STIHL Arborist at Work: Princeton University

Virtual PI rash is nothing to take lightly.

I'm impressed with how well each piece came off of there, not one piece jumped. He is good and did everything right.

oh man when was that uploaded? I better get down there!

You bet it does take some faith. No doubt this is not the first time that crew has worked together. Nice to see good work done. And not all of us worry about that ivy.

I know the guys from Aspen personally . Very professional crew , all 80 of them They probably finished that job and went to 2 more after that .

Ouch, my check book hurts.

That was impressive, great crane operation. Im guessing $2500.00+ for the job. I wonder what Workers comp is for tree work. Ironworkers in NYS pays 80.00 per 100.00 of payroll. NYC pays 120.00 per 100.00

Did you notice how fluid everything moved. Not a bump, jerk or twitch during the whole operation.

Looked pretty jumpy to me, maybe it's my Internet connection.

A professional arborist and his fine-tuned crew can make a job like that look easy.......but it ain't! I love watching vids like this!

I see Stihl gave them some nice new clean bars with Stihl logos for that video.

Nevermind the saws and crew......Who got the wood?? Nice big White Oak.

Stihl sponsors them and they do most of Stihl's safety videos . The climber in the video is a 3 time world champion and 19 time state champion . That man is one of my idols

I know, I was dying to see what he looked like without the safety glasses, lol.
My cellphone screen was sizzlin.

Looking at the timestamps, I was surprised that it took 3 1/2 hours to bring that thing down.

They are impressive. Watched a crew take apart my neighbors trees over the house. A groundie on the side directed the operation using hand signals when the operator couldn't see the climber. They were like a well coreographed dance. He would feed the butt ends directly into the chipper. Much of the trees quite literally never touched the ground. (And then they brought me the logs plus others. And many loads since.)
