We used Amherst 70 ton liebherr the other day, Jeff the op was fantastic, it crab walks and can get it in anywhere. The driveway was already toast but it didn’t even do any damage to it
Avant number 3 added to the arsenal, this things a beast! Barely broke a sweat lifting that 8’x36” pine onto the trailer. First day out with it and the guys are loving it
I think you should show a picture of how you guys have it setup and rope running through it, I have 5 porta wraps including 2 notch ones no problems with either.
Oh no I know you aren’t, i was just pointing out what works for me, and I’ve never advertised for climbers or employees in over 20 years, the guys I have are all awesome and know how to get things done safely and efficiently and are treated well. some how keep on showing back up every day :LOL...
I do 80% insurance/commercial work. 20% residential and not taking on any new customers, so I’m not worried about the economy tightening up, most of my equipment is paid for already. I have the luxury of both big equipment & very skilled individuals working for me. I get your points though.
We do large crane removals each and every day, most trees we do would take other companies more then a day to do manually climbing or rigging, moving and processing the debris, and we are usually done by 2. I’ve been doing tree work for 30 years now, I’ve seen first hand what working...
Yep 100% I’ve had lots of ex climbers go out and do that, many are crippled up pogey collectors now, ruined their bodies and they aren’t even over 40, the old I don’t need equipment to do this like you, caveman mentality. We rarely go home physically tired, work smarter not harder, I’m in this...

That chipper & senobogen is brand new to them probably under 50 hours. It’s a beast 21 XP. It likely happened so so fast, the feed wheels and power that thing has is crazy. Feeding the chipper ash tree tops with it as well, I’m sure once the MOL investigation is done more info will be...
My solution, I do have 3 great employees & climbers but this the main means of removal for us, my other crane and the avants make quick work out of things. No drama queens on my crews. Finding a good climber around our parts isn‘t easy, I also have a good network of contract climbers / friends...
