the guy said...

Other times they cut it up into pieces small enough to lift with several guys and hand loaded the whole thing. We are low tech/old school people. Once we rented a loader. I don't know exactly how this one might be done; we can drive a pickup or bobcat back there.

You havent a clue how its to be done, but you bid 9K. If there really is no equipment access, even a skid steer thats awfully low.

Whats the closest in feet you could potentially put a crane? 50'? 100? 200'? 100,000,000,000,000'???

I remember you from earlier in the year.........
 
I shouldn't have said no crane access; I guess it might be done but we've never used one before. the street is narrow. there is a tree out front.
 
I never said we don't have a clue as to how it might be done.
Don;t put words in my mouth! Get off my post if your going to be a $%@#$^%@#$.

I'm not in charge, I don;t do the bid, I just go along and do what I can to help.
 
Just an observation, but from your description of your experience, the equipment you have, and your crew, Id venture to say this tree may be out of your league. I cant imagine ANY tree taking 2 weeks to remove.

No offense.
 
Not trying to argue. I am trying to get na idea of what it may take to get the job done, and what tools could be used.

If there really is no access, save for a bobcat and it has to be climbed because you have no access to a spider style lift, then 9k could be spot on?

If you are within 200' of a crane setup it can be done for under 5k.

I can't imagine why someone would light himself on fire.

then someone else will get the job. now you have me wondering how we do anything because most of our trees have crane access
but we don't use one and still compete.

Its not as bad as you think. Its actually less painful than reading most of the shat that is spewed here at the buzz.
