You've done a nice job of it.  How often do they have it done?

Ever four years.

 

Had a full load of wood chip from the job which took me by surprise.

 

It's definitely is a two climber tree.

It would take less then half the time.

I have done this tree 4 times over the years.

 

First time stayed up the tree and finish by lunch.

 

This time had two breaks and took till 2.30pm.

 

No matter how you keep in shape you do start to slow with age.

 

Next time I'm doing it with another climber.

nice job, bit of a daft place to plant a euc imo

[Ian Flatters]

Which is what exactly?

[emoji23][emoji23] good point.

It means you can run the chipper from the skid steer or digger cab. Doesn’t work on the tv though.

But you can see what the buttons are for. Total equipment shutdown. Forward (which now sets off an audible horn to tell you, I didn’t even know it had a horn in it) stop rollers and reverse.

Nice work, but sooner rather than later that tree is coming out, you just can’t contain them.

The client was talking about taking down the tree in the next few years due to subsidence in the house.

 

Structural engineer has recommended that it be taken down in stages as not to change the water table and cause further complications to the building.

 

Has anyone find this to be true?

Put  ‘heave’ in the search facility on here, lots of info.

 

Soil type is key it seems.

A mature beech reduction carried out by ben who works for us.

The one on the left by the summerhouse?

 

Nice work on the beech, very awkward and fiddly, does he have a sighter or just trusts himself?

That was joshs reduction. [emoji23] pulling that stem over Monday.

A bit of both really, Ethan and Eli we’re doing stuff nearby so spotted when needed. Myself and jenny were in the front so could spot from there as well.

The most this morning made it a tad slippery for him until it dried out.
