Love that country music... with bucket!

V. wilt on that first tree (Norway?? maple). More of the same work on that one next year.

Didn't watch whole vid as got to get in a workout. Little thought...sometimes that 2 hand stuff is more dangerous than the 1 handing as you leave stuff constantly on the verge of falling off unexpectedly and it can surprise the gm, top fall back into ya (especially if you are putting the saw away and hands tied up), deflect with no warning if gm loses patience watching, etc. Just 02 cents.

Good stuff treevet. You could make one hell of a time-lapse vid with that setup... just planting the seed.

damn, you guys need a bigger boat (I mean saw) for that one. Nice vid and job, but wait til you get a crane. Won't take 4 days I bet.

Nice to have a bucket on hand. I dont use it much but when i do its a dream

Heres that spider you posted a video of bix. It died a painful death.

I wasnt there but a friend cleaned it off the house for them. Looks like they cut right through the hinge wood by the piece i saw at his yard. Pulling by hand a monster top from what i understand.

Ouch, crazy pics... hope no one was hurt, geez.

Those spider lifts can't take much of a direct impact.

Holy crap! I know what Brian said, you have to know your cuts and no the spider lifts or anything for that matter should and won't take a direct hit! That's just inexperience, misuse and plain retarded!
