Depends how you work, if you have a 3 or 4 man team rigging is probably the way to go.

 

I've pretty much alway work as a team of two, I want my groundie chipping or dragging, not manning a rope. I cut and chuck 99.9% of all our trees, if there is some where to lower into, there is somewhere to chuck stuff, IMO.

 

I'm always amazed when I watch vids on here where people lower every thing, it would bore me to tears, I want to just keep cutting and get done, but every one is different :001_smile:

Do whichever works the best in the situation your in, sometimes rope through a natural crotch if its only a couple of bits, I dont see much point in setting pulleys lowering bollards up etc if you don't have to. If the jobs done nowts broke everyone is ok customer is happy and u got paid that's all you want. Don't see how you can dismantle every tree without some form of rigging though:confused1:

LOL. Come and do a weeks work for me. See you monday :lol:

 

And edit - Riggin is way faster, if I COULD cut and chuckeverything, it would have to all be ahella load smaller than I can tie off and rig in big bits. Wheres the argument? Why make life hard for yourselfd? Its hard enough already!

I rig alot more now, saves abuse on my elbows cutting & chucking.

 

If in small crews I self lower/take over to help the groundies. 90% natural crotch - the toys only come out when I need them

Come on get real. You live in the country, I live in the city.

 

I work in the land of terraced houses with tiny yards, we are a tiny island thats massively over populated, they idea of a yank claiming lack of space is hilarious, just look at your trucks :lol:
