General Tree pics

Don't know really Tone, they just make me feel uneasy. Had a few failures when rigging, nearly always on badly maintained regrowth.

 

Probably just an irrational mental thing, but always been a bogey tree for me.

 

As long as you strap your pulleys up at the base of the regrowth on the growth and above (only just) the old wound you should not have rigging failures, keep loads sensible.

 

putting up a tension of any kind rigging or anchor on a high point above decay pockets is always going to be frought with danger, shear stresses on the shell are too high.

Agreed.

 

However, we've done trees with 40'+ regrowth on 20' poles, so this isn't always possible.

 

Had some disco-leg moments up untouched ones as well mind!

Few more Pics. Called in the big toys to finish off clearing away. Turned out to be just under 10t carted away!

Spelling young fella.

 

Hedge is clearly incorrect.

 

Should be hell. That's H.E.L.L.

I would burn on site but the farmer who let us use his field wanted minimal damage to the grass. So it was stacked and carted away! Used tractor for one half and a mewp for the rest. Was a nightmare!

Haha it was.

 

It had been topped in the past so was all outside regrowth coming up. Climbing it was false economy, spent more time farting around to make one cut it took me 6 hours to do about 25m of one side.
