Cutting back a Walnut to some previous cut points today. I wish I owned one of them caravan easy movers as pushing the MEWP uphill through a tight arch/alley way wasn’t fun.

Nice bit of retopping, walnuts seem to withstand it well.

 

Dont understand the need for a mewp, but hey-ho.

We’re not climbing yet. We’ve started a new tree team within a big housing company. H&S don’t want any climbing until they have all the necessary H&S...things.

 

So in the meantime...just cherrypickers,pole pruners and fells.

Fair enough.

Couple of tall drawn up ash that had grown in the steps of a medieval canal feed thing of an old monastery or some shit like that.

Anyway, breaking the wall would have been V. bad juju.

 

Bit of rigging, bit of chucking, then the telescopic boom saves a lot of cutting and handballing to get it back over the water.

It looks like a bit more engineering went into that feeder than there did to this one at the end of the Leek Arm of the Caldond canal....... yes, that's it on the right.

A couple from yesterday’s job and the clear up of the timber/stump this morning.

 

It was quite nice taking the backseat on the job and letting the lads work it out (I basically dragged, chipped and ground the stump). Always nice when they’ve got ahead and decide to let one of the other lads practice too. I sometimes forget that we need time to practice when time pressures are on a job.

Big tree Ian, could an arrangement not have been made with the Farmer to flop it into the field when it has no crops planted?
