don't agree, id be more than happy to climb it but would rather fell if poss, just cause its easier

i'm looking for a new transit, does any1 know where i could get 1

a light hearted joke dude, im a registered collie breeder who sells pups internationally

a dog, a woman, and a walnut tree, the harder u hit them, the better they be

nike air max???

i would have clear felled it so probably about 10 minutes:thumbup: no, seriously i don't see why you couldn't dismantle it out of a mewp in chipper friendly pieces and cog the stem in fair size lumps in about 2 hours

So what would you say to a little challenge???????, two similar dismantles (one climbed the other using MEWP) winner is the first to have tree prosessed and site clean and ready to leave............

ouch...

i suppose u signature is true, u can only speak from personal experience, i dont know what experience you have had with MEWPS but my experience of them has been all positive, we have 4 tracked machines, a lorry mount, and 1 self propelled, and have found them an absolutley brilliant, and most days at least 1 will be out on hire to neighboring tree surgeons, of course there will always be a need for a good climber since we are always gonna run into the access issue but i do think that the industry will slowly gravitate to increased MEWP usage, since the machine is doing the work and not the climber, thus increasing the climbers working life, and reducing the back problems which often come with prolonged climbing, finally, i'm sure that alot of this whole MEWP hatred stems from the incorrect MEWP being used, for instance, loads of the MEWPS at the recent arb show would be rubbish for commercial tree work since there boom configuration would not allow for any decent mobility in and around the canopy, thus making the job harder not easier, if the correct machine is chosen then my experience is that they make the job easier I LOVE MEWPS:thumbup:

surely u would agree that a MEWP is more profitable long term

my response would be "I take it you'll want us to remove all the cord wood"

you would agree that the MEWP is far easier and quicker though??

nice job mate, out of interest, how many people did u have on site, and how long did the job take???

im still working on the pocket MEWP

hi mate, i think the top one might be wytch elm but i don't have a clue about the other one. By the way, where are u in newbury? dont think ive met u b4?

saw some tree surgeons with land rover and chipper taking down an oak opposite falkland cricket club today, dont think ive seen them b4, wondered if it was any1 on here???

i wouldn't bother mate, why change what works???

will be looking for a new rope at arb show tomorrow as mine has failed loler today, any recomendations????

Some1 finally talking sense i hate spikes, only ever put them on to chog a pole with no stubs on it

dont know about the chains but the files are rubbish compared to oregon

bump
