    Exactly Jay. For instance, my avatar pic was a knackered old beach over a church roof, I bangers out the front half no rigging and our mini with the grapple picked up the limbs and drove them to the chipper. Obviously had to be extra delicate over the slate church roof! Every jobs different eh

    Hehe exactly Dave !

    Its just the way we work better as a crew, making a huge pile of tangled brush, then waiting for the groundsmen to cut it, clear it, chip etc... rather rig a big limb, land it in the direction of the chipper, they chip it while next limb is rigged... Bearing in mind we dont get much oppurtunity to crash and bash, so maybe you're spoiled!

    Ok I watched it... Crash and bash, let the groundys clean up the pile. Good job you had a good few guys to clear up When you have less guys on the deck, rigging makes things run alot smoother for those below. Re above, sometimes its awkward to get a good working position to put in a notch at branch collar, thus just doing whatevers easiest Peat.

    Ive not watched the vid, but NO STUBS! There is no reason not to notch at the branch collar. Less bits to pick up, less cutting. All down to experience though boys.

    Hangin mate, hangin. Other side of the pool for now. Were in for some weather it seems mate... Blizzard Warning NYC and Southern NY State 2 hours ago – National Weather Service Accumulations: snow accumulation of 20 to 30 inches, with locally higher amounts possible ... Snowfall rates of 2 to 4 inches per hour expected late Monday night into Tuesday ... More info

    Introduce yourself man! Whats yer name, how long you been messing about in the air, etc I remember watching that Radiata pine. Good work, massive job!

    The first couple of cuts swung back and hit the boom.... I at all costs try and avoid that. Have the groundy make sure he lets her run past... Sorry to rant, just I use a bucket all the time and I depend my life on it.
  14. mistahbenn
    MATE! First rule of using a bucket is not to touch it with ANY brush or wood..... If that thing fails you are on the deck fast...(Although it does happen occasionally...) but always rig away from that boom.... or boom out of the way quick sharp. Ive heard plenty of stories over here of blokes dying in bucket failure situations. Enough doom and gloom... Anyhoo, good work, why didn't you put the camera THRU the chipper, that would be an original shot
  15. mistahbenn
    Yeh make yer own thread mate! (Ive actually not made one yet though, prob wont!?)
  16. mistahbenn
    Some assh+le responses here to Pauls honest question, really guys, you just having a laugh? Jesse? Anyone experienced can go out and sub for small firms, do a great job, no questions asked, get paid at the end of the day, but when going on larger contracts, or rail/powerlines, thats when the tickets come into play. 30/31/38/39/40/41 will be what you require to CONTRACT to FIRMS. (I would stay in Barbados though mate, Uk SUCKS )
  17. mistahbenn
    Good work, cool music. But mate, you would really benefit from going SRT! Honestly!
  18. mistahbenn
    Mark have you seen Drews traverse vid? Most excellent, and he does a retraverse too... [ame] [/ame] [ame] [/ame]
  19. mistahbenn
    Good job mate. Some good angles. Its harder judging the balance of the pick with dead wood, that one pick that swung and knocked you didnt look too bad.... But you tie it further out and risk having the crane break the dead wood, so its 50:50. Ben
  20. mistahbenn
    Oh, Bugz? I got some sitting in the truck..
  21. mistahbenn
    What are they??
  22. mistahbenn
    Its a relief standing an uprooted tree upright init? I had one simlar after a hurricane, luckily we just used a bit machine to pull it right over, no climbing Good job.
  23. mistahbenn
    Use your manly arms?? Could you lanyard in, create some slack in your line, pantin up and over?
  24. mistahbenn
    Sound mate, yeh every job is different I know. We have a 15 incher so prefer chipping as big as possible No one wants firewood here, crying shame! It all goes to the dump
  25. mistahbenn
