Regarding the previous tree/green house thread.

 

I always use an open gob a perfect v shape when the tree falls the hinge holds it to the trunk.

 

put a chain on the trunk to but only on hills still my man you done the job and got paid cant say fairer than that.

Nice scotspine Raaf!

 

Re - oak fell - yes, in the future will put more rope/chains on stems to stop rolling.

Nothing special really but was a good size fell for me to tackle....nice tall skinny sycamore with fairly chunky main stems...thick with lichen and frosty wet too...glad I had good spikes on! was cool to rev up the 200t...

 

 

 

 

the good man has a hell of a clear up for tomorrow but he says he'll enjoy it...

 

Out of interest anyone got an opinion on the timescale and likelihood of failure on any of these stems....the tree had been thinned and the weight distribution didn't look too bad. The roots were habitually invading the sewer ...

 

 

Cheers
