big ash with heavy lean towards wires

I often use a truck for pulling trees.

 

Wearing Jeans on the job? It's America, they do things differently.

 

Why do i get the feeling you guys are just looking for faults because Dadio posted this vid?

 

Its starting to get old guys

love the video its good to see how people work around the world, and yes i often use landrover for pulling trees down and have in the past seem track chips used. well done good take down.

[Steve Bullman]

tracked chippers can be awesome for pulling trees over that dont require a fast pull

Quite a hairy one to do,I have had them down with a winch,& used a truck too,a truck does give you the potential for a faster line speed which in my opinion can be desirable sometimes.

Have often used my Maverick to tension/pull trees, and that is only plated for 2800kg

[Steve Bullman]

Trees rarely need a 'pull'. If the cuts are perfect and the holding wood is sound, the energy in a tensioned rope is more often than not enough to get the tree going. Trucks come in handy for side leaners where there is the possibility of the tree breaking the hinge and snapping off sideways. By this time the tree should already be on its way though and just need some gentle encouragement to keep going. If you snap a rope pulling a tree you've done a lot more wrong than just choose the wrong instrument for pulling with

It does have added ballast to help with the tugging Felix!

That 2800kg is only valid if it is carrying my lunch box and brew kit

Very confident fell Dadio.

 

Intrested set-up. though i would have at least stopped the traffiic at rear for a minute while you done the fell.

 

maybe winching over would have been better.

 

got it down safely. weel done.

Tell you what mate your attitude towards health and safety shown on this video sucks Not just the jeans issue but felling a tree with live traffic behind you ????????[/QUO

i agree ,what sort of [pro] tree worker wears jeans ,a tree surgeon wears chainsaw trouses ,very bad example imo ,as for the road it depends how far away it is ,but a risk assesment should of coverd that if there was one

 

when i worked in the states i always wore cargo trousers and boots from walmart. oh yeah never wore a helmet much either. my ppe was sunglasses.

 

Just the way they work in the heat.
