Means you have more hinge to break as well, which can make it harder...

Should have gone to Specsavers !

Nice big gob! A high lift wedge is a useful addition to the wedge arsenal as well lol
-
Didn't know you had a mate called Wobbly, Frosty...

Your pressure washer is a bit too powerful Steve
-
Doesn't work like that. Your gvw plus trailer weight cannot exceed 8250kg.

Section felled an Oak today, and at one stage was a long way from the lowering rope, so tried your method Steve and it worked a treat! Nice one mate. 28 years climbing and still learning...

If the the tree is covered in ivy it would have played a big part in it coming down in the winds, coupled with river undermining decayed roots, it didn't stand much chance...

There about 16m x 75cm dbh Should get them down in 3-4 m lengths.

Nice one, well done! -
I prefer to do my cuts on the sides rather than over and under, much less chance of the branch snapping off before you're ready to hold and throw it. Probably best not to do that on your test though!

Oh ha ha you lot! There was no picture, just seeing if the wood is of any use to anyone. Al

Got these to do in a couple of weeks near Dorking, Surrey. Can get the trunks down in reasonable pieces, any good for anyone?
-
And pull off the sky cables, telephone cables and alarm box cables in the process! lol
-
Just scrape it off! I use a garden hoe for this job, works really well. Here's one I did a couple of weeks ago: I always try to work from above, else you get eyeful if ivy crap and morter dust

Ok Rob, I'll go with that. Cheers.
-
Can't complain, booking into the New Year now, and looking forward to a few days off over Christmas.
-
I reckon you are right Rob with Alnus but looks more like incana from my book. Cheers..Al Edit - leaves aren't grey underneath so maybe not incana, but defo Alnus.
-
Cheers Rob, thought you might be along....
-
You asking or telling? I've not a clue on this one! How are you doing Neil anyway? Keeping busy?
-
That's the only picture I can do, sorry. The tree is in a front garden and has been pollarded a couple of years ago. I was asked to go round and price up to remove a Eucalyptus by a consultant!
-
Mmmm... Not sure about that. I thought Paulownia was opposite leaves?
-
Saw this today but can't figure it out. The buds are quite distinctive and the leaves are 10 x 9 cm so pretty big. Didn't have a camera at the time so could only snap a bit of branch off. Cheers....Al

I was wondering if the velcro can be changed to the other side, as I have spent the last 28 years climbing with my left hand controlling the hitch, and now, trying to use the right hand feels strange - also got to throw the rope over the branch the other way now as well....
