Re: 44\" Bur Oak removal

Awesome! The entire crew did a great job! How much did those big picks weigh again?

Re: 44\" Bur Oak removal

The last 2 picks weighed in at 5000lbs each

Re: 44\" Bur Oak removal

do i see one of those cobra cables in the tree? it seems like there is cable system of some sort in the first photo. a rather big section of included bark was trying to be suppoerted by a thin limb. anyway the photos look like it was a fun day. like the crane has the ability to do, make our days fun. that is a nice crane.

Awesome pics, and I loved how the neighbors weren't kind enough to move their vans and cars in the driveway to make life a little bit easier.

Re: 44\" Bur Oak removal

has no one else seen this cable system in the first four or five pics? someone has to know who installed these failing systems.

Re: 44\" Bur Oak removal

No support systems in this tree. The lines visible in the photos are communication wires. Tophopper can tell us for sure.

Re: 44\" Bur Oak removal

Actually there was a cobra installed in the tree, and its barely visible in the first few pics. It was installed by another company, which I wont name here for obvious reasons. If you look closely you can see very small inside limb it ripped out when it failed. We had a good chuckle about how they expected a little limb like that to support 1/2 of the tree. I dont think 10 or 15 cobra would have held that tree together.

I thought for sure that would of held John,

Oh Well, my bad!

How was working with the Jib on. Anytime I have done that it was always a exact pic as far as weight. Nice Job and quite the exposure for the company,I would guess.
