  1. I must be an idiot for not thinking of that. will def get them to do that even just to get a better look at the trunk. cheers
  2. there is a slight back lean. was thinking rope high up attached to digger (arm could be in lowered position) make cuts and pull over. a slow but continuous pull
  3. sounds like a good shout. i'll have to reassess the situation when I get there. not sure if the digger can reach half way up the tree
  4. thought about that. it's scot's I think and if you've ever worked with it you will know how brittle it is i'd be afraid the digger would snap it off it's hinge. there's a slight back lean
  5. :001_tt2:it's a big digger and it right beside the tree. I don't think my weight will tip it over not that fat!
  6. new plan: anchor a to digger arm get the guy to send me up put rope around tree pull over

  9. sounds like the best plan. thanks i'll just have to keep at it till I get a line through. thanks guys for the advice

  12. it has to come down there putting in a parking lot I don't really agree with it but it's the job I've been given. want to avoid spiking at all cost thick ivy mat around trunk with soil and thick bark have some long spikes but still doge
  13. short time frame don't know if i'd get it done in one day. not looking to dismantle just put it on the ground there's a clear felling zone
  14. was going to used 40ton digger to pull it over. problem with throw line in old pine is they get stuck in the bark and ivy. the trunk is only about 25" but the ivy about 3m
