Im with Nige on this one, the 110 and 130 share same cab and running gear, still tow 3.5t, only difference is the Hi-cap rear tub being longer and wider. The 110 dbl cab is capable of carrying 4 or 5 crew couple of sets of climbing kit, several saws, tools etc in the tub. Only downfall being you cant get anything in thats 6 foot long! Even diagonally:blushing:

You saying after beer 'o clock she is posting in my name:crying:

Manage to get a very large stock of loops for all my current saws each APF. Seem to be cheaper per link than reel price:tongue_smilie: Any new saws with different chains on from local dealer, but special, ie ripping chain from Net.

I cant beat the chicken Matt, but went into my office the other day and found this;
-
I sure do agree with you and Ed Tom as far as reliability of dead wood holding on when dismantling, my comments were to do with having the attitude of "expecting" damage!
-
If the crane was used as Ed says, this would not have happened! There is nearly always a way of avoiding damage, not expecting it! Cant believe you would expect damage when you had a crane coming anyway!

I was thinking he could have a go on my mill for a day:lol:

I was just about to give Lofty a house point for £1170, but then saw he deducted the milling:w00t: Just out of interest, why would you do that Dean? I see you maybe wavered a little later in the thread though:001_unsure:
-
Oh, as for the price, going on what most have said i might sound a bit expensive, but its £1k. Just need to look back now to see who was nearest:sneaky2:

Ok then, only really posted this for a bit of interest, just goes to show how different people view things to suit the individual set up they have. Just to clarify, there is no vehicular access to the tree, but a crane could reach, however price for such to remove stems would counteract value of timber i suspect. I told the customer we could remove the tree all in one day if it was ringed for firewood, and that is what the price was based upon. However, i did explain that i could leave the stems for another day, and spend extra time planking them up, and therefore find a better use for the timber, as elm in this size is getting harder to find. They were delighted to here there could be a better use for it, and therefore my extra time milling is my decision, therefore my bonus if its good wood. Otherwise, its logs:cool1:
-
Access is approx 15-20meters to gate. Stump is to be left. I plan on 3 men one steady day getting it all down, chipping done, all logs cross-cut and away, stem down. Leaving anything that will mill for later as a bonus:thumbup1: Opinions are good, so what "bonus" do you think i should expect for the milled stuff? Oh, its not for advice, i have the job, i can tell you the price later....... When you all give up:tongue_smilie:

After seeing the thread on pricing a big elm by Highland Forestry, I thought of this job i have to do. I find its always interesting putting a topic up on pricing as everyone has different views, and certainly prices! This Elm is around 70+ feet with little canopy, a nice 3feet DBH soon forking into two. The larger stem is nice and straight to over 25 feet. The crown needs rigging out, access is is not too bad and the stem will clear fell. Whats your opinions on this one then? Prices, milling opportunities, just out of interest;

Smart looking box that, any ideas what sort of weight it is?
-
Yep, pics would be good, we all likes pics:001_tt1:

Robin hoods bay is great, but not buggy friendly at all is it! All the car parks seem to be at the top of a hill and the shops and beech etc, down the hill!

Now my mouth is watering, sad arent I?

How about you Kev, what was your time?
-
That was fast Jay, i would like one with high sides like the one in pictures 11 and 12 on my link.

Found this conversion specialist, just wondered if anyone else used or heard of them? Not much in the way of prices, but have asked for a price list. Look like they do a variety of boxes. 4x4 / Tree Surgeon Tippers - Auto-Lift Uk Ltd Anyone know of any other good manufacturers?

Whats a goat, does it taste like sheep?

Get yourself a beer and worry again on tuesday:beer: Sounds like you made it safe with temp bracing and reduction of weight/sail. No one can have a go at you for that!
-
If that crack is opening like you say it dont look good mate. If you are hapy you made it safe for now, leave it till the TO is back next week, ring him and let him make the decision. If he says its safe or recommends bracing etc, the nuce(sp) is round his neck:thumbup:
-
Looks like included union cause of the failure. Perhaps reduction should have been carried out years ago:sneaky2:
-
If i may sound a bit harsh here, please forgive me, but going on the pics it appears you have removed lower branches from the main leader that has split away. In my opinion, removing these brances was not totally correct. The end loading should have been removed, ie in the higher canopy to reduce the leverage. Just my obs.
