Contender for most awkward job of the year award

[David Riding]

In a nut shell 30inch Ash needs removing with Stump as as its directly over a leaking gas pipe. 30inch dbh bout 75foot tall, only access is down 3 tier zigzag path about 100 feet decent from rd. No chainsaw / stump grinder to be used within 15 foot of leak, (going to have to get a hydraulic chainsaw with powerpack and long pipes for tree and stump removal (carbide coated chain for roots). Just to make things more interesting there are power cables running through the tree.

If you have a powerpack I have a hydraulic saw you can borrow

 

Edit

 

I bet they ask you for copper teeth on the chain so it wont spark

That would be great, I have a power pack, how long is the bar? If you want to get a bit more out of it, you can do the climbing as well if you like? Great thinking with regards to the copper, forgot about sparks from the bar / chain.

 

cheers,

Its 18" (from memory) I will measure it tomorrow

 

The sparks thing isnt such an issue with hydraulic. They run a tad slower but with a ton of tourque. You can also turn the oil up to "drown" which reduces the chances further.

 

Where is the job?
