Thank god he did a shallow angled gob cut. The idea of the top hitting the ground first makes me cringe.........butt reaction is frequently one thing forgotten all to often......Oooooch

 

Too right Roger.

 

I could be missing something here, but can anyone else see why they didnt clear fell that first tree?

 

Seems a little strange that they would introduce various risks, such as being in a bucket and pushing with the digger, also with very lttle leverage.

 

The way i see it, it would have been much better to put a line in the tree high up with the MEWP, use the digger to pull the line from, and fell at the base?

 

Perhaps theres less room than it looks, but seems very strange to fell such a tree at that dangerous height?

Using a mewp doesnt make you fat, overeating and drinking too much alcohol makes you fat.

 

Done similar off spikes, but I think I would have stripped some of the canopy off the back first, or put a pull line in with a redirect at ground level if there wasnt enough room for the digger in the drop zone.
