Big ass tree!!!

Amazing that they get so big.
You are not so much further south from me.
Here we may have 2 that size, in botanical gardens.

Grow like weeds here, the French love to plant them in small gardens. I like working on them, nice snappy branches that drop flat, easy for the chipper, I've a very large pile of large trunk wood in my field though, have to sort that out.....

24" beech removal AKA "the fishing pole". Working for a living this week.

 

[BIGTWIG]

Looks fairly miserable out there, 802. Good job getting the tree down safe.

Did you get the whole top with the bucket?

We were lucky to catch the first cold snap of the year, job down in Buffalo, WY. -10 to -20 degrees all week. Even brought our crane down. Which costs the same to travel 12 hours round trip as to pay the oil patch crane prices. Very cool jobsite and customer. Just tough weather. Our hands kept freezing up, saws cut terrible, chipper lacked a lot of power at the feed wheel.

We had to clean up a hacker's mistake. He dropped a tree on the corral. He was lucky he didn't get killed. I could post a picture of how we think did it, but it would degrade this thread.

We then had to remove two hazard trees that should have been cut down 5-10 years ago. We climbed off the crane and bombed limbs for one, and picked another down in 3 pieces.

Then some deadwooding in the grove. Cottonwoods that are 120-130 years old and all 90-110ft tall.

one tree to remove



Next tree to remove, about 95' tall, over the corral and very hollow



lonniels cutting. Too bad my phone wasn't taking good pictures.Again, VERY COLD.






Now cutting the hollow tree, middle pick, 5,000 pounds.

[Bixler]

Massive log that chipper can take, what's the capacity of that beast BIGWIG? Great pics too

 

[BIGTWIG]

Thanks guys! Bandit rates it at 19" I think. It might do a little more if you get western with the crush lever.

 

[mastermind7864]

Great pics men.

I've enjoyed catching up.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Good stuff for sure
Crud that looks cold up there in Montana.. Brrrrrr

 

[MasterBlaster]

Did you get the whole top with the bucket?

This! Did you???

 

[Mick!]

I'm amazed how you guys keep going in that weather, those sort of temperatures come here once a decade for a week so no one leaves the house.

 

[cory]

Too cold for me, too.

Nice pics, all. What size crane, BIGTWIG?

 

[BIGTWIG]

30T national. Great crane, very capable.
