Ding Dong the witch is dead
The ficus tree is on the curb.
The biggest of those logs is about 1000 pounds. I hope the claw truck is working well. Not bad work for an old guy tho. http://gfretwell.com/ftp/fichus%20killer.jpg http://gfretwell.com/ftp/Tree%20on%20the%20curb.jpg I am guessing 3 18 wheelers http://gfretwell.com/ftp/Hort%20pile%2010-21.jpg |

You know, I looked around and those duck ****ers were nowhere to be seen. My neighbor came over to help but he slipped away as soon as he could. I go a little too fast for most people and I don't stop very often. I don't know how many tons of hort I moved in the last several weeks but a smaller part of that tree was 8 tons when I took it down several years ago and it filled a 30 yard dumpster. That was just the biggest tree. We had lots of stuff down here. I just found out I am taking down another one here tomorrow, a 30' sea grape. |

Then you'd probably be down to a couple deuce-and-a-halfs. |

Then you'd probably be down to a couple deuce-and-a-halfs. I haven't seen a chipper with a 3 foot throat. The county says they are planning on 2.5 to 3 million yards of stuff so the chipper method might be to slow. They are here with a gradall and 10 yard dump trucks. It is going to be a while for that too. Last time (Charley) they had 18 wheelers. That was a contractor, this is county DOT. |

The biggest chipper I've seen (and used) would take up to 12" (according to the manufacturer). About the biggest we put in it was 8-10". No, the ficus wouldn't go there! I was thinking the piles in your last picture. |

It is going to be a while for that too. Last time (Charley) they had 18 wheelers. That was a contractor, this is county DOT. Some of those chippers are pretty amazing though. I was watching a crew remove a large tree from a congested, developed area. They use a huge crane to lift the tree in sections after being cut by a nut with a chainsaw, hanging halfway up the tree on a rope. They then cut the limbs off and fed a chipper with long sections up to a foot in diameter. They bogged the diesel engine down a bit but chewed them up. The larger tree trunk sections were hauled away uncut to be processed into firewood or other usages. |
