Horse chestnut limb!!!! Customer was going to have it of as a 3m stump!! After removing 2.5/3m I think this was the better option! I think in total at a rough estimate we removed about 650kg a good 1/4 of a 7.5ton of chip and a few 6" lengths of timber. Cuts ranged between 4/6" diameter

Hi adam are you still avalible to subby climb? As my new business venture is joining another firm to make a big firm, basically the new company we have got a big big oak to tip reduce all round the other guy has looked at it and put 3 days on it but im thinking be better all round to have 2 climbers do it quicker and with less effort.

Job from a couple of weeks ago, been meaning to put it up on here but forgot all about it!!

 

2 decayed-ish Lombardy poplars the biggest being around the 80ft mk, I started taking photos after I came down for a drink and the first one had already been done.

 

I climbed up on my spikes and strop on the back one first, I didn't really fancy throw bagging my line in as a wanted to get a feel for how bad she was, so as I went up I stripped out anything that didn't need rigging and established a top anchor for myself and the rigging gear about 20ft from the tips, so around the 60ft mk. So after getting ready and getting a feel for how the tree was moving I decided to get the top out first, as the wind was picking up fairly bad and the movement in the stem wasn't great, this also allowed me to compensate anything I was going to rig when I jumped across to dismantle the other poplar.

 

So the first picture is just the remaining back tree with its top removed, you can probably just spot the rigging block at the top.

 

A little closer with the second smaller tree already on the floor.

 

The felled butt of the smaller one, the fence backed on to a closed footpath and both trees where leaning quite heavily towards to neighbouring houses.

 

Couple of pictures of the first smaller stump, although the decay doesn't look quite as bad there, the smaller tree still had the height at about 65/70ft with quite a bit of wind sail in the canopy

 

 

The first decay shot of what I'll call the rear of the bigger poplar, from a guess the rot had started from an old pollard/topping cut.

 

Just a picture if the setup

 

So one of the old topping cuts on the big tree, which I'm pretty sure had lead both of the trees to a similar sticky end

 

Rigging down the last few bits of brash, you probably could of felled a few big bits out but with the wind quite strong and poplar having the tendency to fly where it wants then rigging was a better option to minimise damage, and yes the trees were in bad health but I was happy and felt safe enough.

 

So just a couple more, me chogging down the stem and a couple of views, all down on the floor by 12:10pm all ready for dinner
