Sorry, only photos are pre-job staging because the job today wasn’t mine. A friend who lives about 5 miles away had a decent size tree come down in a storm a couple weeks back. Out of respect for him and his family, didn’t take any pics of the actual job.
It was a yard tree since it was planted so it was one of those trees that looked like a giant bush; all limbs and not much trunk. Loaded the stump grinder on his pickup and left the forks up there with them.
Roaded the tractor to his place with the chipper and grapple. About six hours with him, his adult son, and me got it cleaned up except the final raking.
Ground the stump and a couple more while the stump grinder was handy. Came home with the stump grinder on the tractor and chipper on his truck.
They fed me lunch and I took about 8 bottles of water from them, so that was nice.
Took me a few minutes to find the SMV triangle. I don’t road it much and having it on there it’s impressive how incredibly in the way for a wide variety of things from seeing what you’re doing with the 3 point to accessing the pencil box, I mean the tool box. It was on while we were on the road and not one minute longer.
Got the job done. No injuries. No breakdowns. Good day.
