Groundsman needed tomorrow, Reigate.
Hedge hunter replied to Old Mill Tree Care's topic in General chat
have you considered employing a member of staff so you can work? -
cut a chuck is all part of the job,its a good way of processing trees fast as all cuttings are ready for chip.... it depends how u price time. we have a large grab on a tractor so useing the mewp and nocking down half ton sections of main stem then lifting them into the trailer is fast and safe without the strain on the groundies. any person willing to work a chainsaw from a rope and harness is good imo so to be able to use the climber on the limited access jobs and the mewp on easy access jobs atchually helps the climber develop as they get time to rest...

tree safety - should i cut it down?
Hedge hunter replied to dgd17's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
yep... take the sail out of the tree and keep it the size it is.it will be fine that big if sound in health. it would cost in excess of £1000 by the sound of it to stack it in split logs for a year so it may just pay to get a couple of loads of firewood and keep the trees we need. -
it was a multi stem beech and when the climber got to one of the main stems around the back of the tree he decided it would probably go out of control and snap the lowering point off due to decay,he did a good job on about half the job as the mewp would not have reached all the tree.after a few lumps had hit the deck i asked the climber if he was ok with the level of decay and he declined.saying it was mushy and rotten at 70ft.we then decided to fetch the mewp...... its a good day when we all go home.

yep,If the ground damage is no issue the crane can do some shifting... the thing is it does 3 mans work so reduces the cost of labour and keeps the workforce down,when it breaks we fix it..... that bad boy does alot of kph but is a hand full,there is 1 long standing member of staff other than myself allowed to operate it along side the business owner ,i drive far bigger on other jobs. the 6330 is useable in a cul-de-sac .....
