Got a call from my best commercial customer. They have a leaning tree which is suddenly leaning a lot more. I know which tree they mean as I've seen it before, its lean is not too bad.

 

Since I last saw it they have installed a huge septic tank under it which involved lots of excavation work. The tank is more than just a tank apparenyly, its 10 grands worth of **** organising treatment centre.

 

I'm geussing I'll need a MEWP, and they have always provided me with one when needed. I can't quite remember how far the tree is from the driveway but they assure me they get a big enough MEWP.

In the second pic above you can see the trees trunk behind the mewp, its leaning directly towards the camera. Thats as close as I can get and stay on hard standing.

 

In the end I parked it on the rootplate of the Thuja tree that my head is lost in. It does not feel safe and at full reach I can only cut 2-3 feet off some branches two thirds of the way up the tree.

I need a better MEWP, the estate manager (who I'm working for) says he can get me a tracked one but they are 1000 quid minimum hire!! I call my usual MEWP bloke down the road and arrange my own for a week later. We spend the day deadwooding beech and get paid for a full day. LIke I say its my best client!
