  5. Cheers guys was a nightmare to climb once i got to the top only took a hour to get rid of that stem horrible climbing though had to cut footholds into the ivy, the tyres are 1 of the best buys ive made mark! I knew there was metal the stump had to be low anyways so would have had to cut it at some point. Just annoying on a big bar!
  6. so today was the day we got this tree down finally, dismantled the whole road side stem then winched it over with the landy. totally messed up the felling cut massive gob thanks to alot of metal

  14. Mark the tyres turned up today mega offroady 205/80-16 took them to my mates garage and we werent sure they would fit but they do with just as much room as the normal tyres did totally awesome!!!!
  15. Try not to get worried about it as said above i get the groundy to give me the top level then i no where top is going to be, i can then shape the rest, go with your instints you will know where every branch needs to end up to fit the shape. Just crack on and try and enjoy it.

Took 3 crack of dawn to evening days to get them down to make it worse we were on a really rough estate so had to watch the kit and all the so and sos all at home watching us every minute he sure hasnt made a mistake like that again!
