Processing a 2400lb crane pick

Thought it would be interesting to watch the crew at work so I set the camera on a grave stone during a Pin Oak crane removal at the Frankfort Cemetery last summer. Video

Seemingly....eh?!!

What I wanna know is, where can I get a 200T that turns 30k rpm..

or a chuck and duck self feeder!!?

Nice!! How big a crew do you guys run now??

On this particular job we had four on the ground, one in the bucket/riding the ball and a great crane operator. On a normal day we normally have four or five of us on a job unless we split to grind stumps or do small jobs. Although I hate to say it, but we just had one helluva ground guy call it quits on us to pursue his own "non-tree related" business

Its definitely gonna be different without him

It's already different. He will be missed. To find someone with motivation and a good work ethic is almost impossible.

You said it Jeremy!!

We've been through two new groundies in the past few months. One quit without notice to go work a concrete job, and the other, I think just up and quit one day.

If you hired a guy to do tree work and he quit to do concrete work, he definitely was not meant to be. He'll be regretting his decision to quit tree work any day now

Quitters suck!! As for the ones that don't give notice. I don't have kind words for them....
