California Hillbilly
I had this respectable interior live oak to do on my books from a couple months ago. We got rained out and then the HO's were out of town. Our day care provider, her hubby, brother in law and dad we do a lot of stuff for in trade and some cash. Day care is expensive and the hubby will do some welding and projects I need done as well. BIL does auto body work. Nice little arrangement.
This tree has lost two large leaders over the years, one this year smashing the fence. Some of it had to be rigged out. Ant infested. Pretty maple and some red bud, a shack etc targets so it could not all get bombed. Wraptor came in handy. 6.5 hours. Gravel drive, HO assisted clean up with a tractor and it was a burn day.
Some fodder.....
Might be more HO fodder as well so I figured start a thread
Wraptored up one side and then the next stripping out the center to place a zipline through the space between codoms to line out the brush away from the maple, fence and house.. Little to no LZ in the front yard. Better the other way and into the turn around.
Do a little low stuff on each codom to allow for some cutting & pitching as well. I hade to separate the oak and the Maple with some Silky work.
Zip lined that rear side out.... Then swung that log the other way into the turnaround..
Then it was time to fell tops, bomb wood and some rope catching and swinging off blocks. Just to land the tops where we wanted so the tractor could just push the material away about as fast as it landed.
