    I've been using these velcro pads with metal inserts in for years and years. There's loads of padding and i would recommend them to anyone. I got them from 'Freeworker' in Germany , there not cheep though ,around the 100 quid mark but well worth it if it's what you do for a living.I'm sure someone will sell them over here.

    The land owner said it was 10 years worth of horses having a go at it (should have been fenced off long ago) strange cos most of the other trees had been .

    Cheers Patchwork,i agree with you ,but it was just in the wrong place for the owner ,it stuck out like a tird in a swimming pool, and drew your eyes to streight to the tree ,but i see where your coming from 100%.

    I hope it sorts it out but it could go either way ,there was only a few inches left in 1 place, the horses had ring -barked nearly all the way round:mad1: I suppose it's a good thing the owner was keen to try and save it and not just fell it! Fingers crossed ,time will tell.

    I've been looking around for a while for a 12v hiab/viper to mount on a ifor tipper(crazy money second hand) ,but i think this crane would be a better option,i'll have to check the weight of it first. I saw a trailer/crane at the apf ,the guy was saying the draw bar on a ifor was'nt up to the job and he wishes he had a quid for every time someone asked if the crane would fit on one.

    Can anybody recommend suitable mini forwarders for the task I liked the look of this one it's a jms900r trailer with a 900 sr crane on . Made by rico so they have been around for while (we used to have a rico wopa chopa, brush cutter years ago) The guy who Lee knows would be able to help you out i'm sure.

    That it was!, I went back over to the left of the pick after i took the tops out , and tryed to make it look a bit more natural . But it 's never going to be as good as before,probably should have left the tops in but thats what he got advised to have done.There was a huge Magnolia right underneath ,that he did,nt want flattening ,i thought about lowering it (for about a second) so i let them go ,luck was on my side and everyone was happy.

    I have not done a lot over here, this was a Silver Fir I did in Germany in 2002 in the grounds of a drug clinic () I think we used Libra and then went on to Cobra.we took a few feet of the top and put a fairly loose brace in about two thirds up to stop swaying .There was a third stem that had snapped off where the 30m tracked cherry picker dropped me off at full reach (!) ... I was glad to get out of the cherry picker - I think it swayed more than the tree!

    The winch is home made.The old boy in the picture built it , he got the drum from the RAF. It was used for pulling large aircraft off runways when their under carriages had failed I think! He put a 300-1 reduction box on it,mounted it on a frame and put a massive set of spades on .It's very slow but wont stop at anything .Biggest problem is getting the rope up the tree ,you get to 40 ft up and a 1" rope is blooming heavy!He has plans to build a more powerfull one (i dont know why)and mount it on a driven trailer.
