Got to use the jack twice in one week:biggrin: I've made up a plate to sit on top to stop it sinking in, it's in the last shot.

 

First was the chestnut on Wednesday, back weighted over a main road, I stood it upright on the jack then two lads with a 5:1 pulled it the rest of the way. Would've been a winch job otherwise, with lots of huffing and puffing on the tirfor.

 

And a gnarly cherry from Wednesday's job, didn't do anything to it, just thought I'd share:001_smile:

 

Second was the Ash this morning. Covered in Inonotus hispidus and ganoderma spp. brackets. It was for a farmer, who kindly brought out a big Fendt to pull it with. I didn't like the look of the top, couldn't trust a high pull so again jacked it upright then let him pull it the rest of the way. The pull was only set just above half way up. When the tree came down, it split right above where I'd set the pull in, and I'm sure if we'd only relied on a pull or put it higher, we'd have pulled the top out before the tree came down. Felled it high to avoid the multiple barbed wires sticking out:001_rolleyes:

 

Alas no before shots, unless someone kind can send me some. Just the aftermath.

Today's fracture reduction on a veteran oak, was bitter cold today:-(. No before picture I'm afraid.
