A characteristically dismal day in NE Ohio. This large Oak tree was almost entirely dead, or in decline. Most of the tree was rigged out to limit the damage to the lawn and surrounding landscape.
The chipper truck could not be put in the drive way due to excessive ice and weather conditions. For the large pieces that were rigged out, the chipper winch was used to float the material from the plum point under the rigging to the chipper 50-60' away.
The rigging point, interesting enough was placed at the top of what as actually the lowest limb on the tree. All rigging done with Pinto RIG pulley and Portawrap.
At the end of the day we had to remove a small tree all the way at the top of the drive. Luckily the 150' winch cable just reached and we were able to use the winch to assist in pulling the truck backwards up the driveway as well as provide additional holding power for driving back down the grade with a full load of chips.
