Quick video from Wednesday. Fir (not sure) removal and a few stems. Customer scares me. He's up cutting on a ladder and bow saw. He had removed the tops of the stems.

Evergreen oak? Why did it have to come Out?

Evergreen oak? Why did it have to come Out?

It was diseased and was all grown over a school car park very heavy leaning over extended limbs

Thanks, don’t think I’ve ever taken out a decent size one.

 

Back in ‘95 I had to “tip thin” a similar looking one in central London when I was as green as the leaves and way out of my depth, had all sorts of issues finding a reasonable anchor point.

 

I was crapping myself and the stoned groundy couldn’t start the chipper.

 

Funny the jobs you never forget.

I'd much rather cut one down than tip thin any day [emoji6]

Clearing up after last weeks storm, first job 5 spruce on a house, used the throw saw to cut them free, another leaning over the house caught up in a birch, side loaded the birch with a tirfor and felled then both.

 

2nd job 2 trees hung up in an oak, ripped them out with the Hilux, oak rootplate liftes, section felled. About 50 80ft wind blown spruce to sever from the rootplates.

 

third job today was this, 5 trees on a fragile barn, picked them off with the crane 

 

More of the same tomorrow!

Popped into chainsaw shop, farmer type in there with this saw. Had to get a snap of this unique guide bar cover.

 

A classic “fabrication maison”
