2 Horse chestnut removals

[Dave D]

i don't know much about rigging and using cranes but that looked very impresive:thumbup1:

 

same question as sbtc, how did you get your rigging ropes out so far?

[thomas_3rd]

love your vids mate. every limbs got perfect balance point, love the way they glide away once ur cuts through.

 

cant wait for the next vid!

[White Noise]

Always a pleasure to watch Reg

[RC0]

Thankyou. The vid was an easy one to edit only taking an hour late last night.

 

Liam, Stephen, the pickup is a Dodge Dakota, had it for about 5 years now and its been very handy through numerous tree-related applications.

 

SBTC, Dave D, I did hang from the crane to access the last, horizontal on the smaller tree. Really, it was the only practical way to put the slings where I needed them.

Cool Reg, I love those Dodges Dont suppose you've got anymore pictures of it mate??

 

Im abit of petrol head

[SJH]

Nice job Reg like otheres have said perfect balance on those limbs. Thats some landscaping job going on there.

[Rupe]

Good stuff reg. I like how the balanced bits get through the editing process!

 

Was that a days work? What would the cost have allowed you time wise if you didn't have the crane. 2 days or not that much? I guess its not your job so its not important to know.

[testcricket01]

another job perfectly done as always.

[Mesterh]

Got to admire the way you get the rigging so perfectly balanced.

[RC0]

Thanks again.

 

 

Liam, I found some photos on an SD card. Some cosmetics to do here and there this month though.

 

 

Rupe, the two sites were about 50 miles plus a week apart, and for two different contractors. The actual treework time didn’t take much more than a few hours on each, but there was much messing around before hand. Andrews job, (the taller tree) was at a building site where there was problems with access, parking, ongoing deliveries, and generally lots of people already in each others way who weren’t even told we were coming that morning. It was a real mucky site too, and with hail coming sideways before a saw had even been started, when it reached 9:30 (been there since 7:30) and no further forward, I was about ready to clear off. However, eventually things got sorted and the job went ok apart from the weather.

 

The smaller tree had just expired an enforcement notice by a day and I was asked at quite short notice to help out. The location was quite a drive from my house so I requested a crane (budget allowing) to guarantee completion on the Saturday morning, which suited everyone involved also. We had a little trouble getting a car moved first thing, but eventually the owners dragged themselves out of bed and helped us out.

 

The justification of the crane on both jobs was more to do with getting in and out within a specified time, and not so much the cost.
