-
shall be going as firewood i would imagine i wouldnt fancy milling it to much soil etc inside it.
-
either way i was asked to fell it then go no clearing up what so ever bonus of working for farmers they just go in with there telehander and stick it on a bonfire
-
just cause i wanted to make sure it was on some solidish timber and i wanted it on the back limb, then through the front folk and to tractor. by time you have done that from the ground it took me 14mins to climb up and set it all up climbing it

had this easy job for this afternoons job, would have made a great tree to leave for habitat, but council gave the owner 2weeks notice to have it felled. had loads of massive brackets all round the base of the tree. had the tractor on it because it was weighted backwards onto the road and neighbours house aswell as powerlines. always good to make sure. job was to fell it in the field and leave was interesting to see where the hinge is the whole stump split in half all way from the cut into the ground.

does anybody no any good skip places that deliver and collect these big roll on roll off skips around east anglia? i have a massive job im quoteing for and would be ideal to have one to chip some of the brash into. so any good places would be appreciated. also does anyone have a rough cost for how much they cost for 3days? many thanks James

my 372 also love the sound of the stihl 880 the way it whines almost like a turbo sound when cutting through big timber
-
wouldnt fancy siding that 130ft double sided hedge up thats for sure
-
my parents were on the train, took emergency services 4 hours get all 40 passengers off, still they all got a free mars bar and bottle of water for the wait.

more light and less leaves and loads more firewood would be my guess on a more serious note i havent got a clue of the details i was simply just brought in for the climbing
-

i used to be like that but now a days its more like ahhh gotta get up that big thing, but i do still love doing them i guess..... if you can get a crane to it
-
mark i was well up for stuntfelling the whole tree but not my job so i dont get choice, i can but just moan and moan all through the job saying if only we had felled it graham was a deceiving tree let alone the pics looked at it as 2nd opinion when gareth quoted for it originally and looked easy, i told him 2 days get it on floor and allow a day after to clear up etc so far its looking spot on, alot more to the tree than everyone expected, aswell as being over 3 gardens, shed etc etc
-
ash dismantle for gareth smith off here, day 1 got most of the crown off, back tomorow to do the rest. video to follow the pics when i can be bothered to look at the footage. pic 1 before we started pics 2&3 are at lunch time last pic is how we left it at 4,30
-
exactly my problem i have tons of woodchip up my yard, but because i have no way of loading other than a shovel. hireing in a jcb etc wouldnt make it worth selling
-
Not a bad spot for an afternoon stump grinding.

not a bad place, ive worked there before when i was employed by company with the diocese contract round there. less said about them the better. -
same as you today mark, i reduced this willow before last year 30% they wanted, waste of time as they found out. this time i told them best option is to get it pollarded and re-pollard every 2/3 years. should come back alright. was abit of a pig, no anchor point and long limbs with no good foot or hand holds, added to the fact there was no drop zone because of the 5 BT wiresgoing both sides of the tree and through the middle. still casually had it done by 12,30, with some cracking views
-
had really strong winds today, got 1 min from my house to go to a quote and passed a big lime had fallen to the winds on a big estate, as always had fallen at a perfect angle to make it fall 1ft short of the road, would love to get work on that estate they have some monster trees there
