oak and cedar dismantles

[Matt Butler]

I would like to add that there may be a tiny bit of inability or laziness even which may lead to the attitude to which the above quote is a response....

 

 

ouch...

Just out of interest, why wasn't the tree just felled ?

Perfect post there Peter, well said.

When I price a job it's how I can make the most money out it and the customer gets the best deal possible without compromising my safety and their property

Just reading through this thread, and Dean has beat me to it.

 

Pictures rarely tell the whole story, but there seemed to be adequate space.

 

Bit of soil and grass seed is a lot cheaper than a mewp or a crane.

 

I am a regular mewp user, and I would have prefererred to have cut the top out from a rope and harness than position a mewp that close for that kind of a cut. ( Using the mewp for access, because of my laziness and inability )

 

IME the most efficient use of mewps in tree work is in conjunction with climbing, rather than either/or.

 

Matt Butlers comments about the boom configurations of a lot of mewps not being very handy for tree work, is very well observed.

 

Anyway, good job by the OP and his team. All down safely, and thats what counts.

[Matt Butler]

Not at all!!!

 

A decent climber would have up that and have put the gob in before the MEWP was even set up!!!

 

Plus the cost of the MEWP would be turned into pure profit!!!

 

 

 

So what would you say to a little challenge???????,

 

two similar dismantles (one climbed the other using MEWP) winner is the first to have tree prosessed and site clean and ready to leave............

Ok, but it needs to be from the quote stage.

and it's an apple tree under 30 phone lines at the back of a tenement.

Out of interest Mat, how long would you have taken to do the cedar in the op? Not to clear up just down to ground level.

i would have clear felled it so probably about 10 minutes:thumbup:

 

no, seriously i don't see why you couldn't dismantle it out of a mewp in chipper friendly pieces and cog the stem in fair size lumps in about 2 hours
