the 'todays job' thread

A job for boys with big toys today.

 

Large oak had a failed main fork, luckily landing in a field.

Client wanted the whole tree down, so down it came.

Hard couple of days, traffic, house, car port and wind to contend with but the team got it done! Excellent work and I get all the wood too!!

Delicate operation in big wood, me thinks. Lots to contend with as pictures show, but nice bonus with all that timber going home. Good job mate.

Reducing the height of this hedge today.

Did the controls get stuck in the up position?

[Neilp1400]

Lol you can get more outreach if you go up and straight and swing back down, that hedge is about 15 ft wide, needed to get the last few bits on the far end of it.

Well in my 13 years of having a firm this job is the only one I have underestimated how long it would take, with the obsticals, traffic and wind it put is behind but we got it done and got 6 10x5 ifors with cage sides full of wood and 2 others which I sold on straight away. It's been a good experience and today the customer bought us fish and chips and then a pint after we had done. The weather stayed fine and nobody was hurt, lots of things learned as well. Both trees had rot in them the first was hollow at the root plate right up to about 20ft and the second was hollow about 20 ft up.
