Big beech takedown

[Salix Tree & Countryside]

So somewhere between £600 and £3k..............................

we would arrive 830 am, with an isuzu for the dust, a canter/fuso for the brush chip and a 7.5 ton for the cord, one man in tree two shifting the gear one doing the ground portion of the rigging. during lunchbreak canter tipped and ready for second load of chip.

 

you won't get much more than 3 ton on a 7.5 tonner so you need 2 trips with that as well, it will take at least 3 hours to cut up the stick, carry it all out and clear up, blow etc.... so you are basically saying that you will have the whole thing down by 1 pm.. I doubt it.

Four blokes, three trucks, one of which is making two journeys.

 

For £834 plus vat.

 

No wonder the jobs on its arse.

I've seen you climb Tone, and you are quick.

 

But there isn't a ground crew could keep up with what you rigged down in that DZ, chip it, shift the cord and be ready for the stick (which would have to be sectioned, not felled) by 12.

 

That's BS and we all know it.

 

I could have the whole tree on it's arse by 8.45 if I turned up at 8.30, but that's not the point is it?

[Mark Bolam]

Why does it have to come down?

 

Forgot to ask that. I'm sitting in for Dave Humphreys during his move. I heard customs stopped him at Ipswich and accused him of importing riots into Norfolk from London. Sad. I liked him.
