went and finished parish council job today by reducing the willow i told them when i priced it 3-4m but they really wanted it to remain the same kind of tree because of its location etc so i gave it 2m maybe 3m in some places nice day for it anyways.

parish council job reduce these birch by 1-2 meters i recommended got to go back tomorow to reduce the willow by 3-4 meters the birches were a nightmare horrible leggy nothing on the stems no growth points in right places and quite spread out in doesnt look bad at all from the pics. also had 11 phone wires on all sides of both trees then obviously the road and a road name sign under it aswell. im surprised the branches held up with 13stone of me on them but they did just

You can get 25t and 30t city cranes that as same width as transit they will extend further than 21 meters and lift more than you mentioned, plus some are all terrain aswell so you could park it right up as close as you wanted to the tree since you drove your truck next to it with chipper where theres a will theres a way.

You can get city cranes that are as narrow as 6ft for access.

a less exciting video but got some of the camcorder footage from the ground [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQtYdmck0II&feature=plcp&context=C4455246VDvjVQa1PpcFPEQGaJdtl4freVeM1u9Q_96JGXlbKZL6Y=]horsechestnut crane removal groundsmen view - YouTube[/ame]

all the stem sections are in the same size sections cut off with the crane straight in the truck and tipped off to be put on the bonfire or left to rot to much metal work in them to cut into firewood, all rest is to be split for firewood though plenty of that to get stuck into now! the throttle blipping is just like chainsawdom says to be careful really slowly cut through it looking for the cut to open or close as to weather the crane has to much tension on it or not enough assumeing the slings are set right anyways.

cheers mark, that woman was a complete nightmare, what you didnt see in the video was her picking up twigs for a couple minutes then she went i cut through most of it then she came back as seen in the video with dog poo thing if you watch closely you can see me shaking my head once she goes. no common sense at all i tryed shouting her waved my hands at her nothing registered
-
cheers guys there was a couple branches that were far from smooth in the video but it all comes with experience you live and learn i dont have a clue how to turn videos on the program i use to edit so im sorry for all the bad necks
-
yer seems my helmet cam has rotated in the mount so its abit on the wonk never checked till i opened the vids up.
-
cheers, yer was a fair distance 26meters away, why i had to get the bigger crane than i would have liked in but never mind big toys to play with and all that

picked up rest of the timber today, 8 loads of timber, 1 load of woodchip, and 1 load of sawdust. in total. clients are chuffed with the job got a 100quid tip which was very generous nice picture of the stump and the very friendly bit of metal that ruined my 3120xp chain. i think most of the stem would be good for scrap value the amount of metal work in the tree all way up the tree
