Thanks guys was hoping that someone might come up with an idea for around the grand mark, spoke to him again this morning after taking a more experienced climber with me we both came up with 2k customer said "no thanks" this fella rang me once before hes nuts he felled a monster willow right beside the river with a 26 and tractor got his chainsaw stuck just cutting it all way round and pullin with the tractor, also since Id last spoken to him hes been snapping lumps of the trees with a teleporter.

Sorry should of explained a little better he wants them down to about 15 feet high and really theres no chance of getting them lower as theres no way a stump grinder could get to all of them. Wants them down as they are starting to drop sizeable lumps of dead. you can never tell in photos so i will say these mothers are around the 80ft mark.
