I am not going to question your abilities, i'm sure you could, but would the sheds and summer houses remain in the same shape.....?

Hard to say wether or not it can be straight felled judging by that pic, it could be right beside a road for all we know.

 

 

My plan of attack would be to arrange with a friend of mine who's a farmer to come and collect the whole tree with a couple of tractors and trailers ( one with loader ). The timber is their payment for firewood, for which they need, all i have to do is get the county and winch there to put slight tension on the tree as felling it with a thick back hinge in a controlled manner, once the tree is down it is cross cut into 8' lenghs and loaded into the trailers, so my efforts will take me 2 hours max, the removal of the tree is their part. No fuss no bother and very little costs involved, my price £800. No need for chippers either as i said they will take the whole tree. All this is agreed with all parties before hand,

That brings me on to plan B. Wait of some heavy rainfall, fell into river, go home. Easy!

That's more like it:thumbup1: Did you have anything to do with the Beech which snapped in half outside pixie land? Strange place for it to break off- looked quite sound wood??

No idea what the story with that was, driving past it does look weird, hasn't been that windy recently either......pixies???

Yep, could have been, didn't think of them. Perhaps it was blocking out their sunlight.

Could have been nasty if it had landed the other way though/ no more Pixieland:001_huh:

I've been asked to quote for dismantling this beech tree and if I'm honest it's a bit trickier than anything I've taken on before. The right hand half is over a river just out of shot on the left is a building. Has good access for mewp. I'm thinking either get a contract climber in, hire a mewp or pass the job on to one of the larger local firms. Any thoughts? Thanks [ATTACH]170689[/ATTACH]

4 of us did this yesserday, 2 climbers (Myself and Stu) and Haforbes and his pal Jim as groundies. I dismantled the beech, it was completely enveloped in moss and had sizable diameter ivy growing right thru it. Overall it was not very sound with heavily laden weak limbs that had to be rigged out. It was alot of work. Stu did a superb dismantle on the very large/tall conifer type thing so all was good. It was a long day for me as i set off at 6.15am and got home at 8.15pm with a couple of ton of beech wood on the Ifor. Really enjoyed meeting and working with more tree people and establishing future contacts. Cheers folks.
