The report said to use a cherry picker but it wouldn't have been practical or cost effective, for a start I reckon she was at least 35m tall with a spread of easily that if not more

Cracking tree Mr Shutler, and very nice work btw.

 

Is this a first phase of an ongoing retrenchment program?

 

If so, when's the second phase due in the schedule?

So there is. My phone is so low on memory now I can't even zoom in on photos.

 

Thanks for letting me know gently. A lesser person could have been a right prick about it.

Myself and Al did the garden side yesterday morning and three of us did the roadside stuff this morning

Can't quite find the correct icon, but I'm sure you get the drift.

What sort of volume came off John?

You remind me of my grandad trying to text.

Spent all day fishing a 70ft ivy infested fallen alder from a stagnant drink, ran into numerous problems including 2 snapped winch cables and the obligatory jammed saw on a couple occasions

2 snapped winch cables

 

Oh, and about that. The second cable was a dyneema cable which we were told had a higher breaking strain than the steel cable....it snapped within seconds literally. The Steel cable we were using first was old, and failure was expected.

 

Anyone else had experience with dyneema for winching?

I've got dyneema winch rope on my Pajero. Pulled over some big trees and stuff out of rivers, not snapped it yet.

Maybe yours had a nick making a weak point?
