Only the back through no man’s land and a nature reserve. Would require cutting scrub to get mewp through. Can of worms but looking like only option. 
 

Id be happy enough stunt felling half of

them through the shagged fence. But a lot of the others are leaning over the neighbours garden and hard up against the fence and shed. Previous owner had them all ring barked for some reason a few years back!! Made the job from a simple one into a head scratcher. 

 

Armour the shed and fence, main rigging on 3, driftline with the climber. Probably do 2 as a set piece. £500 surcharge for possession of astroturf outwith a field hockey context. Three men, one day, £3500.

I dropped you a message Doobin. I'll dismantle them if you want it done  Have you got to get the waste out through the garage or just leaving it on site?

It's a curious thing, I did a tree behind a shed couple of weeks ago which the owner had ring barked a year ago but didn't seem to have died so wanted it taken out.

 

I just can't figure out the thought process at the time they do the ring bark - the tree's not just going to vanish when it dies is it? Are they just stopping the leaves and not thinking ahead to the next stage?

I was thinking you can buy quite a few fence panels for the price of hiring a tracked MEWP.

The Easylift R-160 is a narrow tracked spider lift offering a working height of 15.8 metres for internal or outdoor...

These guys argunear Lavant I believe, this one is 1.9m might be too close to risk it...?

Yeah they are down the road. But if you look at the schematic of a tracked lift, all the height restriction is along the top. Even if it just squeezes in (which it won’t) then as it tips over the ramp it’ll jam.

This guy I think was a bit of a hoarder and there may not have been much rational thought behind it at all.

I’m not worried about targets below, the shed is going. Just can’t believe anyone would want to anchor in at the top of those trees.

They look fine from here. Not that I’d turn down the MEWP.

I might spike up and bosh bits off, but then again I might not!

 

I’d get Lux to have a look at them first.
