Cheers everyone!

The reason it was felled is because they were gonna put a birdhouse on top of it

gotta love m83, they really make some amazing music!

Since i'll probably will keep putting up videos might as well just make one thread.

This one is of the removal of 2 norwegian spruces in Holland

Took down a birch with the new stihl 201, and wow it has so much more power than it's predecessor aspecially on bigger pieces

Enjoy

Tried to improve my hiab crane skills since last time.....

less dynamic, more smoother.

i had a lot more communication with the operator this time telling him exactly what to do and how much pressure to put on the strop.

i know it's not perfect

hope you enjoy

7 meters or 22.9 inches for the brits

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

Cheers jon, they told me it can have about a ton at full reach

Change the music, it's crap!

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

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?

Good bit of kit. Is there a reason he wasn't using crane cuts?

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

First timer working with a unimog.

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

Took down this Ash a couple of months ago in england, pretty interesting job since where i come from (Holland) we have all the BT/electricity below ground.

Enjoy

Saw a climber use it ones, looks compacter than a ropewrench.

like to try one as well!

Yeah you can attach the end karabiners together and make a loop out of it, after that it's not as bulky

Thank you, just thought you needed it for insurance ect....

My SAKA came in this week, got a nice elastic neck-lanyard with it as well.

looks and feels very well-build and easy to adjust/replace.

I'm gonna use it DRT right now, just waiting for the hitch-hiker to become CE certified

please, just call me pascal

we used a 660 on the butt

it was in harderwijk the netherlands,

a really nice old estate

catching up:

@mendiplogs

Thank you jon

@Rob D

Thanks, i tried to make te branches float perfectly vertical

@fen01

Thanks, sorry bout that

@silkyfox

Dankjewel

@MattyF

Sure thing,

The reason it was removed was because of a rapport focusing on the roots saying there was a fungus in there, first tree really had to go second one we thought it could've stand there for at least 10+ years but the counsil insisted

@tree-fancier123

haha oh god no, can you imagine.

we didn't even have to get rid of the timber and branches

@mistahbenn

thank you, the reason is that there is a giant crane that can get me into position

@Mark Bolam

Thank you, well what else are you suppose to do with a 100 ton crane...

@Arctostaphylos uva-ursi

it did, and no we didn't but i recon looking at how much line i had left i think about 28 meters

@Mortimer Firewood

Thank you very much, sure is nice saving my body for retirement.

That sound like fun and dangerous at the same time

@RC0

Thank you

[ame]

fun job to do, the last bit of standing trunk weight over 10000 kilograms

i also had Frits for klimmen 1.

Liked that, thought you were on your own for a while as brash was fairly building up.

Was that a silky kiss on your right hand near the end? ;-)

nope my groundy wasn't really motivated that day....

no, no silky kiss in this video, i think.....

[ame]

see what you lads think?

Hee leuk een Nederlander!

Bedankt voor de tips!

Ja een lijntas heb ik ik haal alleen al de lijn eruit haha, Zal de volgende keer het erin laten.

Als ik ga zagen ben ik altijd dubbel gezekerd, mijn top anker en mijn fliplijn.

Verder bedankt voor de tips, heb er echt wat aan wat iedereen hier zegt!

Ik heb klimmen 1 en 2 gedaan bij t IPC. Klimmen 2 heb ik afgelopen januari behaald. Donderdag begin ik met stage lopen bij een boomverzorger, hoop dan nog veel meer te leren!

Cool jeroen,

Who was your instructor at IPC?

Nice, what company are you going to work for?

Cheers pascal

ps. Did you know there is also a dutch arborist forum:treehugs.nl

Sorry to all the englishmen out there but im going to speak dutch to my fellow countryman

Goed bezig jeroen!

Aantal tips voor het klimmen

*haal jezelf een lijntas, hoeft niet veel te kosten en zorg ervoor dat je grondman wanneer hij niets te doen heeft je lijn in de tas doet

*ga meer in je lijn hangen i.p.v. om de stam heen dit is energiebesparend en veiliger

*probeer altijd dubbel gezekerd te zijn

*neem je tijd bij je snedes

*heb een duidelijk plan voordat je boom ingaat

en wat voor tips de engelsen je gegeven hebben

Voor de rest zag het er heel erg goed uit, altijd 2 handen aan de zaag de kettingrem er gelijk op als je klaar was

Waar heb je leren klimmen?(cursus gevolgd)
