    We took a whole maple tree in one crane pick yesterday. We were next door picking apart an oak tree in bad shape when the neighbor came over asking if he could hire us to take out this maple that has been giving them problems due to its location. Its brances were intertwined so we decided to...

    Thanks. We bought it, it broke down on the 3rd job, and has been down since October. We are very glad to have it back. Experience is key there. We use pads and mats as seen in the pictures. In softer areas well bring in longer cribbing to help spread the load. Usually if its to wet to setup...

    I mean he did show up for work and mostly work. Hes naturally a bit goofy. He did the cone thing all on his own. I happened to have my phone in hand about to take a picture of the job site when he did this.
