Oak dismantle

[Philmypower]

Took my gopro in last week whilst dismantling an oak. Tree had a big split in a limb leaning towards the HV power lines so the landowner wanted it out.

This was also my first dismantle using my zigzag which worked great.

Bit brave putting on arbtalk. Go easy on me.

nice, looks a bit wet under foot though! how many dents did you leave in the ground lol What you think of the 540? not seen much about them or any vids but sounds almost the same as my 560 with the raker's filed down!

Real tree work there mate.

Tough day for the groundies I bet, flat out.

What do you think of that saw?

[Philmypower]

Cheers boys, I love my 540. To be honest it's not as good as a 200 but defiantly better than a 201

Ill bet your groundcrew hate you~!

I know what it's like to be a groundie but I was told just get it down and they'll sort it as it was last job of the day.

[mistahbenn]

Fair play mate!

Done loads like that Phil, climbing and grounding.

It's hell on the groundies because you are swamping them on a muddy site, but what can you do?

If you waited for each limb to be cleared, then the wind picked up you'd be f'd.

Deck it, get down and all get stuck into the clearup works best sometimes.
