Costs for that recovery would probably be somewhat higher, especially in the NYC area, where I used to deal with hydraulic cranes like those during my career in construction quite often, spec'ng em out for my jobsites. Master riggers license down there is also a hefty requirement, but for that recovery, really just need experienced operators and guys on the ground, although knowing how to rig sure helps for a lot of complicated picks, those guys probably had er ready to pick in no time. The island is for the rich nowadays, when I was down there, no way could I afford any of those places and I made a good buck, played it smart and lived in NJ. You know it used to be a lot of farmland and vineyards. All the dairy products, bulk milk are trucked in, long distances. I'm glad to be out of that fast paced life too, came back to my roots. Guys around here are still doing tillage and getting seed down right now, usually between mid april and now, it's the best time of year. The best part of that story was that he was right out in the field again. I've been watching the farmer who does our place here for over 35 years, since a little kid, nothing but admiration for these guys, I know those darned developers just want all this land, they don't appreciate what these guys do, so I've been taking a few more photos, can't imagine how things will be when these guys are gone.
