Sounds like a plan...

Crane operator said "no, I can't lift you". So I climbed it... Turn this one up, it's good...

So I typed the comment below at 8:46…. The ability to judge the balance of these limbs is legit professional! A joy to watch. Thanks for modeling crane work etiquette and tree work on in general

[@mvblitzyo]

wow besides the crane operator there is SOO much planing that goes into a job of this size , beautiful work ! Joe

[@bobbrooks266]

People always ask why its expensive to take a tree down.!!!! Well here's some of the answer.!!! Just watch this guy's skills. Well done sir

[@mrvang8077]

It's only expensive when you are paying someone to cut it down. And dispose of the tree. If you're a handy dandy DIY you can do it yourself taking into consideration that you are doing it safety with the proper gears and power tool.

​​@@mrvang8077 God no, it's a job for professionals not have a go hero's. That's why so many home owners get killed every Year. They watch a few Y.T videos and think they are August Hunike or Reg Coates, 🙄

[@branddann]

Especially with spikes on, I definitely would have had my foot farther away from that first cut. Excellent span rigging and shelf cuts. Only the last branch pick came back towards

[@aerialrescuesolutions3277]

That butt log was quite the pick for that boom angle. Excellent work Patrick.

Man, I love jobs like this. Nice work.

Great work man! Don’t stop !!

[@Woodrats272xp]

Great job Patrick!

[@matthewcullen4536]

Seriously… amazing pick points! This is “tree whisperer “ level! Or crane whisperer. I’m not even sure it’s that good

[@Bythirteen]

incredible. great work!

I stumbled across this video and it's my first time here. Sweet picks! I'll be checking out some more of your content. Keep those chips flyin 🤘🏾

Great video

[@gregbrown9271]

Smooth picks 👌

I really dig the old school homemade chainsaw lanyard. I have a couple I still use myself. Stay safe.💪

Helluva job! :-)

[@angryretrogamer7313]

I've always done trees the old fashioned way so not much crane work but i know balls made of steel when i see them. Must be a tremendous rush cutting those. 💪

[@TreeMuggs_PatrickM]

It's a lot of fun once you get past the intimidation factor of it all....

[@angryretrogamer7313]

@@TreeMuggs_PatrickM I've done a few crane jobs but nothing near that size cuts. It was a crane that grabs the limbs and not a cable but being new at using a crane i was nervous.

[@dankotos61]

Nice work man

[@BigBlackTruckDave]

Nice vid Patrick!

ทำได้ดีมากพี่ชาย อยู่อย่างปลอดภัย❤

[@twobyfour]

Outstanding Patrick. Do you use a sorta `Rule of thumb` for estimating a big limbs weight vs the boom capacity?

[@TreeMuggs_PatrickM]

There's a green log weight chart that helps, for limbs we just go back and forth, I estimate before cutting and then operator tells me what it actually weighs, takes a few picks to get it dialed in

[@terravitamantenimiento57]

15.40 nice crane pick. This is why you love doing It. What was the age of the tree?

[@richardf9137]

EXCELLENT JOB!! Were you using a clove hitch when you were tying on the limbs?

[@TreeMuggs_PatrickM]

Thanks, Cow hitch only 👍

[@chrisashton1082]

Nice balanced picks. 15:30 looked a bit butt puckery.

[@thegreenrevival4424]

Smooth as anything! Brilliant work. The three lines from the crane is that your preference or crane guy? Seems very logical and helpful. Espeically with loose ends and no hardware/chains

[@TreeMuggs_PatrickM]

Appreciate it. Those slings are sold as a set from Maple Leaf Ropes. They are 3/4" Double braid with the core pulled out and replaced with dyneema. Super heavy duty and the best option I've ever used for balancing picks...

[@thegreenrevival4424]

No bother mate keep doing what you do and sharing those skills. I appreciate you elaborating on that, definately ropes I’d like to get hold of

[@aerialrescuesolutions3277]

Awesome slings.@@TreeMuggs_PatrickM

[@batmantiss]

That went about as well as they can go. That's good capacity for being so far from the street! Still not allowed to ride the crane out there?

[@TreeMuggs_PatrickM]

Yeah, just depends on the operator, but lots of them say no....
