Opinions on this job?

[haforbes]

I've been asked to quote for dismantling this beech tree and if I'm honest it's a bit trickier than anything I've taken on before. The right hand half is over a river just out of shot on the left is a building. Has good access for mewp. I'm thinking either get a contract climber in, hire a mewp or pass the job on to one of the larger local firms. Any thoughts? Thanks

Contract climber, looks a very simple job for a competent climber. Where you based?

is that at badger holt on the moor? What the corwn like and dieback? whys it coming out?

[Paul Cleaver]

as said not a hard job for a good experienced climber - no mewp needed

[limmy66]

Seems pretty straight forward plenty of high rigging points 2 section down just price accordingly allowing for logging up

Can't give to much advise on it really to many variables, but what I would say is if this is your first big and all difficult job do what you can to make it yours even if you get contract climber and have to even get two. But don't give it away. Man up and handle it yourself. You know deep down you can deal with it and when done and you see it through it builds your confidence to tackle the next bid difficult job.

Really!! I don't mean to be rude but it looks like you could slash cut and free fall everything if needs be. But then again photos do not always tell the full story. Have a go mate.

Wow well spotted! Dieback looks fairly light. Has honey fungus.

 

Based on dartmoor.

 

Thanks for replies

If you can climb what's the problem you have got to go big some time, nothing underneath it once cars have gone. Or straight fell.

If in doubt, get right on out there and do it in small bits.
