In the one pic I'm just starting to gun the Humboldt face cut, (the upper cut).... The other cuts are from when we had a friction drum attached to the tree for lowering big chunks of timber....Rigging is really what it's all about....Just to clarify.....Fell her on a big dime

That's cool!
I climbed a tree with climbers not too many years ago for the first time. No where near that high. I tell you what, that takes some stamina!! I got up there, and my legs were tired from the side load of the climbers and I really started getting shaky. My bro was with me and he asked if I was scared. I said, "No, I'm TIRED!" Used way different muscles to climb than I would have thought! Very cool!! |

That is absolutely true...I was in that particular tree for 7hrs....You can't see but there's fancy houses to either side not far away so everything had to come down controlled, (rigged)... Once I got it to 47' I dropped it with a higher stump than I usually leave, but she went where she was supposed too.... Yes climbers flipline and climbing line... Usually on a job like that I get gallons of water sent up on the equip line...Rapell down and it takes some getting used too ground again..Alot in the legs arms and core like crazy.....
Anyways here's Luci wearing her 32"......Oven cleaner keeps a bar looking new for long time...She wears a 25" full house alot too... I have more money in caribiners, rope, saddle, Iclimbers, prussiks, and misc pulleys and gear than I paid for my work truck!!! But it paid for itself quick I will say....And I don't charge probably like alot of other guys do.... Thanks fellas.... Yeah some big old growths still on the "island" |

A couple pics of the climber that cut my trees. Guy used a sling shot to shoot a ball with a string up over a branch then pulled a rope up and over it. Once he was up in the tree he was able to send another rope to another tree so that he could go from one tree to the other without coming back down. Amazing what these guys can do.

About 10 years ago I owned an acre of lake front property on Lake Norman here in NC. That's where all the Nascar boys live. But, I had a huge tree, about 6 foot in diameter to get struck by lightning. It destroyed the beautiful tree and I had to have it took down. The old man rigged lines and put on his spikes and up he went. I really don't have a clue how high it was, but it was very high. He brought it down in pieces and only charged me 500.00 for the whole job. That was including having the stump ground up and all the mess removed. You would have never known there was a huge tree there. |

That's a very good deal you got actually....Cleanup, and property damage, (proximity to things) , and ultimately size, and condition play a huge part in bidding....Trees even with the best of plans and equip, can be unpredictable.....The goal is to eliminate as many unwanted variables as possible.....
You have an awesome cub collection by the way!!! |

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
