The tractor would mess up a verge I think. Two thirds of the hedge is on the street front so reasonably accessable, the rest is down the side and round the back of the house. I was mainly wondering about the usefulness of getting a mewp in for a hedge this size and if it'd be much more productive or not. Thanks again for your advice.

Hello, I've got approx 140m of lleylandii hedge to reduce by half to a height of 3m. I usually just clamber through them but don't fancy doing this this time. Does anyone have an opinion as to whether a mewp or scaffold would be best for this? Cheers, Mark.

Also, throwing the line over and tying it off meand you get the maximum amount of leverage on the stem.

As above, get a tree consultant in to assess the decay and take it from there.
