Today....
We loaded up and hauled off a large Ash stump today. This tree got tipped over in a recent storm and landed on a house. It was right at the edge of a seawall and pushed the large retaining rocks into the water. We couldn't really grind it as part of it was sitting on top of the other seawall...- Fivepoints

Crane collapse during a tree removal:
We recently fell through an undisclosed septic tank. It was under a gravel driveway. It didnt hurt the truck at all and the homeowner ended up paying us to fill it in for them. We did cut them a deal on the cost since they were being super cool about it. She was not home when it happened and...- Fivepoints

Do you always wear your helmet?
I wear one most of the time. I will get out of the truck and get stuff out, sharpen or fuel saws, dig through rigging gear without it. Before the actual work begins I have it on. I dont always wear it raking. Its 100 degrees and 90 percent humidity here some of the time. I also wear shorts a lot...- Fivepoints

Today....
No goods or Hobbs. I've used a goods a lot and it wouldn't have moved this without some mechanical advantage. Also I was using 5/8 rope so that wouldn't work with the goods. Had it setup where there was 2 parts of line to the actual piece. I was going to do 3 parts of line but couldn't find my...- Fivepoints

Today....
Unfortunately not. We were a bit busy doing the haul itself. If I do it again, I'll try to get some better shots. I discovered I need another rigging prusik cord for attaching the block to the tail of the 5 to 1. I kept having to tie a bowline on a bite. I'd like to have a load cell so I could...- Fivepoints

Today....
I should have taken some better pictures but I setup a 20 to 1 mechanical advantage today to pick a large oak log off a building where we have no crane access. We had it rigged off an oak tree that also is coming down due to damage. Did a tie back to a good sized pine behind it. Had a 2 parts of...- Fivepoints

You'll want to take some degreaser and the water hose to it. Blowing it out with air wont get it all.- Fivepoints

Today....
Had to setup our 55 ton crane in a pretty sloped area last week so we could get a hickory tree that laid over into another hickory behind the house. We also had a chestnut oak in very bad shape we picked out.- Fivepoints
