Same as the UK and I'm sure many other places..
I'd say our power is the same, except we have a higher voltage but lower amperage..

How many amps do you typically have there for household stuff? We typically have 10amps for everything and 15amps for heavy duty things like my welder and air compressor.

Look at the size of this pineapple!

This is officially the heaviest thing my crane has ever lifted. (Well, it's had more weight on it trying to pull huge tree stumps out), but for the most weight dangling from the hook.. This is it.

I would have to have a guess at 1000lbs.



Look at the crane flex! :D



Now I gotta tow the bastard! :P



Sorry, out of focus (It's night time and the camera was having a little trouble.)

Not sure how many could handle a tree that size, but around here, if you want a palm tree gone, there are people who will dig it up and haul it away so they can sell it and install somewhere else.

Usually cheaper than hiring a tree service to simply cut it down, and you get to feel good about "saving" the tree.


Also, that tree looked like it was close to your property line... we aren't allowed to build or install a shed or garage within 5 or 8 feet of our property lines. Silly rules.

[BlackoutSteve]

There wasn't anyone who wanted the tree unfortunately, so the transplanting idea didn't happen.
And being on the property-line was one of the problems too.. Neighbor's driveway was ruined because of it..
