Some recent work. The pine was a take down, a bit wobbly! We carried out crown care on the rather special Holm Oak, three limbs still have to be propped.

excavate the roots on one side, and push over. Its an old fashioned but effective way of getting a big rootball out the ground, as it uses the trees own weight as leverage.

 

I prefer a splitter / shear on the excavator to break up the rootball in situ.

 

Not quite Ed but close,No need for sheers with cypress a ripper is suffice.

i would love a job with you mate. how do you guys get on with beasties and snakes at work, or have we just been brainwashed that snakes and killer spiders are everywhere?

[A_lopa]

Just keep your eyes open mate,IMO the summer heat is the worst stress.Was qouting a job a while back and a red belly black snake was coming across a paddock at full speed in 40Degree heat was quite a scary sight.

eeeek!!terifies me that. do you smoke out trees to make sure they are creature free, or make loads a noise or somthing??

[A_lopa]

Just do the same as you would,Unless there's movement in the tree.

 

I wouldnt climb in far nth Queeensland no matter what the money was.
