Merle, I opened the grapples a bit above the ground, squeeze and loosen the first x inches deep. Open again, lower, squeeze. Reach around on the far side, rinse, repeat. A chain around the base of the post, hook on grapple. Pull up, pull back gently to rock the post, then push with the boom a little, lift out. The homeowner will need to post hole dig a new hole to reset. In this case, he will maybe even expand his fenced area, post cottonwood removals.

I think I got a double post in the wrong thread. Technology!

I miss a good old pine TD...

I'm still in Melbourne. Amazing city.
Midland bid some prices lower than we were doing them for and that was a 7 year old contract!!
Hopefully it's biting them on the ass

I feel sorry for the guys who work for them, pressure, pressure, the street tree, high pollards must be a nightmare!

Melbourne sounds great, are you employed or running your own thing?

No sap is nice

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Actually, these have pitch oozing out all over...... beetle holes

Took the boy on the job, time to start paying him a bit, got him roping down logs.
Few more from a recent cottonwood job. Less than kosher hydraulic spring board....and cutting rounds to fit down the side of the house

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Most awesome
Had Mikes boy out with us today tending fires and lopping brush

 

[sotc]

Didn't have the spring board in the last round. Some pics won't up load for whatever reason

 

[FireFighterZero]

Looks reasonable to me.

 

[Peter]

I used the same kind of springboard last week. No pics though, it was dark and my groundie had already gone home......

 

[SouthSoundTree-]

I thought that was regulation...

[Bixler]

Ha! Nice August!

Good to hear you have the young lad working Willie, it almost make me want kids... almost.

 

[sotc]

Brian, kids are the hardest but coolest thing I've ever done. I doubt you'd regret it when the time is right!

 

[August Hunicke]

AMEN, Willie.
It's meant to be that way, a great honor to take part in LIFE.

[Raj]

Kids become teenagers..... then look out! whoa!

 

[CurSedVoyce]

True true.... Seth has the attitude down already at 12..

 

[Raj]

Mine ran away at 15, he didn't like the concept of working. He's with his mom on welfare.

 

[Limbrat]

Been blessed with two gooduns. My son will be a full-fledged Pharmacist in a few months and daughter is a Dental Hygienist. My son has run the ropes many times and is pretty sharp. I've never lost a minute's sleep worrying about either one. They were both home schooled and were way ahead of the pack when they got to college.
