Silver Maples!

[bwktreeserv]

Hey all,

Any real good tricks for fully rigged (no cut and chuck) broad crowned Silver Maple removals? Ive done plenty of them and they seem to always be a pain in the butt with so many long leaders but not a lot of good high tie-ins or good central high rigging points. Thought maybe some of you all had some tricks in your back pocket you would like to share. I've got one coming up about 5' DBH, 80 plus tall and almost as wide. More long spindly leaders than I can count. It's a referral so i'm not scraping on the bid or anything I am just SO busy right now I don't want to be there for to long. Oh, and its not really crane or bucket accessible. Thanks!

Floating rig point maybe?

Like TL points out, surrounding trees create opportunities as you probably know; floating rig point or rigging from one or two taller rigging points. If there are none, sounds like you need to order a couple XRRs, spread the load out and videotape for the rest of us.

Lets see some before pics include targets and access. How do you plan to dispose of the byproducts.
