Last photie. Looks a bit sketch to me woody. Is that bucket holding the whip? Nylon line...yup, lifted marine inboard engines out on that stuff but it can melt...why not fell it toward the open ground from the lateral?

Bucket not holding whip as was well away picture not showing how far away it was, could not fell on to lawn as tree own didn't want hole in shrub boarder and if i could of would of felled in one with lower limbs removed. Got 2 more larger ones to do at same property and they can be felled

True enough....not dissing yer skills. Ye just can never tell from a one dimensional flat photo woody. Ever put a Dutchman in to turn it where ye want it to go? It's an art. Shrubbage aside. 'Hole in shrub border'

Eucalyptus from last week lots to miss shed, oil tank fence and large shrub boarder. Then wind got up and MEWP not got enough height.

 

 

Plenty of targets, adding a MEWP in the mix can make the job harder IME (especially one that isn’t big enough). Any reason it couldn’t be climbed?

Adding the MEWP made it hatder slightly. As for not climbing it  I did if you look at pictures,

Would that be missing mowers and unwanted pregnancies ?  K

Did have a long running joke with an old boy and hs manor house, near Thirsk.  Our young groundie pointed out his pregnant cat, which the man then blamed him for - every couple of years we went back to dead wood his avenue of Limes  ?  K

Large ash tree we did this morning rigged most of the limbs due to fence directly underneath the tree then sent a big top felled remaining but back in to the woodland this tree was completely hollow from about 20ft up the stem to the top wear it split into two and even they were hollow [emoji19]
