What the poplar??? I think its just the angle that makes hinge look mahoosive. T'was a wedge job that.
-
Thats what she said. What I did was switched from one to the other quickly taking out a bit more back until one started the gentle decsent and then hammered through the other to follow.
-
or is a stuntfell literally when you have priced to dismantle and then turn up in the morning and cant be arsed so just knock it down in a one-er????
-
Can a stunt fell involve gobbing out 2 or more trees then getting back cuts done just right so they fall together???
-
-
Hopefully getting an Iphone next week, do they make an arbtalk app for it, then I could hammer some serious posting.

diamond encrusted chain brake handle.
-
Or maybe the older generation are loosing their marbles and have got confused, whereas us young whipper snappers have it all fresh in our memories.
-
awww, i wouldve bought it stright away, but its not for the faint hearted and uses stihl oil, so that counts me out. Sorry.
-
Best thing would be do what I do, never clean your saws out then the gunk that builds up in the bar groove will stop this happening.
-
Oh I get it now sorry, yeah haha. erm........ I reckon the problem is conifer sap on the handle. Clean it with some turps. Works everytime.
-
i cant wait for the first person to try this stunt fell malarky properly and strop themselves to the top whilst the groundie finishes the back cut. Im guessing the feeling would be similar to Deano's mewp incident.
-
Loose chains and idle control set high would cause the chain to run on.
-
How does an un-sharp chain cause it to run on????
-
Yup, and we all know that you set up that rig for the camera after you had crashed the limb straight through the hedge. haha.
-
why didnt you just tie the rope to the branch put a snap cut in it and get your groundie to yank it, creating a stunt fell involving climbing and groundies. The groundie would take the flack if it hit himself or landed on the hedge, and he would have to drag it off the hedge aswell, cos thats his job, win win. Might not look very "pro" if customers were watching so you would have to create a "stealth stunt fell" whereby you do crazy fells whilst the customer pops to the shop.
-
dont forget to take into account removal of waste, what you think others may quote, fuel prices, profit margins, inland revenues cut etc etc. its a mine field. Good luck.
-
Do you still do loler???
-
Yeah but this Educated Arborist guy has quoted £65 / kit. Nation wide service. I fail to see how that is even possible. I would like to know how many hidden extras there are???
-
How much notice do you need to get to Hull????
-
As a subby / freelance, i come equipped with everything needed to get tree to the ground, thats my job description. I charge more if I was expected to get rid of waste aswell. All companies I work for have "in house" lowering kit and are capable, whos kit we use depends on job or whos truck is parked closer to the tree. haha.
-
Excellent useful thread, thanks guys. Wanted info on similar thing. GREAT.
-
Harness, kind to your crotch. No such thing. haha Best thing you can do is get to a show or a shop and try them all on, somewhere that you can hang on a rope and play around. Everyone is different. Most harnesses are designed with a certain amount of comfort and user ergonomics in mind but the sheer nature of where a harness wraps round and the positions you have to work in sometimes means that you will get "twisted" now and again. Finding the right harness for you will eleviate massivley. Try, Try and then try again. Or stop moaning and take it like a man. hahaha
-
around 750 kg's I'd guess.

How do you get up a tree without ladders then????? haha I dont own any ladders but sometimes utilise them when they are propped up by the contractor.
