Thanks

 

Mark, I had a shat load of winching and chipping to finish from an underbid Leyland cypress the day before. Left the chipper on the next doors driveway so was worried his wife would get upset and tell us we'd have to move. It was playing on my mind. Last place I needed to be was messing around up that tree.

 

Probably 30 mins or more to get up....but a lot of messing around before actually getting to the tree with gear on the quad, then trying to get the lines up. You can big shot 90ft to the first limb, but when it's 2 ft across its often hard to get the throw weight to come back down, because of the friction on the line caused by the thick mossy bark. When you're short on time, it's a wind up. The whole thing
