Nice stuff. I love to have 2 climbers on a crane job. I like to be the sling setter and let someone else do the cutting. Makes for quick work on a big tree.
Agreed.
I would have liked to set the slings to make it go faster, but dudes gotta learn.
I was getting cold though.
We do that with those long horizontal limbs ..... way easy comparatively.

The good thing is no-one I work with has any idea how to set dead eye crane slings(formerly known as balancers). They are stuck on straps with big knuckle crushing shackles
Yup that is how the boss likes to do it, but I'd rather spend time with slings and take bigger pics assuming we have the room for it. And a few of the pics were pretty close to the roof so there wasn't much room for error.
I had to walk that guy through each piece which wasn't bad but there was a lot of video of me pointing and saying "no, not there, over there. no the other there!"

Look clean, no bad limb swings at all. Since you asked......the only thing I personallydid not like was the crane tie in point. I prefer something with a better bend radius, I would also prefer more meat around that hook maybe something like that Tree Stuff crane tie in sling or other beefy friction saver. Just my 2 cents since you asked.

Looked clean, nice work. Only thing that stuck out to me was the bend radius of his rope through the TIP on the crane. A bit too Sharp for my liking, but to each his own.

I get it man. That place is a candy store. That's the only upside to them being out of stock of a lot of goodies is you're a little more limited to how much you spend. Can't buy it if they don't have it! Don't skimp on safety though so buy the "treestuff crane thing" or make something on your own. Cheers!

Nice job, the friction saver from American arborist supply is one of the better ones out there, stamped and rated.
