is bigger better

Here is a 92 second video of some work from last week. Big is in the eye of the beholder, so some might and some might not consider this big. I think it can be important, when working from a mewp at full extension, to cut a piece big enough to keep it balanced or butt heavy. I do it all the time.. set the lowering line with a pole saw and cut low enough to keep the piece somewhat balanced and let 'em swing out slow and easy, or keep the tips clear.

 

Couple nice falling cuts thrown in for some more crash and bang!

 

Hope you all are watching full screen

Big is.cool.if.you can deal with if efficiently on the deck. Can be the wrong move if.you cut a big bit if you need to sit around for half an hour.when the guys clear it up

 

I agree that it could maybe should have been climbed. Your tree.you.pruned in the other vid should have been climbed. Those.stubs.you left made me cringe.

The stubs were later pruned to target cuts, and I thought that was explained.. the power pruner was used to remove the limbs initially before the tree was climbed. That was a quick way of making some room etc.. they stubs were recut to target cuts when the tree was climbed.. The format of the video was confusing, especially of you did not watch the whole thing..

 

And I don't climb when I can use the mewp. I would not have been taking such large bits if I had been tied into the tree.
