Quel cauchemar!

Yes, was extraordinarily grateful for the mewp. Good fun with the folk I was with also

Removed a particularly awkward sycamore from under a viaduct, over a river.

Been on with a fifty something meter conifer hedge reduction last few days. Approx 3m off the top. Thankfully had a mewp. Chipped it all with a cs100. Well impressed with it, eats connie very well.

I'm not sure what I would choose between this job, and medieval style warfare.

Top job ?

Big hairy Douglas, technically easy, logistically a headache as it was a distance from the yard, 10 cube of chip and a couple of trailers of logs and rakings.

 

We discovered a more efficient method of clearing the myriad of branches, I dump a dozen or so, the grab comes in pulls them away from the tree towards the chipper so the lads can get busy whilst I drop another load.

 

Works faster than parking the chipper closer and unpicking the pile by hand while I twiddle my thumbs.

Honestly connie bashing from a mewp was so much better than climbing, I actually really enjoyed it! 2 in basket, cut and Chuck.

Don't get the up the tree fag breaks that way though Mick. Sounds pretty efficient, 3 man team?

Three men and a machine, seems to be the magic combo.

 

Everyone working steady but consistently and efficiently.
