    Why Is It So Expensive to Cut Down a Tree?

    I saw that video last night. He makes a few good points But I felt the majority was unsubstantiated. There are a lot of claims with no evidence, simply - “ I feel this way”. I’ll admit I couldn’t finish it. I think perhaps he has not been around enough legitimate tree companies with big iron to...

    Light 14 or 16" narrow kerf bar for 200t or 201t

    The Oregon speed cut nano is good, but durability goes down and filing that chain is more tedious in my opinion

    Bid that tree!

    I know the photo doesn’t do it justice, wide angle lense is great for fitting the whole tree in the frame but awful for showing scale

    Bid that tree!

    I was thinking it was a 4-6k tree.. it’s not really a difficult removal, with ample space to work and plenty of room between the big limbs and the roof but gawd it’s a girthy trunk and plenty to deal with.

    Sycamore and Elm climbing.

    I second that Tight unions on the elms can be a real problem, but American, red, etc elms are super strong and bendy, small TIPs are ok with me. Siberian, Chinese elms are less reliable. Elms tend to be super fibrous and good hinging wood, so cutting and rigging with them has its advantages and...
