I've been cutting trees for over a decade and I watch every one of these videos and predict what's going to occur... IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DO IT!
The guy is a genius. He has the stump tethered so it cant fly away and he is using mechanical advantage through pulleys so the pull is minimized on whatever he is using to pull!
The ones where a ladder is propped up on a tree and and the cut knocks them off the ladder cracks me up. Why would you do that?
I've never seen anyone who could correctly estimate the weight of a tree or the portion of one. A crucial factor when attaching a crane to Anything.
I never use a crane when cutting trees .. a car tower is a maximum of two cables and a saw of 2.2kv .. and the crane is not used for its intended purpose! Be careful when felling trees!
We had a big tree in a small garden to be removed. and so, we placed a scaffold around that tree, on top of it i made a rope on the top end of the tree and then cut that smallpeice of, then let it down, on a long rope. Next part the same, it took a few hours but then the tree was down safely, it was already firewood and the scaffold was also on the trailer again. No accidents
All of the crane operators should be working on having one extension out, not 3 or 4, and being closer to the tree that they are lifting. They should work on wet, not dry, weight. This is part of the reason why the cranes end up facing the sky.
