Is this safe to climb and rig off

[Mortimer Firewood]

this!

just because i tend to fell one or 2 a year and don't trust myself to do it well!

 

I'd make sure I had a rope in the top attached to the truck

yeah just going off my own skill level/Experience !

I prune on the highway of which 99% is free fall and only get to do other stuff when doing my own private work so i prefer to climb than straight fell

and only fell the straight forward stuff

from what i have read and been taught by other arborist is be safe and work within your skills or bring someone who can do it for you

i wouldn't want to snatch anything off that, i'd just get up and drop a top then chog it down.

I wouldn't rig it even if it was sound, just chog it onto the wood chipped area, why trash the grass???????

[Tim Stobart Tree Surgery]

Climb and chog. Simple.

Completely agree nowt wrong in getting some one with more experience I'll openly admit if I fell with a 260 362 460 I can put it where I want it once I get up to 660 or a long bar I am not as accurate.

To help save the lawn have you got some ply wood or bags of rubbish from other jobs to act as a brash mat it may take 30mins of setting up but if you don't have dents to sort. Just a thought but also consider having your main line in another tree in case the worse should happen you can get out of dodge very quickly.

I would not have climbed it, in my opinion the risk is to great compared to the reward. My way of doing that would be to hire a cherry picker.

[Nick Connell]

Iam with you Stefan. Cherry Picker for me to please

Put the rigging gear up the bigger tree next to it.
