    542i XP, brand new, in the box.

    I bought it directly from Husky's website... and screwed up. First, somehow two saws ended up in my cart... $50 apart. Me, a cheapskate, ordered the cheaper one, failing to notice the missing "T" in order info. I got it for Skot Chapple, who those of you that were involved in Jer's 2003 Tree...

    Alpine Magnum for sale

    Lightly used, but bought directly from Keith at Alpine Machine in Wa. State circa 2008-ish It's paired with a Husqvarna 3120 Keith thinks it might be worth about $1500-1800.... The saw I'd say is worth maybe $600 at the very least. No pics at the moment. I'd have3 to dig through my photo...

    A couple of little uprooted lodgepole pines

    A couple small lodgepole pines uprooted in the 10/14 wind storm. Steep driveway meant no crane access. Luckily, there was a well placed pine behind the failures large enough to use for rigging, but kind of small, so we didn't attach the GRCS . Instead, 5-1 mechanical advantage from a set of...

    Yet again, more Lombardy Poplars.....

    Removal of two large poplar, plus a few "sprouts", which ranged from 10 inches in diameter to 20 and up to 70 feet tall or so. Day one produced two full loads of chips--about 36 yards... We will have Marilyn's Recycle pick the junky wood with their grapple truck.. and they can grab the butts, so...

    Craning some tall beasts

    Craning of a cedar, tall but small fir, and a behemoth--150 feet tall, which produced over 2600 board feet! About 1000 board feet more than I guessed. We dropped the butt log, with the self loader nudging it, to save crane time and due to the weight, which had to have been close to 10000 lb. It...

    Sad news, the Lake Quinault Cedar has fallen

    The Lake Quinault Redcedar, the world's largest, and the largest tree outside of California, has fallen. I visited it June 5 and it appears to have failed--to a 20 foot tall stump, sometime after July 7. See http://northcoastnews.com/…/quinault-big-cedar-has-fallen-t… It's failure has been...

    Olympic Mountains Loop Trip

    Mike Oxman told me about a Stihl Timbersports Qualifier event in Shelton..called me Friday, the event was Saturday. Knowing he has visited the Olympic many times, even led tree climbing expeditions there, I suggested we head to the rain forest afterwards. Hard to believe I had never visited any...

    Another leaning cottonwood.....

    Partially uprooted, actually--a perfect fit for the GRCS --and chipper winch. I love hanging trees and cutting them off at the butt. This one was only about 18 inches on the butt and 60 feet tall.... And the Wraptor powered ascender made for an effortless ascent into the ivy covered cottonwood...

    Big DED killed elm coming up

    We got the job.... but service to three houses needs to be dropped or rerouted. Ness Crane will supply their 55 ton truck mount unit. But City Light informed me that they would need $4000 to drop the lines, if they showed up at 7 am, and restrung them sometime after 4 pm. So I asked them what...

    Small pines -ornamental pruning

    They took up most of my Friday. I'd not be surprised if, between my Okatsune hand pruners, Corona loppers, Silky Zubat hand saw and pole saw, and Marvin pole pruner, I made over 1000 cuts---per tree...what a job! But they now look great. though almost totally lacking any interior foliage. I've...

    A big cottonwood (and more) comes down

    Pat, who has worked for and with me for quite some time, has his own biz now, Westside Tree Care. He needs me, my crew and chipper for some of his jobs. The job entailed removing a cottonwood with a maple growing nearly together and two more maples. These were normal sized trees, 24-30" dbh and...

    Big tough fir.... from 2005

    Better late than never, eh?! 8.5 years after we did this job, I finally edit and publish a video. It was a large, appx 44' dbh dead /douglas-fir, in extremely close quarters. Only a three foot wide space to work in. We utilized three lowering devices, the GRCS, Hobbs, and PortaWrap, and used...

    Bird images and more

    Here's some shots from yesterday..a couple are of my neighbor's crimson king maple just leafing out as it flowers. My other neighbor has a common norway. This tree and another common norway grew as seeds from the older tree, I think. Odd that the smallest one is the nice colored tree. The rest...

    3rd Annual Bainbridge Island Open Masters - 2014!

    Thanks to Katy Bigelow for organizing this great and fun event. And to all who helped. The climb was in a 150-160 foot fir, and a large maple. Teams of two, random draw, climbed at the same time, one in each tree, with the goal of tagging as many stations as possible. Each tree had an access...

    9 foot plus poplar comes down!!

    Huge poplar being removed by Seattle Tree Preservation. Some vid from yesterday, day 4 of probably 5, plus stump grinding! Wow! 2nd costliest removal I've ever heard of. #1 was a 35k tree in New Zealand years ago. They rent my 13 hp ported 3120 now and then. I brought it over, and stuck...
