Winching to destruction

[skyhuck]

I wounder how many would not have climbed that?? and would have got a MEWP in??

you could of climbed it (matt did to take a couple of limbs off) or got a mewp in, but the experiment was to winch it to see how the stem reacted. Was a good morning.

Good vid. Did a couple of much smaller sycs lie that last week, but they were in fairly wet ground so were pretty easy. Great fun though. One exploded when it hit the deck as it was very dead!

Errr:confused1: That was my point.

I took a few limbs off, but the photo doesnt show the rest of the tree. It was still quite a beast even though it had been reduced alot. Still a healthy enough crown too. It was Ok to climb and reduce, but I would not have dismantled it. from 4m and up it was solid then there was a huge union. I think it would have been wreckless to shake it around too much, but in the end it supprised everyone with how it didn't fail
