The Walnut would have been nice... The palms did need your touch though... I am sure the pooch appreciate it

Finished off this big bigleaf maple which I spotted as cracked at the inclusion a few weeks ago. Part of yesterday and part of today. About 40-50" DBH by 100' give or take. The bucket didn't reach up that far into the crown, at all, so it was several big pieces, then working down the trunk. Made a habitat stump. Short enough not to cause problems of falling onto anything in the future, big enough to leave a cool stump after some weathering and moss growth. The park staff will maybe put some moss from the tree across the top to see if it will grow. Works sometimes. There is an older habitat stump of an aerial rooted hemlock that went away in the past. I like seeing old, weathered stumps in the woods. The more naturally occurring, or at least natural looking the better. Better than a flat cut at waist high.

Carl, that is one serious tree moving machine. Very impressive display of power.

Yeah, I've got to poison and then grind that stump out in the spring. The more wood gone without having to lift it meself the better! That fellow owns another more established tree service here in town. I find myself working with him quite a bit, he's my go to guy and vice versa. We split costs and profits, generally, unless its a no clean up job where I do the climbing. But, it is nice to have a guy on the ground and it sure comes in handy when we have some wood to move around.
Nice pics, all!
I want me a gehl!

Haven't laid the 540 over yet! Did the 340 once... 336 hours combined. I pretty regularly use the entirety of the lift height on the 540 it seems. Find myself thinking about a telescoping boom from time to time.

Carl, can that particular unit move a tow behind stump grinder around? Level ground of course.

My 340 does it just fine, can even grind with it on there. No trouble at all.
Do tell about a telescoping boom Carl haha.

I would imagine the whole row of them....
Got a break in the rain and hung on the clearing job for 3 hours and finished the corridoor we needed for the gray pine fell. That felt good. Hella pile of hot coals and ash. Went back up and pushed in and re-stacked the burn pile for the beetle infested grove. Burned 10 trees total plus when the renter cut of two poplars. Will be nice to see a check on that one. Final burn on that one tomorrow. Beetles never had a chance Cooked
Off to a burned out section of woods tomorrow to drop more crispy critters... Heads up!

The 540? Well put it this way. If I'm on the loader and my F250 is in the way, I pick up the rear of the truck with the grapple grabbing the pintle hitch and move it where I need to.

Carl, speaking of telescopic booms, have you heard of Schaeffer articulating wheel loaders? They have a telescopic boom. I think they are in Europe only though.
