What is that hiab rated to? was that a 66 or an 88 you had up there?

 

Its a Palfinger 10501D, it'll lift near 3 tonnes close in and half a tonne @ 14M.

 

66 mate, the finest saw available, in my view :thumbup:

Cracking set up! Great video to. Im not sure why im going to tell you this, but it will bug me if i dont lol, i notice the saw starts to get slightly pinched towards the end of your cuts, do you think a small step cut would prevent that and you could then snap it off with the crane?

 

Like i say it will bug me if i dont ask, and i have no crane experiance so please dont be offended by my question :)

Not offended in the least :001_smile:

 

you could put a cut in the opposite side before making the main cut, which works well, or on BIG pieces you can cut 3/4 of the way through then finish with a sloping cut from above, this stops the piece twisting or sliding your way. (top tip for Mike Hill)

 

I would not recommend big step cuts as the force required to "break" it free is often great and can cause shock loading.

 

As I have the crane control with me I find it easiest to just cut clean through.

 

If the saw gets nipped I can slew the crane to free it.

 

Another method I use is to cut part way through, then draw back the saw, (so only cutting 2/3 of the way through) then bore right through, finish that side then back the saw up finishing the holding wood. Much as you would when cross cutting a large log that you don't want to split.
