Great Pics you lot.

I have bought one of the smaller pulley Blocks from Yvonne, and i have to say it is every bit as nice as it looks. I had a postponement oin fridays job where i was going to test it, so will now be waiting until thursday 3rd march, but I will be checking it out then in use.

Whoever wins it will not be disappointed as far as i can tell so far.

(It wont be me as i dont own a camera lol)

Here's my go.

 

Probably need a new block or two after loading them with this lump. :laugh1:

 

Big turkey oak limb split off and stood up on its tops.

 

Our brief was to get it down without damaging the iron fence around the park.

 

Two blocks and capstans and a tag line offset from a tree at the back to turn the butt round with a pull from a tracked chipper.

 

Pretensioned both lines before cutting.

 

Considered using a telescopic handler, but decided the weight at that outreach would tip it over forwards.

 

Estimated the butt at about 2 tonnes, Stihl 361 for scale.

I think I'm trying to drift it across to the other stem, the piece is at the same height as the lowering pulley so would have slammed across quite hard. And then that rope would be dropped so that the ground crew can use it to pull the piece away into the landing zone. Not sure that it was particularly successful!

 

Heres the rest of the pics.
