Lime tree removal

[Mesterh]

Top videos.

 

I love taking limes down, light and quick to cut.

what music were you playing on the first video,i liked it. nice rigging by yourself and also by your groundys on the other end.

great vid reg. just wondering though, was speedlining out of the question? might have been easier than tag lining every piece?

Nice work Reg, don't you just love customers who can't make their minds up!

 

At least, with the tree coming down now, it should pacify the hysterical Aussie/US anti topping contingent.

Frank/Nick, used all but about a metre of 60m lowering line….so the height would be half of that measurement + whatever was above the rigging point.

 

Tim, we used a 12mm lowering line for that tree.

The beech, which has again now been put back until the end of Feb will mostly have to be rigged….although I’m optimistic about being able to free fall that last remaining 70ft or so of timber.

 

atree, it appears that some lowlife from one of these forums has been reporting me for breach of copyright in regards to inclusion of such tracks on some of the videos…so I hope you don’t mind me holding back on that one. Unfortunately the internet and especially the forums are safe havens’ for all kinds of cowardice and this is but one example.

 

Steve, if I could have just turned the tree ninety degrees to the right, a slide-line would have been far more favourable. If I’d had the option of taking bigger sections then that would’ve have worked out quicker than conventional lowering also, as there’s only so much a single guy can generate on a pull line after-all…..but such was the amount of apparent movement down at the bottom that Sean (groundsman) was already a bag of nerves, so I didn’t want to add to that.

 

Carl, the incentive to retain that trunk was more to do with conservation rather than aesthetics or even retaining a live tree….but consider that the tree was already backed on to a couple of acres of mature woodland then it didn’t seem as meaningful. I’ll bet its still stood up though when I go back at the end of Feb.

 

Thanks again

Another top vid Reg. Like others I always look forward to a new entry from you. Loved the bits of commentary and especially looking at the groundsman standing around, I know what you mean, nothing more frustrating than that:mad1:

 

Looking forward to that beech and keep em coming mate.

 

Good job:001_smile:

Another classic Reg, first post i looked at after getting back from my hols.

No criticism intended as I know you're a bit of a pioneer when it comes to experimenting with new rigging ideas so here's an old one...

Just out of interest any reason for not using a second pulley to take the lowering line away a bit further? I've been pushing my luck with second pulleys on thinner and thinner branches waiting for one to go, still not bust one (using common sense), so long as the angle of the rope is 45 degrees plus it seems almost anything goes, particularly when you can take all the slack / stretch out of the system with the hobbs.

Love the commentary about the groundie standing around - why do they always do that?!? grr!
