Felling big stuff

[JimM]

The estate has a 10 tonne forwarding trailer, Mark. Failing that we'll get it trucked to the sawmill.

They have their own mill (the building in the background is the original sawmill), but don't think the guys there have dealt with anything of that DBH yet!

 

 

My money is on the plant pot being safe. The tenant is moving out next week.

If its 1 rd in then felling it down the track may create a bigger problem for dealing with it.

Is the Heizo crane fed?

You have seen the job, your original suggestion is likely to be the best.

The estate may have the kit , but if they have not been involved in a large takedown it could be mayhem and frustrating on the ground.

2 climbers, you on the deck co ordinating men and machinery would be a less macho more methodical way

imo.

The estate sound very well equipped and on the ball, hence why they called you.

[JimM]

I've got a few weeks to work it out Stevie. The guys on the estate are good and I've known and worked with them for a while, plus I have two other climbers. There is track access in to the garden to the right of the plant pot so I've got room to breathe.

 

To be honest I'm more excited about rec-climbing it. It sits well above the Findhorn River and there will be tremendous views north to the Black Isle and west towards Inverness. One to video I think.

Like stevie said it will create more of a problem on the deck,Plus smash all the other wee trees in front of it,Strip it out in big bits for the hezio,then fell the trunk down the track.

[face cord]

Shame to fell such a pretty giant tree.

 

I know its not what client wants, but theorectically do you reckon you could crown lift or even top a tree like this or would it end up looking crappy?

Out of interest, are you sure it's a Hemlock not a Macrocarpa?

[atree]

Looks like a hemlock to me,macro's dont grow tall and straight like that.

[slack ma girdle]

Yep, big winch, in a oner...

 

Complete with lunge on top of all large machinery used.

They do in devon; especially in a hedge.

[JimM]

No, the leaves are all wrong for Macro. It's a Hemlock. Think its western but wouldn't put money on it.

 

Plenty of lunge practice I think.
