I've cut my arm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[skyhuck]

On an 80' conifer, I would climb to the required height, fell the top out in one, tidy up with a final topping cut, and come down for a cup of tea!

 

What if its coming down to 20' and in a very small garden ?

Theres always room! The way I see it, if you fell a 60' top towards the chipper, then there is much less dragging to do.

[Dean Lofthouse]

An 80ft tree and you can't find anywhere to tie in? I'd feel naked at suck heights without a harness and a body strop, however the cutting is realistic, with a liberal application of silky work for me

 

An 80ft LONG hedge, not high.

 

The hedge was 18ft ish

I'd tip the chipper on it's nose, turn the revs up to full blast and fell it straight into the chipper opening, at the same time as patting my head and rubbing my tummy.

I thought you only tipped the machinery over on privet hedges Dean?

Anything that can tip, I'll tip

[MasterBlaster]

You should break yourself of that bad habit.

I can say the same for getting things stuck.

 

But none of my "bogging " tickets are official.
