he was very skilled in cutting the tree down, why is he compelled to listen to that crap?
-
bet he didn't learn that lot overnight a portable petrol winch shown at about 5 minutes? Is the rigging line tensioned with that and then taken off, or stuff just dropped with tension on it?
-
As much as the market can bear.

It's only 20% of anything over the allowance £10k, not saying that 70 a day net is alright though National average wage 26k so they say, wrong having to compete for housing with super remunerated types, bring back Stalin

Clearview trees has a good solution posted on the Stein RCW3001 thread, he's got a bollard strapped on and a separate winch £600 straped on above - only thing is if you use the winch to tension how can you transfer the tension to the bollard below to avoid shock loading the winch?
-
I've been looking at those too, not got rigging ticket yet, but trying to suss it out. If you have a bollard Stein RC3000 etc, can you not just get a tirfor on the tree below the bollard and use an ascender, (maybe a hitch is time consuming)?

Too big to fell, too small to climb

An aluminium tripod ladder is handy for that sort of thing, mine is 12'. I would have had a 16' one, but a bit more cumbersome to transport. You do have to buy some stuff to do the work - or you could make your next harness from a couple of webbing slings. -
If a reasonable size ad is £25ish in your local paper, just try that maybe they'll do a deal if you block book a few weeks in a row. One or two calls a week soon builds up, if the first ones start asking you back. Don't cut and move heavy trees in August heat unless you are poor.

like it, no messing about -
if its not too wide maybe the steel loading ramps from a big Ifor plant trailer would do

wow - one of the best vids I've seen on here. Bit of rope and ingenuity and it's doable without a second mortgage. Are many trees like that with a decayed trunk but top branches looking good? There was a thread a while ago about a climber bottling a big lime with a root plate lifting up in the wind and a guy replied saying he was in Germany and his mates were asked to spike a tree like one in vid, then he refused and someone else did it and half the tree tipped and broke up while he was lanyarded in, fubared his leg, no more climbing

a bit of a run out of anything else to talk about thread, whether people communicate well or don't communicate at all isn't up to them - there's no such thing as free will, just nature doing it's thing and we are lucky enough to witness it for a short time how about some plans to build a 10" diesel chipper, or mini skid steer? Surely the components don't add up to £35k and £25k respectively.
-
They are beautiful and look good, take ages to get old and too big, local garden centre had 18" high £25 5' £150. Money puzzle tree.
-
is it with the different cam for wire? not had any trouble at all on rope

the falteimer double cube looks good, first line stuck, use second second line gets stuck too - give up and go home -
good info, thanks, wasn't thinking it was done slow on the day, looked efficient and well thought out. Also I guess trying to shave another 5 mins here and there you get to the point where you're taking uneccessary risks, end up off work with a pulled muscle or worse.
-
so how is that done the quickest then? Can you take off the lower ones first on the way up so the top stuff doesn't get tangled as it drops? Or is it dependent on the saw change?

A large group of Leyland Cypress (Leylandii) had way out grown there location A large group of Leyland Cypress (Leylandii) had way out grown their location and predominately work around the South West predominantly under takes all aspects undertakes lowering techniques to safely and efficiency remove efficiently below ground level so that the site it can be replanted below ground level so that the site can be replanted even where their is no vehicular access even where there is no vehicular access good effort though doing it yourself, money for old rope, wouldn't give a web designer the skin off a bucket of cold piss

could be worth making sure there aren't any endangered species of lichen growing on them

I would like a tree motion or anything where you can hang from the side rings, with my komet dragonfly this isn't advisable, and having a lanyard and swivel to zigzag all on the bridge makes it cluttered. I find sometimes on change overs I want to hang off the lanyard. Any tips for avoiding the cluttered bridge problem (other than buying a tree - motion etc)? I thought about a rigging plate attached to the bridge swivel via a maillon, although l have been just stuffing crabs or mailons through where the bridge attaches to the webbing for lanyard attachment - probably frowned upon, but the harness webbing is strong.

trailer number plate must be worth a few bob

With interest rates at all time lows I put £8k in a stocks and shares ISA. Unless you spend ages reading up on companies I think the best shares are in big companies that have a history of steady dividends. I've got Glaxosmithkline 5.5% divi. People are always getting ill, so shouldn't go out of business. Of course some industries are much more risky - no one foresaw how fracking in the US and other countries would hammer the oil price. I would have utility company shares at the right price, National Grid, Severn Trent, SSE etc, never banks, couldn't even begin to understand all the chicanery.
-
good tip - no need to weld the plate on. If I got a tree like your one near the fence I think I'd be happy paying the extra for a 50 tonne bottle jack, a new one on ebay at the mo for £40. Can't imagine the stress if it started leaking oil before the tree tipped.

great - thanks bounce it up through branches - can see why people bother to construct a trigger for their bigshots, must save hours in the long run, although a lot of clutter for those who can hit accurate 80' one handed - the gifted few
