Today's learning curve!

I've never had to do big rotten limes before, I had no idea how they were going to be.

First was a bit rotten, I'd taken a bottle jack although I've never used 1 before.

The outside edge was rotten do kept tearing out as did wedges.

Once I got the jack far enough in, the hinges held fine and over they went.

Last 1 I prepped the jack first rather than wait and see if I needed it, what s diference.

Nice one mate, whenever I have bottled one over, I have inserted a metal strip about 3 inches wide and half inch thick. Stops the bottle punching into/through the rot.

Nice work Stephen, never used a bottle jack to fell before, but then again I've only really just started to fell trees instead of climbing

 

Sounds like a logical idea on the plate rich

[Stephen Blair]

Rich,that jacks the only 1 I have, its a monster 30 tonner!

Totally agree on the plate, on these trees the whole jack was getting pushed down , mainly because of my poor choice of placing it and trying to bore in, it was a nightmare.

A smaller jack with a ball and socket end with the plate on would be ideal, so the plate stays with the butt as it rises.
