I'm not sure what is happening with the 6ft's We were subbing to another firm, they have some lengths of holly still in the yard from nearly 2 yrs ago, this will go alongside that, not sure what they have planned for it though. Was a good day, and that little bedford is brilliant.

Lovely job today in Malvern. Taking down a holly with a crane. Used the Bedford Boughton as access was a nightmare. Comes on a cheap day rate, it can go anywhere and is owned and driven by "Mickey No-Bells" Why crane it down though..? you may ask. why not. To be fair it would have needed zip lining out, and some of the branches from well over halfway up the tree reached the floor, intertwining with everything else on the way which would have made rigging a nightmare. Spot the dust off the yew as some of the lifts were brushing up against it. Last few shots are the view from the property, cracking day.

with a name like backpain, is climbing tree's for a living a wise choice.? I know quite a few 40+ year olds still climbing, but they have been doing it for over 20 yrs...not sure how you'd get on just starting, but why not..?.if you are fit and strong and want to do, it then you should go for it..

looking down from about 115ft...see that big pine in the distance, without exaggerating it's a very big tree, huge in fact, stand at the base of it and then look at this photo and you can appreciate how high 100ft+ actually is. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Newannaive/work/DSC00265.jpg biggest domestic conifers we have touched have been circa 70ft, never seen one any bigger in a private garden. either way, whatever the height the drag to the chipper looks the biggest part of the job....keeping up with the climber must have been a mighty task.. ..is that your lady getting down to it Matt..?..she rocks!
-
cut and chuck..?
-
ok, Some of the photo's though are in sequence...as in 4 or 5 pics of a takedown etc, that kind of thing. Maybe it's the OCD kicking in but I kinda thought a regimented slideshow from pic 1 through to the last pic...I know it's only 18months old or so but some of the techniques/kit have changed in that time also..
-
ah right...I think I have another idea coming....yes..no..yes..maybe introduce a new section titled "SBTC's Great Idea's":001_tongue: maybe add a link to page 1 of the general tree pic thread and site it somewhere other than on the main page...then each week or month or so you could update it.
