Ideas please on pulling this monster over!

[Jonny Burch]

Evening all!

 

Was asked by the local church to put in a price for removing this...

 

With it being right next to the neighbouring field there's a chance it can be felled. Don't think my RB has the guts to tug it over!

 

I'll await your suggestions gentlemen!

same as what carl said

[Gary Prentice]

Turfor and a ground anchor. ( deadman )

Any kind of tractor or decent winch will have that no problem. The back weight doesn't look too bad in the pic, but I'd hate to price a job off a picture...

Ditto.

 

I presume you've actually looked at the tree and you're not pricing of the pic?

I done a back leaner the other day. Removed some weight of the back and felled and pulled with a tirfor. I was lucky that there was a good tree to anchor winch but I have never used a ground anchor. Big 4 wheel drive tractor I think

Why has it got to come right down?

If felling winch tractor with anchor.

[Jonny Burch]

Yes I've looked at the tree. Had Al Cormack with me this evening looking at it too. The owner of the field needs to give permission however!! If they don't then it's lots of rigging to do!

Which also leads to the question... Who has a winch tractor near guildford?!?!
