Also, took down this whooping macrocarpa last month due to the 3 stems growing apart and a split running 20ft done the stem. Customer didn’t even notice the split until I noticed whilst doing other works. They wanted a report carried out because they wanted to retain the tree but ultimate result was it needed to be removed as soon as possible.

Measured 8ft on the stump, not often we get to cut trees of this size down in the UK.

Some decent rope running as well, nice job.


Yeah the lad done well to be fair, his first proper big job being on a rigging line and it needed to run to put as little stress on the split.

Rigged 80% of the tree down only because the driveway was on a slope

Sometimes if the block pulley is in place it’s easier to rig down stuff so the groundies can orientate the branch to the chipper.
Cannot see the slope from the vid. How long did it take?

100% makes their life easier.

Took 3 days to get the tree down and an extra day to get rid of the timber. Access really wasn’t great so we were limited on size of machines we could get in. Ended up being 9 arbtruck loads of chip. Not sure on how many trailer loads of timber as the local farmer that we use that picks up timber up for us sorted that.

Did the poor machine access have you waiting around in the tree while stuff was organised on the ground?

Wasn’t to bad to be honest, was easy enough to move our Arb trucks and TR8 about. I climbed then there was 3 on the ground.

The Digger and a trailer arrived half way through the 2nd to start removing timber and whilst he done that we just took breaks because it was bloody hot.
