Hillside Fir Take down

[RC0]

This 250 year old fir was unfortunately in the way of a soon-to-be house. There was also another biggish, be that, easy one on the site to be removed, along with a bunch of medium sized trees. The owners of the land were only prepared to pay for 2 x days work for 3 men. So the order was ‘get done what you can in that time and we’ll deal with the rest’. The Tree Company had to guarantee that all the trees would be down though....and the majority of brush chipped in that time. I was brought in on the second day to deal with the leaning fir.

 

Vid is 13 mins but worth a watch.

 

Use HD setting

Good show reg, what was the big saw 3120?

[Pete Mctree]

Good job reg. The stem really took off down the hill - looked an awkward fell

[Steve Bullman]

glad to see you have ivy to contend with over there aswell

Anyone wanting to build a house there must have one leg longer than the other.

Had to guarantee all trees on deck and majority of brush chipped, most of the job then:001_huh:

 

Love watching your zip lining, runs smoothly, you always make it look so simple. Great job Reg.

[RC0]

Thanks.

 

Correct Ian, with mods.

 

Nothing to stand on the fall side Pete, so yes it was awkward to use the saw with all those roped in the way.

 

Ivys great Steve. Every tree should have some.

[Rich Rule]

Great stuff Reg.

 

I managed to watch it at lunchtime whilst I was having a break from the nightmare conifer job I was on. Oh, it was cold and snowing also...

 

Your vid cheers me up. At least until I had to climb back in the dirty bloody hedge

[Pinkfoot]

You do nice work mate.

Excuse my ignorance, when you tie on each branch and send it down, how do you get the strops back again for reuse and how many do you have attached to you at the start??
