Bid that tree!

How many on the crew for 2 days? Doubt someone would bite on 10k, and doubt that company would get a referral after that quote.

Well it made us look like hero’s at least!

8 long dead spruce trees. Cut stumps ALAP, full cleanup. Good drop zones but home within reach on a few of them. Right next to the street.

~36" at the butt, roughly 80' tall

Really? Looks a lot smaller than that to me. Roughly same diameter as the propane tank?

Right on. $1500. Took longer than I thought picking up dead sticks and hauling debris

Ya over time and it takes a lifetime in my case, to remind myself how long the damned ol clean up takes on some of these trees! ;0)

BMG rake and the stihl 800 backpack blower will make quick work of those crispy clean ups.

I always spread tarps to cover the drop zone. My favorite was given to me by a landscaper friend when he replaced his pool cover. About $200 worth of tarps from Walmart would have sped up your clean up. I rarely rake anymore

It comes out on almost every job for me. I finally wore mine out after 4-5 years of use. Bristles were breaking and the wood was deteriorating from being out in the weather. I just replaced the tines last month and it's like brand new again.

Can you fell the remainder away from the shed? Looks like an unmanaged wasteland from this photo.

Not an option. Lots of nice habitat there for nature in protected land. Maybe the bole could be dropped through there, but there's a vine covered fence we have to dismantle to enter with loader and pull out , everything would have to go on this tree. Yesterday we just reduction pruned some end weight off the overextended limbs and cleaned up the broken pieces. Retain the asset I said to him. He was curious cost to remove i hit him with 4200 minimum . The Pic doesn't allow much of a view how far it goes out back over the woods. We could an take down an easy fence near where I'm shooting photo from mat in and k boom it out of there. The vines are the time killer on this beast , vines for miles on there

I’d seriously think about moving that little shed too if it were a removal. If you have forks on your machine would probably go just fine.

Hopefully i wont see this tree again for years lol but yeah great idea scooter

This is probably going to end up as a utility job, but hypothetically speaking....

7 poplar take down. The two outside ones are 30"-36", the inner ones are 18"-24". All roughly 80' tall.

All wood over 6" diameter stays. Yep, you read that right.

Very limited bucket access. Might be able to get a third or so of the two outside trees by using the customer's and neighbour's driveways. There is crane access, but no operator around here would pick that close to energized lines.

 

[Shadowscape]

Does the wood over 6" need to be cut up, if so, what size?
I see one 7,200 (or so) line, service drops and communication lines.

Does not need to be cut up. My thought was to limb up each tree, chip the brush, and move the smaller diameter wood to the perimeter along the fence so it's out of the way. Then go back and start taking down the bigger trunk wood.

There's no access for equipment so everything has to be moved by hand.
