Rich, yes I did have the helmet camera rolling.

 

Mark, I forgot to ask the weight, but I think I had it pre-loaded to about 1.5t so it probably came in at about 2.

 

Thanks again

Lovely stuff.

 

When you make the cut on the top section do you step cut of just cut through as the crane lifts?

 

Ive never used a crane before and i always wonder about how the climber knows how the but end is going to react when its cut. By this I mean the butt end of the tree.....

 

Is there training in using a crane?

I did a two day practical crane dismantling course in Oslo, Norway last September with Mark Chisholm (World Champ) instructing. It was a brilliant two days, i learned a hell of alot. He taught to cut straight through every time! I hear of others doing it differently though. Interesting course though if anyone ever gets the chance to do it.

Nice job as always. I was up your way yesterday, never seen so many Poplars, you must get sick of working with the things!
