A job we did last week. Oak broke about 12-18’ from ground, fell into a couple firs, hanging over a flume that supplies water to several communities here. Spent 4.5 hours stabilizing it and getting the tops out until dark, then a couple hrs the next day getting the trunk down

This is a couple weeks ago but rather funny. The dingo broke down after 9 years and while I was putting it up on the trailer wouldn't ya know the track hooked the prop rod on the far side. Out of view it intertwined the track and wheel. The dingo got really heavy all the sudden lol. a pain in the ass to get out. It would have been nice to have a die grinder with us lol.

It probably didn’t seem funny at the time though
 
Hard to follow @chiselbit post with a measly old pruning job but this old raggedy silver maple was a fun climb and looks respectabel now in it’s high end neighborhood
Pruning is something we all have to do every day too. Can't always be glamorous. Takes a lot of hard work. I am curious though, was it full of hallow leaders and decay? Seems every silver maple we touch around here is.
 
That was something underground we drove over in a yard. Also when I parked the truck I noticed my right front tire had straddled two 1 "id pipes. Upon closer inspection there were four pipes all cut just about ground level. With the soft soil they would probably have pulled a plug out of my tire. We found four knives in the yard as well, a hood prop rod and everythingunder the sun. I was afraid to trip walking, fall and end in the emergency room.

This is a sore spot with me! I know exactly what you mean! The reason it strikes a nerve with me is because we have some grand enormous silvers here in New Jersey, and yes most are badly decayed
(ruined by hack pruning). This one has never been touched so just a bunch of dead tips and a few over extended limbs.
Not the usual decayed spots where someone felt the need to make a 4 or 6” removal cut half way up a 50’ stem.
This one was a pleasure!CA0B2824-55C4-4CBC-AB2D-4CE758848037.jpeg
