    A Festivus for the Rest of Us

    I’ve been asked to talk at our company Christmas party tonight. I don’t think my boss has a clue as to what holiday it is. Let the “airing of grievances” begin

    @Treezybreez I like that attitude. I take a lot of pride in minimal to no damage removals even when it’s not called for. I prefer to have the guy grinding the stump do more damage than I do.

    After sticker stacking ash slabs like this I have more respect for you @rico. Not that I didn’t before but damn are these things hefty. In three years if they don’t lighten up I won’t have to anchor my splicing table/ work bench to the wall and floor. And my dinner table will have to have the...

    Throw line. It’s awesome some days, other days it’s my nemesis. 3 hand tosses and then 3 big shot launches. If that doesn’t work I get mad and drink some coffee. I’m drinking less coffee lately but I’m sure I’ll be back to a pot before long

    Renting a treemek for the first time

    I prefer to let the op know it’s all his and gently push the cut piece away from me. It’s might be me but I love to hand pillows to the crane

    Downgrading from a Grapple Saw Truck

    I could see it. Less stress, less work, and a lot lower liability. I sold my bucket truck this summer and would honestly just like to do stump grinding plus clean up and restoration. All done with machinery with very little labor involved. This is for my side work though. M-F I get my fill of...

    It will probably suck but you could pull it back out and redo the final bury again.

    Lift for crane removals.

    I could see a spider lift being beneficial. A few of my competitors use them for crane work a lot. We just run buckets. I find those to get in the way and I’m better off climbing the removal with a crane.

    Not to sure but the orange looks like aculine. The yellow I don’t believe to be zing it. Looks to heavy for that. Not sure on any of them really

    Second one I’ve heard of lately as well Jonny. That’s a garbage weld. Hopefully this gets back to quality control.

    Standing Pieces Up

    Yes and no. Depends on the climber and operator. If you’re new to crane work stick to static picks. You really don’t want the piece to move at all till you tell the op it’s all his. As I said before, we stay well with in the load chart. Think about a pin oak with a hundred limbs that need to...

    Not terrible for my third attempt. Two last night were pretty bad but I was a bit intoxicated. Just playing with scraps for a bit. Been two years since I took the Fids and fibers class. I know I mucked up the eye size a bit and my crossover is prolly a bit off
