Two tirfors? What kind of a Land Rover owner are you? Old bit of rope, 4 Low, pull 'er over. Quick tidy up and home by 5 to weld in a few new patches on your chassis that rotted out since you left this morning.

I do enjoy watching videos of people winching trees over with a single line. As you said, two points so it won't rock to the side.

Slippy, slimy Syc 2m reduction. Tree was previously engulfed in ivy that had recently been severed and partly stripped. Plenty of deadwood and squirrel damage. Wasn’t much to work with in terms of growth as all decent growth points were on the last couple of feet of each limb.

Today we were supposed to do 3 jobs including a eucalyptus takedown, but our clutch went on the M25 so we're now sat in a layby waiting to get recovered.

 

It's going to be a long day.

Cracking job there. Not the easiest of trees to leave growth points on. Even harder to not accidentally break them after.
