Hi Reg,

 

Just wondering why the top was taken out in 3:23 in the other tree in the frame??

High standard of work as always Reg

 

Im jealous of that weather. Your not missing much sun in the UK this summer

Thanks again.

 

Craig I'd like to get down there but its awkward fitting in with my wifes work commitments while looking after our 3 year old. I'm not going to leave her with some stranger so I'm not sure how to get around the situation. I'll be at TCI in November though.

 

Tim thanks for the concern, but its not going to happen topping a straight up conifer. Yep, the stock 201t -woeful cutter and quite dangerous where a top starts to tip and that thing wont cut fast enough to keep up.

 

Ian there were some quite tall tree's on that property you refer to, up to about 140 and like beenpoles. 3 had come down in a storm on the guys property a week earlier. By law the owner was aloud to remove so many this year and modify (top) some others....with a view to revoving the topped ones next year under a new application. When the trees fell on the house his wife was really shaken up, so they just wanted peace of mind.

Good footage thanks for sharing, those tops get some movement in them

The set-back you get on some of the tree's here is quite something....especially the really skinny ones that have grown in groups upto about 140.

 

I had a rookie climber grounding for me on one job and could just make out his lips say 'f*** that' while shaking his head as I got pushed back about 12ft on one such top. I should mount a camera looking up at the bottom of the tree to show it better, but I've only just started filming again just lately.
