I still have a complete one with a damaged winch which could be repaired with the right pair of hands . Strictly collection only though . Devon?Somerset border 

A complete winch or GRCS?

DIY winch had some more use today, arguably the best piece of equipment I own. 

 

Glass railings, extremely rotten willow, luckily there was a tree close by to use for rigging and my climbing line.

How do you find it without the self tailing bit?

Mine saved many hours on this job. A line of 15 pops to come down. Awesome bit of kit. 

I've named it the HARS- Hopefully Adequate Rigging System

Fine once you are used to it, doesn't slow the job down or anything.

Two clips that were recorded. 

 

It's nice being able to tension the line, and lift as it's swinging round.

Bit of a dull job at least in regard an arb way, customer wanted back to boundary and pollard another oak.  I'm just the climber. 

Although to add interest there is a plastic roof, rubber roof, fence and all the other usual stuff.  Drop zone maybe 2m by 2m 

 

Big swings not an option, two control lines not an option as it's me and the groundsman only. 

 

Rope was set in a V shape, tied off to the left, pulley in the middle, pulley on the right down to the winch

 

 

 

All is well that ends well,

 

 

 

 

Not my idea of a beautiful job, however nothing other than the tree were damaged.

Well thought out.

 

Yes, horrible work!

Some people are just pricks.

Who would want to look at that all day?

Eucy take down,

 

Awkward drop zone, the lower branches were over 30ft long hanging over sheds and green houses. These i rigged flat 

 

 

 

 

Swung a big top as it's position was unbelievably awakard

 

 

 

Then it was was back to porta-wrap and logs 

 

 

Had a conifer to remove which we pulled up and off the sheds in lumps, saved bundles of hard work 

 

 

 

 

 

All in all it went damn well
