Finished cutting up yesterday's tree today.

I have a customer who owns a woodland with plenty sizeable trees in. All for his own personal firewood use! Had me in today felling this hollow ash and a couple others at another part of the woodland. Tried to barberchair as it went over. As it started to go I dropped saw and scarpered! All wood and brash stacked at the side of the field for the nearby farmer to put in his loader and tip on the guys drive. He will have a massive stock of ash for next winter.

Cracked out willow today. The main leader had cracked and twisted onto another limb. Leaving me no high TIP and no adjacent trees near enough to anchor from, plus a wee drop zone. Tied in out one side and redirected a bit closer to the top, worked the bottom side out to give me space to drop stuff.

 

I made sure I was never working underneath the hanging top. Managed to drop over the top of the hanger and work my way up it leaving the two main resting points intact until I was ready to chunk the stem down. Once the weight was off it, it just about sat still enough to be brought down. The other main branch had an old crack which had occluded then snapped back open when I relieved the pressure on it.

 

Gave the 150t a good run and had a cup of tea brought out about every half hour. Lovely job:thumbup1:

nice work dan and very well explained...

 

i good use of redirects there, i love the fact that redirects give you such a versatile anchor point through out the tree.

 

great stuff mate

The redi's probably weren't loaded as best they could have been but it was the only choice really, and they held up so all is good

good photos dan, i think the srt style can really win out in these situations of dodgy or awkward tip,s, seems to me to be a lot safer than just one point.

how is the unicender compared with lock j+rw?

thanks carl.
