance Co.s are famous for that. I have one on my commute I need to take a pic of.

*all these more recent tree pics are not on the job, I’ll get more of those later. They are all 4-5-6’ DBH though. I’d really rather drop pines and such in the forest but here we go. Fun challenge anyway.

I should probably inspect these monsters with binos. Saw some fallen and not yet fallen “sky scrapers” the other day. The ugly dead claws scraping the sky bug me…wanna cut ‘em all. Hazards for sure. I don’t know who was smoking what. Line clearance maybe? But look at the dead monster in the...

Supposed to have a 50’ 10k Telehandler on site. With that and a basket I should be able to find and remove most hazards as well as install winch/pull cable/rope and or create lean/limb weight in the desired direction. Hopefully also piece down the southern leaner.

A forum buddy who is an accomplished trouble tree handler suggested this (after dynamite). Just run with what Nature made. It would drop some codoms in the road, but I’m supposed to have a ground crew with eqpt. They are a little high to reach from the ground but I figured maybe a platform of...

I think they are red river gum...but there are a lot of species of euc and I have not studied them down to the nitty gritty. I do know they are heck to split when you want them to! :-D The leaner will likely get pieced down from a bucket...need a taller one, it's about 100'.

Not to be a pest, but maybe @gf beranek , @Trains, @Bermy ? If y’all are so inclined.

Truck can do 12,000lb drawbar pull.

Southernmost- Need to pull this one 180° = north. Root ball is the dead 6’DBH that fell in the road. This one is 6’ DBH, need to drop RH N codom off first methinks, pull W into field away from road. Next two same tree, dead. E codom is bigger. Was thinking hook onto the smaller W one, wrap...

In the official work pics thread. I'll bring some more over later.

I have a few red gums to drop, 50-72" DBH. Most of the bigger ones run up 6-10' and then split up. No tight shots, just pull away from road. So, make cuts closer to the ground away from the codoms? Or is goofy root grain more of an issue? The larger and more leaning codoms I am planning to...
