Cute editing.

 

Did the Oppo, use the bucket to rig down the last part of the canopy @ 2.31 ish ?

That's what it looked like to me.

Why'd you say that? the guy done a great job, used a block and the rigged pieces would've swung far enough away from the boom. Interesting he used a pole saw for some of the cutting when rigging. Be good to see that removal from another angle.

 

Treewisemen, someone emailed me the youtube link to that vid, dont know anything about the company.

Dont think so mate, if you look closely, you can just about see the pulley on the trunk.

Not doubting the Guys ability, the whole job certainly looks like a slick operation.

But adding a dynamic force on to and above a buckets SWL is not clever in my book.

There is a pulley set on the Trunk for this section, but what's the reason for the bucket moving simultaeniously with the lowered piece toward the Chipper?

 

If he's just admiring his handy work, then I stand ashamed and corrected.

You see the guy removing the rigging block he used for the piece from the stem at 2.36.

There was a septic tank nearby.
