Handy reach on that crane .

It is indeed. Can’t remember what the reach is but I cut those bits into 18ft lengths and it stretched down to the butt from the same spot and dragged it up the slope on a sling before picking it up. Lifts a tidy weight with ease. I would imagine the big piece must of weighed 2.5 -3 ton.

Winching trees over into a river for ecological and hydrological reasons - it was a lot of fun!... 

did ya tug it over with a tractor and winch?  I wonder how much grunt that required?

No it was sitting at about 45 degrees. Lifted root plate from the recent storms.

Yeah, it was all wrong.
3' of wall missing below water level.
Put bricks in, current takes them out.
I'll have to go back in July for another crack.
About 1 meter per second flow.
And my silky Saw is on the bottom somewhere.

Yeah, big hydraulic winch with mega ground anchors. Took quite a bit of pulling but no real dramas - we had quite a few over in the day including one quite a bit bigger than the vid (it was the first tree and nobody filmed it as didn’t expect it to go over tbh, thought we may have had to weaken the root-plate).
