    Excellent work pete, first time I did a crane removal was nerve racking, but well worth it when you see how quickly and easily a big tree can be brought down. Good idea to switch to the slings. What cuts were you usng for the vertical sections?

    Does anyone know where I can get a winch fitted to a Nissan D22 Pick-up in Scotland or the north of England? Thank you.

    it was all filmed with one of these, for the stuff up the tree, I just did the back cut, switched the saw off then pushed with one hand and filmed with the other.

    Thanks for the positive feedback everyone. SBTC - nearly all of it was filmed on a small compact digital camera bob - Re felling high - normally just find the most comfortable position for felling then deal with the stump after the stem has been cut up.

    That may be so steve, but rupe and one of Monkeyd's boys are now on the list.

    Thats cool mate, its just that you posted that follow up pic of you one handing the 88 on the crosscut as if your promoting techniques that look half-arsed like they're the new current industry best practice.

    You accept it's an error, but you dont want to correct the error or you just can't be bothered?
  11. scotspine1
    Rupe, you seem like a good climber, can't understand why you would post a pic of yourself cutting with only one tie in point. On a big piece like that there's no excuse for not flipping your secondary lanyard round the stem below where your cutting. Or am I wrong? It just doesnt add up - all that quality gear, great rigging techniques but no second tie in point?!?

    Interesting viewing - guy fells top out of tree from scaffolding - main action is at 45 secs in. [ame= ] [/ame]

    Are you syaing that people who cut and hold dont live a full and happy life?........ .......your probably right.
  14. scotspine1
    rupe, how come you only got one tie in point?
  15. scotspine1
    Thats because the rope they were using wasn't strong enough and they took too big a piece.

    Wasn't that in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?

    I take it that you didn't get payed as much as you would've liked?

    I've always used a half hitch followed by a running bowline, like the set up in this pic -

    Nice work Martyn, like turning up to storm damage- you've got to have your wits about you when dealing with a situation like that. Hope you charged them loads. Why is there a hunchback walking on that dropped stem and whose the creeping jesus overseeing the work at the wheelie bins?

    Fflint, If your going to get into treework, the first thing you need to know is that treework is 90% about people and 10% about trees. If your good with people you'll be a success. .

    good example of rushed climbing, unnecessary random cuts, hand held one piece then free falls another, no back up when using the saw, could have rigged out that whole branch with one cut.

    Lee, re tipper - can't understand why didn't go for something classy like this? hilux
  23. scotspine1
    Sounds like you missed your calling in life Dean, you'd make great lawyer. What about suing a developer who failed to follow the minimum fencing distances (RPA) from BS5837 and gouged a trench through some structural roots next to the trunk, the tree falls at a year later and kills someone - could you sue him? or A developer fails to follow minimum fencing distances(RPA) and causes damage by allowing cement to leach into the soil within the dripline - the tree dies a year later after the people have moved in - could the tenants sue for loss of tree?

    Lee, too late to cancel the ranger? could have gone with the Navara Kingcab to go with the Pathfinder.....
