Im only asking for advice on the power line side of things, tomorow were phoning the power network anyways if they get a shut down then its no worries i just wasnt sure about mewps and powerlines, before i ring them up. Normally theres no issues we phone power network they send engineer out they then book a shut down or cover the wires and easy done. Never had work near big wires like these though that was all.

I have won the job, im phoning ukpn to get the shutdown or watever they say to get the job done
-
I should add i no the history of the tree ive lived in the village all my life, its always leaned right out it has just suddenly gone and isnt touching the wires but just hanging over the first wire, its in a very stable position on the fence im 99% sure it wont budge anymore had a few fail along this footpath and the fence has held them everytime.

Plan is phoning ukpn tomorow so hopefully they will send out someone and it will be all go

Got asked to quote this tree this evening, 2ft plus ash, won the job my plan of action is get the powerlines covered (as i cant see them shutting down or taking down main wires in a hurry) and tree is hanging over a very well used footpath, get a mewp in as the tree is failed and being held up by the metal spiked fence. I no climbing around covered wires is fine done it before but i no cranes have to cover all where the machine will reach so would this be the same for mewps? How would you guys tackle it? Ideally id love to cut through it and hope it brushes off the wires. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Nice work! Always thought a crane would be great to do big tip reductions just zip you round the tree

Were in the same boat, just bought a l200 going to get peter to do a chip box. We cant justify a pro tipper cost for it. Plan on getting a load handler 110 quid plus vat is a much cheaper option and dont have to dig the chip off.

height reduction and thinning out on a 70ft lime tree today couple of hours climbing really thinned out the crown also and crown raised it but you cant see from the pics. clients were delighted with the results and paid £40 tip never had that much before. shame about the 1ft bit sticking out the right hand side ill be back with the poles and pruning head and ladders soon

saving up vs financing for new (2ndhand!) truck
testcricket01 replied to arbmark's topic in General chat
Sounds like your thinking about this to late, we plan our vehicles its got to last 4/5 yrs then chop it in for another new one in which time you save up from the moment you get the new one for the replacement in 5yrs or just finance it.
