Treework with a unimog

[ecotreecare]

Thank you,

 

i assume by crane cuts you mean step cuts?

 

 

 

if that's the case it is because the crane couldn't get directly underneath the stick because it was too short that is why i felled them and then cut the hinge.

 

i have to admid i wished the operator wouldn't put so much tension on the strop when i was cutting the hinge

 

 

A crane cut is different to a step cut.

 

With a crane cut you cut three quarters of the way through the stem then from the other side you cut on a angle down onto the first cut.

 

This means the piece can be cut without trapping the saw or shock loading the crane. As others have said- snatching bits off with a crane isn't a good idea.

Have to agree with John, a simple solution of reversing the mog in would of solved the problem of the lifting. Load it into something else or just lift the old wooden shed out the way and keep the trailer on.

Ditch the top handle and get a 46 and just chase the cut, the hiab operator wasnt learning and i would not be happy with that video on the internet along with my company name!

Hey patty , the picks were pretty terrible in this vid mate , its been said above i know but you have to be careful.

 

i know guys do but i don't agree with falling timber into a crane, for those long sticks you could have put the sling closer to the centre of gravity and then it would reduce that swing when the piece is removed........ the crane op had way to much tension on the piece and you as the climber should be reading that through your cuts..... don't want to be a dick bro but hopefully you get some good pointers out of the replies , Cheers mate , stay safe.
