Good stuff man, who are you working for there? Looks like north shore to me??

Awesome stuff Conor, top of the game right there!

How does the bell auto release the strops? Really slick.

Love the ‘2 saws’ comment at the end!

Great stuff! Really impressive piloting. Does the tree move much while the slack is taken up or is the pilot that sensistive? How does the pilot know which way your cut is taken, or do you as the cutter start on the opposing side to the copter?

Hi mate! On this particular job there wasn't to much movement but i did one a few weeks later on some skinnier pines and yeah they had quite abit of movement but the pilot is real smooth. And he's got alot of experience working with arborists and he knows to take the piece away from the back cut, basically he has no door on his chopper and just hangs his head out watching. We also have a guy on the ground who is in comms with him letting him know the approx weights.

Thanks mate! And the hook the chopper uses is real fancy, i aint entirely sure how it works all i know is the pilot hits a button and the gate opens on the hook and the strops fall away ha!
