Today's put together from a few weeks back, again a little different as no climbing because I'd forgotten the camera the day before when we stripped out the back of the tree over the tennis courts to bias the balance.

Tree was removed on the councils recommendation after a large amount of Cambus started to die off and some of the main forks were compromised following a lightening strike.

Enjoy

wow that job was well thought out - extra 3 days for me without tractor crane

 

Is there any way that tree could have been pulled over without the day before cutting?

[Gray git]

Possibly but would have needed a much bigger winch with spades which would have done quite a bit of ground damage as there was more crown on the far side than this due to a large oak being this side till that went a few months back.

The risk of whichever stem you anchored to failing without bringing the whole tree over was a worry and as it happens we still put a floating v onto the two main stems just to make sure the load was spread.

14m3 of chip and 3 trailer loades of timber so was a deceptively large crown on it.

Nice vid John

I didn't realise how much strain is on the tractor till you see her moving about
