It’s amazing how much a crane can speed things up sometimes, I think our record in one day was 18 multi-stem White pines. They were all in a row, very close together, so we were able to pick five or six from each set up, and we had a nice flat driveway to work off. We were taking 60 to 80 foot long picks, which was easy work for the climber in the air, but sure kept the ground crew busy. It looks like a nice set up you have there, that crane looks a little small for what I am used to though, about 18 tons I’m guessing?My 3rd crane job, this time I used 90' crane. 7 big Douglas-Fir in 9 hours. What a job. Some of those trees would have taken me a whole day by themselves! Also debut of the bmg rake and scoops, did a good job with final cleanup.

Employees are hard to come by. I had a friend come help me for the fall so I could a contract done, but she's here for a good time not a long time. We'll see how next year pans out for staff. I'm looking at my numbers and considering whether I can get into a bucket truck.
Not sure the tonnage, I hired a crane op. 90' crane,
You must keep your local debris collectors in business single-handedly, as much as you do in the neighborhood!
hey man good work How'd you get this piece down ?Slacked off the MA, then Sven got on the lower roof with me, caught a few chunks and walked em down the ladder. Once past the eve, we retensioned, set a porty up top off a ladder and took another 3' chunk on rope( cut made from roof not ladder! )
I like it a lot! If you press the "boost" it about the same power as the small echo gas blower with none of the carb headache- fine for driveway cleanup which is where we mostly use blowers.
That's sounds like fun....;') I'm glad we don't have to pull that rabbit out the hat too often anymore..But I'm all about being resourceful as possible to get shit done , safe.
