dead pine vid.

[Rocks_and_Trees]

Did this job a few days ago. The tree declined and died over a short period of time. Most of the tree was still viable so no worries tying in. Only an hour of memory so only got the first part of the removal. We got the crane work done in 2 hrs. 90 ton crane, a bit over 100 feet from the curb. Had a limit of 8000 lbs, last pick was 7800 lbs. Video is 6 minutes.

Well done! Smooth. That's great capacity at 100', how heavy was the biggest brush pick?

Nice work Andy! I also like how you can see that the crane operator was patient with the picks.

Thanks Jamin. It helps when you've worked with each other before. Tom's one of the best.

Very good R&T, weather looked ideal also.

Couple of things:

Video seemed to end a little prematurely, run out of battery or something?

Also, I would never keep hauling myself up that rope so long as I had spikes on....do you ever throw your flipline around and just walk up? It's not a criticism or anything, just don’t want you working harder than you have to.

Thanks Reg. I was using the HC to get up a little higher into some smaller wood I could spike more comfortably. I really only hipthrusted 20 feet or so before I set in.

Also, only had a 2gig card, so only an hour or so of footage. Too bad, I was hoping I had the last pick on there. Oh well, I'll keep tryin. Any advice is always appreciated.
