Cheers for that Reg. Ive always wanted to give a crane a go but so far all the jobs we've done we've been able to rig and dismantle or use a mewp. I imagine it does save time but the client must be willing to absorb the extra cost of the crane. Will have a look at your other videos and hopefully at some point will find an occasion that we can get a crane job in. Tully

Lovely stuff. When you make the cut on the top section do you step cut of just cut through as the crane lifts? Ive never used a crane before and i always wonder about how the climber knows how the but end is going to react when its cut. By this I mean the butt end of the tree..... Is there training in using a crane?

Thanks for the PMs have answered all i think. We are in Drayton so close to Norwich. At the moment there is about 5 plus transit loads of wood on the deck and another 7 plus in the air which will be down by thursday next week. Diameter ranges from 3 inch to 20 as we are chipping in a TW 125 PH.

Agree with you Rupe on the 5% rule. But in my eyes quotations will always be free and you cannot guarantee that you will win them all. I would like to know if there is anyone out there who charges to quote or just gives a price over the phone. The annoying quotes are the ones that are miles and miles away that end up being £120 worth of work. We normally tell people who contact us from afar our half day and day rate so they know what to expect before we turn up.

I think you should try all types of advertising to see what works best for you. When you get an inquiry ask where they heard of you and this way you will quickly find what works best in you region. We advertise online, in magazines and are yet to try fliers but have been tempted to. Word of mouth is now starting to kick in and definitely is the best form of advertising but is the hardest to build up. To be honest better than ad words on google is to just make your site come up on page 1 for all key word searches you want to be seen for. '**Mike**TreeSurgeryWebGuy' a member on here does this for us and he has delivered the results we want ranking 1st in many of the searches we want to be top of. His site is Weberr.com.

How often do you change them on your timberwolf Mark. I feel like mine need a change soon. -
Loads in India. Entire forests where they cant work out where the tree begun as the aerial roots have moved a tree over 50 meters from where it began.

Good post Lee. The human world has seriously gone wrong..hope we can learn from our lessons before its to late.

I believe you can only offer the waste back to the neighbor, you are not entitled to dump it on her property. I agree with all the sensible, legal suggestions on here and if for any reason you do poison or damage the tree it would be unfortunate if it were to fall on your house..

prehaps you should stop stalking so they let you back on..

Gibbon. Yes. More so after having a child and realizing that its not just you that you need to worry about. I seem to have a shady moment or 2 every year when I question what I'm doing but as all the guys say this is what keeps you thinking and keeps your mind on all the possible out comes of your actions. In the case of a tree like this.If your worried of a break, I would climb with 2 lines (and a lanyard) on 2 high anchor points. I did this today on a veteran field maple that was the biggest field maple Ive ever seen, and it was in a real state. Like Skyhuck said. The worse case scenario would be a swing but with 2 lines you wouldn't have to climb above your anchor point unlike his very artistIC drawing

We are looking for a sub contracting climber to work a full day monday 17th January 3 miles out of Norwich. Please only get in touch if you are experienced and confident in your ability to take on big woodland trees. If you would like to meet up before hand to see the trees we have to work on then it can be arranged. either pm me or reply on this thread. Cheers

We get taught a range of cuts. Split level cut - leaves holding wood that can be broken in the same way but IMO is less complicated. I wonder how much time is saved not finishing a cut to ground level. Again to cut the stump flush would have taken 5 - 10 mins at the most after the fell. Again well done for trying new techniques, hopefully you will discover something we all think is valuable. In this case I think the simple ways are often safer and more predictable. Good luck

Stihl 200T is a very good industry standard climbing saw. Rugged and robust with good power. Where husqvarna have got it right is that they shape the back of the saw. When you are climbing this makes pulling it past branches a lot easier than the flat backed 200T. If I remember right it is also lighter which is good when climbing as long as it can deliver on power and quality. I never liked the chain brake design on the husqvarna climbing saw. Hope they improve the design.

The Mighty Oak V's The Beautiful beech
Tully replied to Tony Croft aka hamadryad's topic in General chat
Well Tim and I have one in the pipe line so if you want to come all the way to north Norfolk then let us know and we will book it in. The beech there are the best in Norfolk in my opinion, also some great Quercus including Quercus sobur and also a Fagus sylvatica heterophylla (sorry for lazy spelling). There is a beech there that looks like the elephant man! I reckon bring some climbing kits for some stealthy climbs. -
The Mighty Oak V's The Beautiful beech
Tully replied to Tony Croft aka hamadryad's topic in General chat
Interesting thread. Keep it coming. Tim, have you got any pics of the Mighty Beech at Northrepps? If not will have to get some for this thread. I favor both species for different reasons.
