Yes Ed lovely blue sky you had but you should have seen the area I was in, talk about minted.

Not being a smart ass, but I'd say I win the most minted area and client award for October, 22 bedroom town house just off of Kensington high street, 8 servants, 3 Bentleys and a Porche, the chauffer said the gaff is worth over 18 million..

 

Jeez I felt like a very little man..

[High Scale]

OK, you win.

Hehe, personally I'll take the fine weather and pastoral countryside of Shropshire over your bourgoise money bags area

[Lee Winger]

Hey! I want to be bourgoise! and live in a moneybags area! I'm an artisan and should be awarded with great wealth for my endevours in arboriculture.

 

Nah forget it, I just remembered - it was bohemian I wanted to be.

 

Ah Well:stickyman:

[Lee Winger]

so how much are these blockdrivers and can we see a close up pic, how much does it weigh?

[RC0]

Roller

 

Here's a close up of the head, this obviously carries the chunk, the driven-teeth are for traction on the under-surface. I think it weigh's aroung 6 kg, but just to clarify this point again: You do not carry it on your person up the tree, apart from insertion, it stays on the stump while your cutting

 

But remember, this was not desinged for skinny pieces that are easy toppled anyway, it is for the fat ones lower down i.e. diam of 3 feet+

 

Tight spots with no crane access.

 

Lots of the chunk- pushing pictures that I initially sent out are s-hit, (my fault) they dont do it justice. However, the picture below is a little more like it. As I recall, I cut the next piece just below the wound you can see. No way could I have pushed that sucker off without this device.

 

I may still have a picture somewhere but I think it got deleted because I'd removed my hardhat.
