    Doubt it.... thats me standing in the top of the tree... And before anyone says 'owt - the stump on the right is left high as the customer had it carved into a seat.

    Does anybody know, is the Stihl MS 880 the largest production saw on the market? Does anyone make a bigger one? I dont need one - just curious to know if there are any saws out there that take a bar longer than 48'' Matt

    Knowing my luck it will look ok in a couple of years time and i'll never get to go back and drop it

    The stump would have looked prettier than whats left

    I knew i'd get some stick for this... I was thinking the same - get paid twice for the same tree, bonus! Thing is, if it was in my garden it would make me cringe every time I looked at it. And yes, I know it looks s**t - but again its what she wanted... even the growth points left are exactly what she wanted, and cut exactly where she wanted them cut. It would have looked silly even pollarding it, it would just be a pole left, but it would have been preferable to the current end result. its ok through cause I wasnt in my truck and the high viz I was wearing had someone elses name on it!!

    LOL! Thats what she wanted.... I said it should come right down as it was leaning toward the house and the back side (not pictured) shows signs of decay. However she did say that if she dosent like it in a years time she'll get me back to drop it... like I said above, what do you do?? what the customer wants or what you believe should be done?

    Apparently I am an 'arsehole' for doing this to a Eucalyptus: But despite my advice, it is exactly what the cutomer wanted. What do you do? Refuse the work?? Opinions please!!? (dont be too nasty!)
  12. Highland Forestry
    lol! I used to use a hammer with string tied round the head... Sure that looked really professional!! Have since used my trusty throw bag and would never go back...

    I like the big boa Karabs, but I prefer a large single karab for my main line and prusik - the sentinel 3-way carabiners are very good for your strop or flipline and for your secondary attachement.

    A kilo??? Geeze, you'll have arms like mighty mouse by the time you've finished chucking that bruiser around!

    lol, the girlfriends sister is literally 15 mins drive from malaga airport - it's a real bind I can tell you!!! You're right, not many big trees about, but plenty of pruning as far as i'm aware.
