Maple removal 3/11

[Kingjero]

Started working at an arb company in April, got some more experience now. Here's a video of a maple removal, my first removal with some rigging because sheds and fences underneath. Feel free to give your advice, thanks in advance!

good effort, sycamores are snappy things to work on.

My advice is flush your cuts, don't leave things that can stab you on the tree.

Attach your lowering rope closer to your cut, it's ok further out for steering the limb if that's your intention, other than that there's more chance of it coming back on you and guys on the ground don't have to hold it as long for it to tip over.

On sycamore I rarely put a gob in a small limb, I'll angle the bottom and top cuts in the direction I want them to go, and the undercut is minimal on them, on the small stems just a quick top cut is better, takes the branch by suprise so to speak and saves a lot of cutting and picking up of tiny wedges around the site.
