Yup, for a smart asz too.... no pics of me, though.....

I saved the 44 mb .wmv file in Moviemaker the first 2-3 clips were accidentally shot at 160x120, the rest at 640x480.....that's my Canon A650, with grunge inside the lens..... Had the LZ been much smaller, we would have really needed to use a crane. Customer was OK with lawn damage, to save...

Still trying to load on YouTube, but it "took" on Vimeo: <object width="400" height="300"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie"...

No, Gord... I'm having internet troubles or YouTube or both, trying to get the video online......

We did the tree Thursday, with 3 hours Friday to drop the last 25 feet, buck wood, and rake up.....20 yards of chips, maybe 6-8 cords of wood..... Dave is an animal. He did all the climbing the first day, and kept three of us busy as bees...I was able to grab the camera a few times..... It...

Ya'll are forgetting that my firewood guy will handle the wood.... Only problem with this tree is it will be tedious, with so many individual limbs to lower...or toss some that are small. There are plenty of low ball outfits here that would have been capable of doing this job (possibly)...

I had bid $4000, plus or minus $500. Customer just gave us the job at $3500-3800....... I'm good with that.....we just may do it without the crane.....as I know it will work. We did a 140 foot 56" dbh lombardy poplar today in about 6 hours, for $2300 cash, houses on either side 12-15 feet...

sure, from the top down, but, as I said, much of the low stuff is easy, just like the job we did Thursday. Much more cost effective to save crane time, at $165 per hr....plus, there's no need to crane the lower 20 feet of wood (which has some branches on it) to further save crane time.

I don't think height's an issue, as the tree base is several feet below street level, and it's likely under 95 feet anyhow. Crane would be parked sideways to the tree, on street and pk strip and outriggers just inside the sidewalk. Can you explain your meaning "don't use a truck mount", please?

Because much of the lower stuff is too small to be craning. So it'll go relatively quickly. That's the way we did 2 maples last Thursday. Took an hour with a climber in each tree to do about 15 limbs, that would have required maybe 10 crane picks. Then the two trees required 16-20 picks total...

The DZ behind the house is small. Out front, where the crane would set up, we've got scads of room. We could crane it out in 12-15 picks, maybe leaving the bottom 20 feet to firewood down. 4 hours of craning. Should be enough $ left over for labor. That said, the work is mainly tedious and...

Agreed, Butch. You guys talking of minis...there's no need for one...the drag is only a few feet to the wide gate. There's no need to deal with the wood.....just keep it out of the drop zone. and if we crane it, it would be easy to cut up. Plus, the firewood guy has a chain saw. And as there's...

I think we could pull it off in one....if the crane company doesn't mind showing up at 11 am...we could have all the lower stuff brushed by then.

65-70'.....but no need to lift anything over 3000 lb.... this is the load chart for Image's crane...I don'tknow which model it is.....the S might work if we kept the loads to ~2500 lb, but the SHL has a much better chart. http://www.allcraneloadcharts.com/LoadChartPDFHandler.ashx?PDFID=221

As Brian said, your lift would take up half the drop zone. And, what your working height? As for us, we have an allstar crew.... I do hope we get the job,and that Image Crane can help.

85-90, could be 95....

spot on, bro! She's a tedious one, fo sho....even with a crane, we'd need to rig out alot of the lower smaller stuff...to keep within my bid (which has a plus or minus $500 range), we'd need to keep the total crane bill at 7 hours---4.5 working, 2.5 travel and set-up. $165/hr for a 38 ton with...

yup, about 48" I don't have to mess with the wood, that's what my firewood guy is for.... The work zone back there is too small for your spider, I'm sure. it's maybe 35 feet square, if that. The corners of the house and garage will have to be protected, and maybe the post that's kinda in the...
