thats not what the client wanted though was it? depends how big a piece's you are rigging, cutting and chucking, and free falling a decent climber would nail that:biggrin: ready to fell???? have you lived and worked in multiple countrys to gain a balanced view?
-
just got some taiger goretex over trousers, my boss has had a pair for 3 years climbing, felling in them, and still good as new
-
they now need an appropiate sized mewp and take the tree down in handable pieces yeah right!
-
i dont know, i would have thought that to move the basket over the dropzone whilst holding onto the branch might be easier with 2 sets of hands-one moving one cutting and holding, im sure hse would prefer this method? i guess i must be old skool, climbing and all that dadio hasnt implied that this is the best way to do it, or worded anything to imply he is teaching, just videoed a straight foward job that he, an experienced tree worker, has completed. then explained in detail how he done the job. there are plenty more videos and pictures on this site doing work far more complex than this video, which no-one needlesly picks appart or says it shouldnt be posted because some newbie might think its the only way to do things

why isnt it this felling from 12ft acceptable??? so it would have pleased h&s more for 2 guys to be in a mewp all day, reaching out of a mewp, step cutting small sub 15kg pieces moving the basket to chuck into the dropzone, where more manual handeling would have had to take place. or dadio's way, using basic felling techniques to fell an evenly weighted tree, slight lean compensated by 2 pretensioned pulling lines into a clear area then use machines to deal with the lifting where i doubt anyone broke out in a sweat all day

Nice one, well done for being pro-active, have you tried contacting the likes of Aspen?
-
got any pics of the 110' leylandi?? sounds like a fell tbh, any pics of the split?

such as . . .

have you just left college? a tutor who went from reading the books to preaching the books? hse bod? so he broke with convention by felling the tree in a one'er, thats never been done before! un orthadox, yeah because in the real world we all climb like on our training assesments, what assesments do they have in the usa? perhaps that is orthadox? why cut pieces hand liftable when he had a machine on site to lift? escape route? he had pre tensioned 2 pull lines, watched for mov ement, moved away, then called for the final pull

Beautifull pics john!

i dont frequent other forums, so dadio has a clean slate with me on here, what in this video was dangerous? everything seemed calculated, everything went well. back cut is intresting, but just a diffrent technique from a diffrent country. keep the videos coming dadio, its intresting to me seeing diffrent techniques
-
-
just an after thought, using this 'explosive' technique seems less controlled than a pull line, and a regular back cut, which allows the cutter to manupilate the hinge to controll the fall off the tree by cutting more off one side of the hinge, altering the direction of fell by a fair few degrees. i see the benifit felling stems, but not whole trees. why do you prefer/did you choose this technique for this tree? its intresting to see diffrent techniques, and try to understand them!
-
perfect, thanks for that explination, simmilar to the stepped back cut like in the elm vid you put up then? (when felling the stems)
-
thats normal, makes the chain the right length depending on bar length
-
Nice fell can you re word/expand on this The bakcut was plunged, with a slight bypass of about 3" on the back strap release. This allowed the tree to move slightly towards the lay, but then stop, leaving the kerf of the lower backcut open about an inch Josh says thanks Dadio

Some sort of forwarder needed can anyone advise ?

why not an 18 tonner hiab lorry with grab? -
ditto, when you tie the bowline, stick a combi spanner in. "the bowline can seize on itself and make untying difficult. to lessen the problem of seizure from hard pulls, leave the top loop a little loose; in other words, dont tie the knot too tightly. A plastic or metal tapered pin can be inserted where the top loop forms around the line. After the knot is used, the pin can be removed, thus introducing slack in the knot and making it easier to untie after a hard pull. Such use of a tapered pin can be applied to many knots." from the fundamentals of general tree work, old skool book but loads of good ideas

summers day, slight breeze, that was the center of the tree which made the rest of the tree a pain to climb and rig over the road, hedge, well, carport, wires. inspected the limb off to the side, deep hole near the trunk, so i suggested pollarding with the failure as the new top keeping the fracture to show the story
