Default Re: lowering BIG blocks.

Plenty of useful info said here, ill add the obvious that can some times be unthought of. The way i do it is simply the easiest most effective way it can be done. Its completely up to you and your calculations. Work out the job in different scenarios - A crane and all that goes with it, be careful as im sure you know with costs but also note the length of job and small manual labor required. With your crew, depending on your gear and equipment and time available. Subing it out, you do nothing but take a cut off the top.

Even a combo of both, like take all branches off down to trunk no longer handleable then all you will need is a small crane or even a hiab truck puls they can lift it streight into the bin and take it away, takes a hour or 2 at most. Here they used with extreem success.
