Thanks Ekka, saved me from the boredom of report writing.

I was wondering what kind of guy was on the end of the brush!

Useful tool - unlike your brush handlers; Whats with the one piddly stick at a time method?! pile a tush and stick it under your arm...

nice vid. do you have a problem with the hydraulic lines wrapping around the grapple when it turns?

good job Ekka, those little grapples are handy aren't they? I like the whistle to signal rope pull. Was that a lemon gum / euc. citradora? I used to work on euc's in californa. Ireally miss the smell. but I don't miss climbing euc's that had been topped (crown restorations or at least attempts) Those things get tall and spindly! (I climbed some blue gums in a rivine that were 175 feet. While I was up one 125', we had an earthquake 4.6! The funny thing was that I never felt it!
