Nice work Dunn! How many yards of chips did you get off that guy??
I find a top handle saw to be inefficient for most crane work. I always seemed to be cutting around max bar length... Switched to taking a 26 into the tree right of the start and would never go back. Been a year or 2 since I...

"I am not efficient enough to have been faster on this particular job with a crane. I lowered pieces the size I would have picked."
Even if your taking a small crane pick say 1000lbs? You aren't roping pieces out the size of crane picks... not even half the size of a normal crane pick... Its...
