    Ditto. Low positioned rope will pull quicker than higher.

    Brings back memories of when I use to pull trees for my old boss with a Bedford RL.

    If you use a heavy enough cable just the weight once pulled up will pull a tree over with out pulling. Remember on some big horse chests put a winch rope up and went to pull up and the cable didn't even got off the ground and the tree came over by It's roots.

    That's right. You need a lot of ballast on tractor when pulling trees, or redirect with pulley to eliminate steep pull up on tractor.

    Got a 20mmx50m Polysteel bull rope I bought a year ago used it on 10 biggish sycamores the other month all where leaning back over garage block. Redirected with a pulley do to no room for tractor on trees came over. You can allways hold with tirfor or similar to stop them going back and pull with tractor. Shorten rope with bowlen.

    The clutch roller bearing only comes in to play when saw is idoling so it dos't need much lube. Only ever had 1 clog up when milling with fine dust.

    Ring council ask them out right about tree, if there fine about tree coming down no problem. If they say no It's not your problem and ring next customer. Leave it to owner and other party's to sort out and then give you a ring.
  20. woody paul

    Webbing sling when anchoring, heavy duty chain when It's a root keeps a better hold. Got my web slings from machine mart, yellow and wide. If you need a lot try Agri-link...shackles army surrpless is the best bet .

    Some more info; Fungus is only on South East side, Have found out that a root barrier was put in between tree and house 3 years ago be insurance company. Root investigation on South East side would be a problem as wall and road close so air spade no good would need JCB.
