This pick shows the need for two chokers opposed. Mike only owns one 25 footer...2 30's would be better!
Mike deftly swung it away from the garage...and not into the shrubbery on the other side. It was heavy, maybe 7000 pounds.
I'd thought it would have been better to have cut it one foot lower, but only in consideration of how much the butt was going to weigh. Glad it was cut where it was, it appears! However, the butt was a bit heavy and Mike had to scoot it along the ground to get it closer, then nimbly hoisted it over the house.

Close quarters, eh?! As you can see, only a crane like Mike's would fit--plenty of room for the front outriggers, only 20 feet for the back, but his rear outriggers only extend out 3 feet.
Bye bye poplar!!
Left to right, the customer Herb, looking happy (other than hidden worries about his bank account---all he did was cut some roots, now he's some $20000 poorer when all is finished....trucking..stumps, relandscaping-he's footing that whole bill, apparantly.) Mickey, and the superstar, err cowboy.
That's all!! Well, till I get after the video editing.......
