I have not been shying away from commenting, i have been wondering how to respond to everyones comments (bearing in mind, its the most I have every had).

 

I'd like to say thanks for them all, even if some didn't think it was a large poplar. I have to tell you though, down here in little old wales, anything over 50ft could be consider a large tree.

 

This is due to the westerly winds that we get down here, making most of the coastal trees look like something out of a Tim Burton film. The further you head in land, the taller they get.

 

For the reason why we couldn't fell the whole thing in one (which would have been more fun) just simply not enough room and the climber decided on rigging off the last few chunky sections of timber, which we didn't have a problem with. I edited out a few bits of rigging, it wasn't just that one lump.

 

As for the LBT (little blue tractor) as we call it, the thing is a cracking piece of equipment. Being able to move brash, timber, dumpy bags and even a stump grinder once, is speeding up jobs no end but we mainly use it back at our yard.

 

So thanks again, look forward to doing more videos on the LBT sometime soon

 

cheers

That's what I wondered, along with:

Why rig bits off then fell the stem onto the lawn?

Why rig bits off then drive a tractor all over the lawn?

I'm not criticising, just curious about the approach.
