frill girdle with an axe, then apply glyphos

Evolution of my system

What a great idea!

Anthracnose?

Periwinkle? hmmm woody stem? Maybe not

Working now! Lol. Though maybe should be on the overloaded thread, or the new pro tipper!

Might well do that this summer due to better havs from what I can remember. How did you break the chainbrake Stubs?

Another shout for the 550xp, splendid wee saw! I myself had major reservations about the autotune stuff, but if you have concerns, buy one and sell it on the bay when its two years old and get another one.

Triple combi type. One big, one small.

It sure is. I was not the biggest fan of mewps, like some having to control your breathing to prevent boom bounce! This thing is rock solid, and the way it can defy physics by articulating around corners is stunning. We knocked the whole job out from one position. The main aspect about this particular setup, is the operator your getting as part of the package. I have taken my IPAF, I can make a Nifty-lift or Simons dance, but Shaune takes things to the next level. He is very cool, calm and collective. He knows his machinery, and he has great knowledge of tree mechanics and the art of rigging.

Lol! Made me look again, several as in more than one day! Seriously though, I thrive off the big tech dismantles, but this old black pop has been shedding limbs randomly over the last 18 months. A lot of the job was free fall, but some parts were overhanging a ornamental garden with a sea of Sainsbury bags tied around saplings directly in the drop zone. One look at the job and was, "why put my life at risk for this?" So in came the MEWP.

Had Shaune and his extremely versatile machine on a dismantle last week. For a job which normally taken several days, we had it all complete by one o'clock! Not only on the time saving scale of things, but how much more safer the job was to perform. Massive energy savings as well. This guy really knows his machine and rigging practice, cutter in the basket needs not think on where the next cut is, as Shaune is already there! A true credit to the industry, and we shall certainly be pricing in this machine on any knarly trees that come along. Thanks Shaune, made it a pleasure. Tom

was thinking this myself.

Having been using a 550xp for most of the day, i cant rate it highly enough. Cracking saw, light, agile, low vibration, fast, powerful, good on fuel.
