oak removal

[John Shutler]

started this Oak removal in november of last year, we did half a day on it then went back to it yesterday to finish it off. It was a solid 4ft at the base and was causing damage to the stables below. Interesting removal, plenty of rigging over the stables and crashed out as much as we could onto the waste ground on one side.

used the boxer to control the tag line and pull stuff over the roof as it was lowered with the GRCS. Felled the stem with a tirfor winch and left it where it fell. all brash and cord in the waste ground was stacked in habitat piles and larger timber was left where it landed

Good work John, big tree.

 

What caused the big delay in finishing?

 

Must be loving the GRCS/Boxer combo on stuff like that.

boxer/GRCS combo is sweet. the ability to pull large pieces while lowering them really opens up options and saves messing around having to lower small stuff that you can pull with a tag line by hand. also makes long pulls achievable

 

customer wanted the tree started before i went to NZ, but was happy to wait for it to be finished
