I’ve had this. It’s 2.5m to gutter height, if that’s any help. Just call your local planning dept and ask. Say you are considering building a shed in the garden.

If you can get info on finances and history then do it. It amazes me how many people don't, like the Gov'.

Chuck Norris is the law!??

Or a disgruntled parishioner.

Go and sub for some other people at what you want or higher. Don't put all your eggs in one basket with the current employer. Get your name out there re sub' climber and get going with your own thing.

Please identify these three trees?

That's a ewe in the first picture. -
Horrabridge Mark, just outside Plymouth With a bit of luck there might be a couple of people on here who could help you out, if you were closer to me I'd try. Your first post was frustrated but with a bit of advice you have a clearer picture of what you should be doing. You need to bin this 12 hour day and get a fresh perspective, keep plugging away at it and good luck to you.

If I was guying the tree to reduce risk of failure I would be seriously considering another option. As suggested previously use your drill and excavate a bit around the buttress roots to get an idea of extent of decay.

The crane would be the quickest way of getting it and yourself down, prob' require an extra body on the ground to process. MEWP cheaper, you can rig or cut and chuck. If you rig look at ways of diverting loading through the crown and use friction at the top with rings etc, you can easily terminate the rope to use as speed line when required. Look at the rope and pinto set up. Your grounds man will soon find his feet letting pieces run. Try and build a rapor with a larger company for jobs like this if you are a small firm? Do what suits you and explain the process to the client. Remember no one is holding a gun to your head. Good luck

It's the tying of hands that's the hard part. When you ask a professional to undertake a task why make stipulate how to go about It when they have no understanding of the work. Although from my experience on both sides of the fence the companies offering the work often require nothing more than PL insurance, we seem to be the knuckle draggers who just cut trees. You are right though if that's the way it is and there is a safer way to do it then highlight it in your method statement and risk assessment.

I'll use my throw line??

I had a side strop made of that, bad enough:(

Didn't metal ladders supersede wooden ones because they are better;)

I have never seen anyone use a blakes and I haven't seen a prussic loop for about 10 years:)) I just about remember being told "This is what you need to do to get your ticket, what you use after that is up to you". So long as it is fit for purpose, configured safely and correctly, and is CE marked...ahem (another thread) then crack on.

Hi Janey, I knew what you were referring to I thought I would post the HSE doc'. Regarding work positioning, best practice should be tieing in with a secondary line which could be a lanyard on D rings or a second line somewhere near where you are going to be working which can be Drt. Petzl state their lanyard adjuster can be used single line off the bridge or on the Drings for work position. You can have a floating DRT anchor on a base tie, which has thrown another one in the mix (SRT, DRT combo), you can turn a single line into double with a double purchase in the blink of an eye for work positioning then convert back and ascend.

Hello Gary, thanks for the feed back. I am not a soil expert, I only know what I have been taught and from my experience in the Arboricultural industry. I was wondering if I have missed something, that using any heavy machinery over a trees root area without some kind of ground protection isn’t beneficial to a trees health in the long term, especially one of such an age. How much damage can be made with this type of machinery? The scientific findings I have relate to forestry, my learning has been mainly to do with construction BS5837, so am wondering if I am missing the point of a CEZ?
-
Opinions please on what an excavator of 9 tonnes with rubber tracks will do to the root area around and up to the base of a 400-500 year old Oak in a woodland. Can root compaction be less than that of low footfall?
-
That’s a good example. I will be interested to read more when available. What’s this, no win no fee? Just something being talked about re experience and qual’s. Not being able to fully identify a defect or appreciate it’s significance, or even see a potential defect in the field if you have only learnt from books in a classroom.

I saw a tree surgeon using a Jo Beau 500 today. The machine looked good and he has been using them for years. I will be off to look at the new Jansen GTS2000 when they are back in stock. I think it might be the Jansen out right or Jo Beau through lease.
-
It's looking like Greenmech at the mo'. Does anyone know about the Jansen GTS2000? it looks similar.
-
Thanks for the response Maple, I've just found another called Haecksler. Which other machines did you look at?
-
I am struggling deciding on a small chipper. Options seem to be Jo Beau, Jansen GTS200 and Greenmech CS100. Any advice and reviews would be appreciated.
