Cranes in tree work are becoming pretty common, all my mates are using them all the time.
Depending on situation it’s faster, cheaper, safer and lower impact on the clients garden. Clean up on leylandii is endless and boring. Throw the lot through a 36” chipper straight from the crane, job done.
Might not be as ‘manly’ but it def makes sense if you’re running a tree firm.
Going up on the end of a crane and getting dropped at the top of a big crumbly poplar is always preferable to having to climb the damn thing.
