actually they had the rope in a good place... they just forgot to actually cut the tree before they snatched it.. if they would have cut a pie in line with the rope and cut the backside of the tree the truck could have pulled and guided it down..

the way they did it was pretty stupid but if he would have actually went forward when the tree started falling he would have been fine..

i'll show you a video i took a couple days ago of the RIGHT way to do it..

let me upload it..

if you notice the truck to the right of the screen that is a 06 dodge 2500 diesel the tree just absolutely dwarfs it.. it was fuckin HUGE.. but there is a rope going from the truck to the tree..

well if there is enough room to drop the entire tree why cut the top out? just takes more time.. and if you know how to do it without breaking shit (as the crew i work on does) then you can pie and drop the whole thing..

They dug around the tree to move it. they didnt want it for firewood. Look at the rootball.

what does firewood have to do with anything?

i explained the right way it should have been taken down.. not how you cut firewood..



i watched it again and there isn't anything showing they dug around the bottom of the tree.. even if they did that theres no way in hell your busting all of those roots by just digging unless you have a backhoe or a bobcat..

we just found our last crew member 2 weeks ago so we wont need anyone until someone gets fired which i doubt will happen because everyone on the crew is a friend outside of work... but i would put us up against anyone in speed and quality.. theres not a tree anywhere that we couldn't get down safely.. we do all of the shit other tree services won't do..
