I didn't realize there was some more added to this thread.

Awesome Tree of Heaven! I haven't seen one that large before. That stuff sort of smells like peanut butter...

What was the weight of the trunk pick Mike?

We gotta see some pics or videos of your 150 tonner too!

 

[MikePoor]

Hey Jamin hows it goin'? Both 55 ton & 175 ton running all the time. I put those photos up a "while" ago....but i wont put up any unless i think buzzers really might want to see them. did this Catalpa last week

 

[MikePoor]

2 of the last 3 stems had cracks all the way through. the one over the house has failed & is resting on the roof & skylight

Spiderlegs lifted and held

[MikePoor]

Did i mention the trunk might be....mmmnnnn...just a little HOLLOW! (could have cut it w/ ms200)

Nice pics of picks. I doubt anyone gave you grief from removing that once they saw it up close. Thanks for posting.

Man, the fisheye is the way to go for tree work pics, huh? nice photos, Mike.

Great pic(k)s, post more, Mike!!

Mike, does your truck dump or do you pick the pieces out of the back?

 

[MikePoor]

Hey Cory how are Ya'? The bed dumps (I think there is a pic of it dumping somewhere in this post) Thanks I'll try to post some more soon.

 

[cory]

Yeah, do it Mike! This is a great thread.

Quick question: Why don't Kbooms need to be level to use, unlike stickbooms which must be leveled??
