90ft sequoia ivy from top to bottom didnt no of srt back in them days so I had to start at the bottom cutting triangular shaped bales of ivy that was so thick and matted together it must of been on there 50 years or moor every limb had to be rigged as the tree was 3ft from a mini stately home slate roof windows hot day I had a 16inch bar on my 200t and it wouldn't touch the stem If I plunged it through the ivy it was that thick when I finally got stem cleaned off then had to rig limbs then back up to the top with my dated climbing system pole gaffs and rig all the wood down I questioned my life choices that day several times [emoji849]

Brilliant wish u had told me this story befor nearly fell off my chair laughing spilt coke down down my favourite holiday vest ????

Or stood on your skidder [emoji7]

You no me and you do loads of hedges ! [emoji6]

I can't speak highly enough of the NFU they cut what I was paying for two trucks In half when I went with them and so far all dealings with them have been spot I speak to my local office no silly been on hold for hrs and no foreign call centres

Was that in the uk Mike?

You not got any trees to tell us about joe you are down in the land wear all the brass is you must have some good ones on your rap sheet ?

The tw190 genuine ones are something I really liked on my machine I'm not a small lad and I could stand on them no problem to adjust shoot wear as those plastic ones are dog poo

I did a oak removal in the usa with a 200 tone crane $9800 in the uk as far as I no been that I dont always no what people are charging for the trees i do was a horse chestnut £5800 no crane be interested to hear some of the southern lads am sure that's pocket change in London prices?

Well over the 20 some years and thousands of trees I've cut down there is always 2 opinions like i always say trees bring out the worst and best in people unfortunately I fear the two sides will never concur

Why is it that people want to tell other people what to do with their trees ? If my neighbour was gunner paint his house yellow I might not like it and most probably the other neighbour's would think it lowered the tone of the street but I wouldn't try and tell him not to or ring the council we need to get away from busy body interfering ways it's no good !

Is this just on this thread or across the board Steve?

My skills arent in punctuation or spelling Andy But well done for stating the obvious

Are these available in the uk stuart?

I've enjoyed reading this everyone's different ways of tackling tree removals there is definitely pros and cons for cutting and chucking on some trees I personally tend to do it on smaller trees the time and extra wear on your body doing it bigger trees in my humble opinion is often not worth large soft woods with not many targets are different any time hydraulics can be used in any way that's the way to go even if it's only a part of the crown or heavy wood if u have it at your disposal use it if you have a good team and rope man and the tree is suitable lower big as you can many hands on the floor can process a limb allot faster than two hands In the tree every tree is different every sight is different so one formula to removal is not gunner be effective use what u have to its potential if its men get them working if its machines get it placed in the right position to be the most effective dont waste what u have buy not planning your sight correctly smart not hard I spend nearly all my time doing take downs or felling trees and it amazes me still when I go to sights how inefficient some companies teams are at it obsessed over chogging wood down when it could be lowered in big pieces or felled that's just one example!

Not to far from you Eddie and these guys really do have some top draw stuff
