In Desperate times...My Silky saves the day!

Even organised last weeks job whilst on the move.(Dismantle crown to where the tree could be safely felled into the yard).Targets-9 BT wires,a couple of roofs,chimney pot,walls etc...No chipping as the owner would organise someone to stack the branches.I agreed to do it from a Platform and use only battery power.A good chance to showcase the Amazing 161T.

Who put those phone lines there? What a pain.

Yeah Paul, don’t try and build up the drama like some needy teen on TikTok, where you off to?

He's done it before though it, keeps an air of mystery like the milk tray man.

My friend who is doing construction/renovation on a house wanted this Tree gone.I toldhim if he got a MEWP in I'd get the crown out on day one.Thankfully cut/chuck/hold,branch manipulation is my favourite Arb discipline and was going to require that from start to finish.There were two small triangular holes that I planned to drop the brash through and as the crown came apart it would open up into a larger void.Nice and peaceful with the battery saw but what I call a "busy tree".I knew the 161T would dismantle nearly all of it with ease but it would be a good test for battery longevity.

I had these for the basket.

But knew I would probably get most of it with these two items.

The Mewp arrived bang on time but they'd sent a slightly larger model and it had to get into the yard.

With a few alterations to the gate we got it in.So with storms forecast later I got cutting.(and slinging and chucking)

Other than when I was moving into position it was a relatively quiet procedure and I rather enjoyed it.

Other than moving the Mewp I rather enjoyed it and it was very quiet and peaceful.

I always have a sling with me.And as the rain came in it gave me the edge on the greasy scudamore branches.
