And what about weight transfer on the line?? even if your using 2 separate lines. One line it would be even greater. Speedlines are great if you can achieve jigher angles than its load point. normally i loose between 1 & 1.5m height when at the mid point under load. Its impossible to achieve a non sagging line.

 

You will get some sag but at least with the grcs you would be able to almost eliminate that, you lower the limb onto the line as normal then tension the speedline up let the running line go down it comes. in your case it seems its only got to take the limbs 15ft max before its beyond that fence which would be way before the midpoint on the line so even less sag to worry about.

Then you'd be slamming timber on the well. Im going to disagree over the speedline as even when i used my 4t winch we still got load sag. (not on this tree)

You can see straight away that tree had a lot of climbing in it.

 

I thought speedline straight away, then realised if it had been viable you'd have been on it like a fat kid on a Smartie.

 

What's the plan for the stem? Pushing chogs off, rigging or VSL?

 

Its going to have to be small chogs sadly, i think the bounce risk at the base will risk damaging of the fence or shed is too great for a vsl.

That's because James and Ian are having a 'heated debate'

Not much of a debate really either, especially as your the only one who has seen the tree etc so im just speculating. As many do on other peoples pics and vids mine included. Trouble is there so misleading to the real site and size of the job.
