My little crane vid

[rockettree]

A short video of two small trees I removed last year. I had a gopro for a couple of months, but got rid of it because it was so time consuming! I got a kick out of seeing my work though, it's really a great training tool. I'm really new to crane work so this was a good job to dissect, I'm sure I'll get a few pointers from viewers on here!

It was an amazing, Colorado style, 60 degree day in the middle of January last year. We were supposed to remove four more trees that day but the neighbor flipped when we told her our plan. The trees were on the property line between her place and the soon to be developed lot we were working on. The building contractor didn't contact her, I love it when they leave it to us to tell people the good news!

Nice work brother man. I like the log loading part. I enjoy watching climbing and cutting but also enjoy seeing others parts of the job.

That Mack must make for a nice log truck, excellent visibility when working over the front

Yeah, that truck is great. It has a terrible right hand turning radius though! We have to very careful when planning routes.

 

[classictruckman]

Yep know all about that, not very maneuverable for a cabover

Like the crane picks and loader....Music not my taste but Im weird The crane op needs to not slack the cable so much when tipping that last log though. A slow rotation right before it touches the ground will do the same thing with out the whipping.
