2 Oaks dismantled from the bucket

[BenDraper]

We take down two oak trees over two days, day 1, get the brush off and chipped, day 2, rig the wood and remove it... As always, we have wires, rooves and tight landing zones, but the owner is having a new driveway put in, hence the removal. Watch in 1080p

Just editing day 2, rigging of all the wood. Will upload when done.

Nice job, Ben!

Some good videos. Thanks for sharing.

 

[AxeTree]

nice videos all you need now is a bypass grapple for your mini would save a lotta of effort for the guy havign to help the wood stay in the bucket!

 

[BenDraper]

Yes! But that is a rental machine, they don't have a grapple

 

[AxeTree]

darn when you buy a loader dont waste your money on any thing nut a rotating grapple

 

[BenDraper]

But with a grapple, it wont lift as high as say a bucket? To load the trailer for instance...?

Nice vid and work. Everything's brand new except you and your crew. Do you own an arborist supply store or what?

 

[MisterSir]

Nice job! I love to see groundmen that have enough confidence to let a piece ride to the ground.

 

[BenDraper]

Ha boreality! Did you not hear that old 200? Its a dog. Yes, that job was the outing for some new gear, new Pulley, 5/8ths pink husky rope, and 1/2 forestry rope, and new sling. Had to have shiny stuff for you guys to look at

And our ms650 died the other week, so boss actually got us a 66! We still need a ground saw and a new climbing saw, but thats another story.

Mistersir, Cosby, my groundguy, is great, he is Mexican, but Ive worked with him 3 years now, and he knows the score. We have done some mental jobs together. Nothing like team work.

The other guy is new to us, he is keen, but old school, but he will get up to speed in no time.
