Nice job, the only bad thing about it was the shackle turned around the wrong way on the last pick.

Actually Rob....
if you want to play like that..
there were a couple of occasions where the chipper was getting fed while the operator was wearing chaps, and one where a climber was wearing his saddle w/ loose lanyards etc.. Both are safety violations... "thou shalt not wear loose fitting clothing while feeding a chipper"..
What do they say about glass houses and the log in your own eye??? So I AM not bitchn', 'bout the work... just about your attitude Rob
It was a great video.. well put together, great professionalism and a nice touch of the clients perspective, which gave it a litle more flavor than you average crane removal vid...

Oh good catch Daniel.
I can see now, from my glass house, that I was wrong to ever comment on all the times you don't wear PPE, one hand saws, smash up trees, and yank the sh!t out of rigging ropes. Clearly safety is FIRST for you!
Sorry about the mixup. I couldn't hear you from my weekend warrioring.

That's right...
when I one hand saws, yank on pull lines, rig bigger pieces that approach SWL of the lines used, and "brush" other trees, it is safer for me and the co-workers...
No excuse for lack of PPE.. Should be ATGATT...
ps I was refering to myself, with the glass house reference..

How bout everybody needs to check themselfs and their attitudes. If you guys wanna bitch back and forth at each other, why dont you meet at the flag pole after school and get on with it.

The schoolyard analogy is bang on. In fact the only reason I kick Daniel is because I'm secretely in love with him.

Nice video and job Steven.
I'm not sure about having two guys in the tree, although Ive never actually done it.
Does the slinger descend to the ground each time, and then wait there until being picked up again? Thanks

I would think your right here Reg. That's what I was thinking when I watched the video.

That's a good question Reg. I wasn't on site for that job, but I might guess that the spread of the tree and the species (very weak wood, prone to breakage) factored in on the game plan. Also, I think the tightness of the LZ could have made the turnarounds slow to begin with.
The climber in the tree is Cristino Flores. He has been climbing for Heartwood since 1992. Words can't describe this man's love for the craft of treecare and the hugeness of his heart (you will rarely catch him without a smile on his face). I can say with certainty that the game plan he and Andre, the boom truck operator, came up with was the most efficient for the job. Three man crew, plus the boom, I think they were there for about 4 hours. I put a bare bones price on the job because the client was kin to one of Heartwood's own. It still came in right on time, without any damages or drama.
I would hope that maybe someone else from Heartwood might be able to chime in and weigh in on S.O.P for crane/boom removals and number of climbers/riggers.

It was just the above question really Steven, or perhaps someone else can answer who does does similar?

Yes Reg,
It can work well, especially on trees with a good spread.. lots of long horizontal limbs... Climber can often sit in the center of the tree or stay in the bucket, to make the cuts, while pretty much anyone that has a rope and saddle can ascend on the hook and quickly descend before each cut.
Really depends on the tree, if its going to be faster to use a second man to ride and descend, and the skill of the main climber. The best climbers I know, do it all themselves though..

It depends on the tree species, spread, location and what the cranes radius is. On certain trees, I use a cutter and a choker setter. After the wood has been secured (choked, tied), the choker setter descends to the ground, pulls out the climbing line, bags it up and gets ready for the next hoist. It has to be the most efficient way of removing the tree, and was hopefully bid accordingly. Some climbers will use it as a "crutch", or a 'lazy way' of getting it done. You're using a valuable resource that could be helping chip wood. The thing to consider is, the height of the ball, making sure there is plenty of climbing line to get to the ground. For most trees in NE Illinois, a 150' climbing line is suffice. For choker setting, we had 200' and 300' climbing lines.
On large spread trees, that are NOT bucket accessible, that's what I prefer to do. It saves the cutter time climbing around, going up & down, resetting the climbing line, etc.
