Is it not screeming out for a crane. ????

 

Someone on here will give you a ballpart dayrate cost.

 

No its not! A short day with the right MEWP job done, no worries. I never set foot on the tree, no need for rigging just dropped each branch and then chogged it.

 

Crane would have had to park even further away and then it block the road, and you'd still need a mewp to make the cuts.

Do you think it will resprout :sneaky2:

 

Looks like a good machine that, how much was the hire if you dont mind me asking?

 

I doubt it will resprout after stump grinding!!

 

Usual rate is £350/day.

Am I the only one on here who would have just climbed it ?

 

that was exactly my sentiments

and i would have enjoyed it

once did a larch that with my strop on full length i still could not stand verticle as it lent so much

True Bob and Dave - But I know Rupe.... And if he felt a MEWP was best, I'd support his decision. (although I would have climbed it without a thought)

A few months ago it had a little bit of a lean, enough for me to know which one they meant by "leaning pine tree by the cottage". But since then it had moved a lot.

 

Any risk assessment should involve considering a mewp and if the customer will pay for it then why not!

 

Climb it or not, its not important, the jist is if your going to use a mewp then get the right one.

The Tuepen 23 is an awsome machine and has a very respectable outreach and height whilst still being of a weight that can be towed on a trailer

 

Only downside is fixed footprint, which is a minor downside.

 

If I was to buy another mewp it would be that one
