Hybrid Poplar Felling

[scotspine1]

Last weekend's job.....some footage of five large Hybrid Poplars being felled. The trees had become too large for the area they were growing in - shedding limbs on houses which were located about 15 ft away from the trees which were growing over the houses.

 

Four of the trees were felled from ground level, only one had to be climbed and topped out due to underground utilities in the felling zone. It was expected that the last tree's butt end would flip up, back cut was made, feller moved out of the danger zone then winched over using a Tirfor.

 

Hope you enjoy.......vid is 2 minutes long -

Nice work! How are you going to get all the timber out?

 

Thankfully all the timber and branches are staying onsite, little bit of tidy up - clear the stream etc/cut timber a bit smaller.....the best kind of jobs
