Treework with a unimog

[SuperPowerPatty]

I was gonna ask the same question like you wanna be really care full shock loading a crane !! Felling on to slings and picking up is good but I would not of been happy at all with most those cuts for picking bits off... Nice rig 😀

 

not being rude or anything, but what did i do wrong precicely and in the case what would you have suggested to do instead?

You know, in the bottom bar of each youtube video, there is a little button that allows you to mute the video

First timer working with a unimog.

Nice bit of equipment, takes a lot of work out of your hands

 

HI SPP GREAT MOG what reach has it got lift weight at full reach thanks jon

Hey patty, Like wise without trying to be picky or pedantic and pick holes mate I just find it a scary thought if some one watched this and tried it on a 60 meter crane ... Lol I would of cut them like you did at 48 most of those picks looked pretty hairy, for the sake of you and the crane I don't think the gob cuts did anything but give it more swing , hinges don't really work with cranes it's more about picking bits off.

Maybe it's the reach or the crane operator but they looked well to under tension hence the swing, maybe picking them off the deck would of been more suitable or a small porta wrap set with block or rigging rings up the tree so you can control the bit until it's settled once it's been picked on a short rope.. Never had to try that though but it maybe might minimise the swing.

Thanks for the response matt!

 

this is one of the reasons i post these vids on here there are a lot of skilled arborists on this forum who allways have a idea of doing things, not all of them are right but they are allways worth listening to!

 

in this case you are right:001_tt2:

 

the problem was indeed the reach i couldn't get the crane directly underneath the timber in most cases.

If i did i would've just used step-cuts all the time.

another problem was that the operator put way to much pressure on the strop.

after the first cut i asked him to put less pressure onto the strop and then the second cut went a lot better(0:48)

but sadly at one of the last pieces (3:06) he seemed to have forgotten to not put to much pressure onto the piece

Aye we are all exports behind are key boards , I would of been screaming blue to back off and been unable to show the footage if it was mine!! Thanks for sharing 🍻
