light reductions

[MattyF]

I've found with reductions as long as there is no pressure to get it done in stupid time they are usually the climbs I enjoy.

I find when I arrive I look up and think what a ball ache...

 

It is only a mental thing though. I just convince myself to get on with it. I tell myself the more I cut the less I have left to cut. I must admit though when they are finished and look good (like yours does) I enjoy the feeling.

Agree mate.

I am, as a general rule, a bit sniffy about these light reductions, on beech however they are the right thing to do, and that's a very nice job, we all know that "tickles" are amongst the most difficult tasks in tree work. Getting all the way out, trying to visualise the overall shape whilst in an awkward position.......

Thought of another one, stuff getting hung up cos it's not heavy enough to force its way down.

Thats an awesome job adam, hopefully one day i'll be able to achieve something as good as that!

How long did it take you?

I like to take a good look at the tree first of to get a sense of where I need to be and cut, that way there's a little less thinking evolved up the tree.

Cheers dude,

 

Your time will come, but it does take time to get a feel for where you need to be positioned and what to leave and where to cut ect.

 

A good solid 5 1/2 hours climbing a few pit stops re fuels dinner ect we got setup by 8:30 and was left by 3:15

A proper crown reduction imitates nature and that certainly does.

IMO it's the most difficult job in Arboriculture to get right and you appear to have mastered it.

I would give a job in a flash.

Where are you based?

Looks like you single lined it? Do you use that for all reductions?

[silky fox]

Your using a Unicender there Adam? Immaculate work. Your Passion for tree work and climbing especially SRT shines through in everything I see you do mate!

[David Humphries]

Very nice work Adam, thanks for sharing and resurrecting the thread.

 

I understand this wasn't your job/spec, but I'm curious as to why you don't know the reason for it being undertaken?

 

Maybe I read your comment wrong?

 

Aesthetics fair enough, but sructural issues you'd want to be aware of, no?
