put a ton bag over it, tie it off at the base the tightest you can, cut in with a hedge cutter , flip it over. And it's in the bag! Dig out with a round mouth spade like a chocolate orange segment type way. Throw it all in the bag and burn at a later date, I personally wouldn't put it near my chipper due to doing it once before , even mixing stuff in lol. Or rip them out in oners with a hiab and stick in the trailer, once filled a 10 ton cylage trailer with 2!! Burn at a later date Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Unless I knew a lot more info about you and your business I can't give the best advice, £9k on a van sends alarm bells though. £9k can get you a transit high sided tipper and a chipper. If your starting out, £3k can get you a micro chipper that goes in a £1500 van. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

I often climb on 2 ropes And Prusik . So double DDRT. I would definately use SRT if I worked with another climber or trained groundsman on the right trees. My work is mostly topping conifers and Sycsmores or felling them. When I do have a big old tree needing a limb removed and there's no lower limbs, double rope and Prusik is hard hard work. As far as a single line being safer on a healthy limb, I feel that's bad judgement on the climbers part and also SRT puts twice the force on a limb/crotch as double.(I'm pretty sure ) Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

I forgot the rope guide, that's got to be 1 of the best things in rescent years to come out!! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

I wasn't being sarcastic and I'm not an idiot either! I was having a laugh, it's obviously gone over your head. Read it in a year or 2 and you'll get it. As for speeding up, just do things quicker. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

If you use a top handle, stop! If you climb in Prusik, change sides or try VT, mechanical hitch . If you feed the chipper 1 sided, change to other side. You need to change what your doing and even stop altogether and rest it. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
