original survey spec'd a reduction but once we got up her it was clear it was going to need more. I suggested it to the local TO as a way of allowing us to leave some of the timber on site as money was tight for the client.

 

The cuts themselves are just step cuts with a very big step, the bottom cut faces the winch obviously and the top cut is about 8' up from that, Then let loose the winch, had the tree been in poor condition at the base we would have taken the climber out first. He still got a few bounces as the other cut (not in vid) didn't want to play and took 4 attempts.

 

We did corro them too.

A poplar we felled today, it was well rotten despite having plenty of leaf, there was virtually no gob as I wanted to keep two rolls of reaction wood as the hinge. the weight and the wind wanted to take it towards the hedge and the pink building but it held on long enough. I had an asymmetric hinge for that purpose.

 

We had a bet on the length after we felled it, I lost:blushing:

 

it was 81 foot:001_smile:
