Did you use the trampoline to get into the tree ?

Large willow out of pond farmer supplied Merlo teleporter which pulled it out and we moved it to corner of field to be burnt next year. Never got saw stuck which was lucky.

My job today. A reduction and thin of a medium sized oak. A bit on the heavy side maybe but hopefully it'll be okay. Unfortunately I forgot the "before" photo. So these are just the "after" photos.
This next bit should probably be in the Wee Chipper thread but anyway, I'm too lazy to repost so here goes:-
It's hard to tell the scale on here but the pile of brash was quite large. All shredded down into just 22 bags and a small pile of logs in a little over three hours. Using my Flymo shredder. Excellent machine in my opinion. Great for jobs like this in small gardens with limited access. Its obviously no comparison to a real chipper in terms of throughput, but must be economically competitive for jobs of this scale. When you consider i was leaving all waste on site, using the customers electric supply and I was being hourly paid!
