  8. thank you billpierce, The Beast size X rings are ducks nuts for big stuff - both the bend radius and the omni directional rigging angles . - XTRA LARGE 38X28 the burning limb was the beehive getting swiftly taken care of by the ground guys . about 50 feet
  9. 4 1/2 day Dead Euc removal, last half day with a 40 ton Terex Crane. Enjoy Ben
  10. Thankyou Mick, if you have had the pleasure of cutting lemon scented before you would appreciate the unique weight and density of this misbegotten timber. crane op and dogman were quite surprised - I laughed , good times.
  11. thank you silky fox, the contractor and I agreed due to the inclosed nature of the tree and the limited access that the crane was the only way to fly. ironically I had pruned the whole tree three months before the customers decided to go ahead with the removal.
  12. Two day crane assisted removal over a child care centre . Ben
  13. thank you Steve, the new site is quite the treat to come back to after another long working stint.

  15. and cause you once said you wouldn't be able to recognise me at a petrol station line up with out my gloves on here is a rare selfie I took near the top of the Red gum I pruned.
  16. really - that blows , I paid music bed reasonable coin for the copyright use of the music , thank you for letting me know I will have a look into it. still subbying but at half my own work and half others , the last two videos are jobs I quoted for my business Astons Arborists . works quietened down but steady and the winter weather has kicked in but Im trucking on for now thank you for asking. how about yourself?
  17. three day prune up on a River red gum - the tallest and biggest Euc I have worked on so far. enjoy Ben
  18. double Red gum removal over three days, some interesting rigging moments and a few good drops. Ben
  19. Stone pine removal over several days including a first for me - rigging out a tree house. nothing fantastic or massive. Ben
  20. thankyou SamTree, apologies for the late reply - feel very rude in taking so long to get back to you. been busy like an arse kicking olympic contender.
  21. It's Gotta Go! Tasmanian Blue Gum Removal
  22. it creates a self tending VT hitch by removing the setback which leads to a number of advantages when climbing such as one hand tending.
  23. sure thing Tommy_B that is the mountain bike tyre tube on the left and the zip tie version on the right the fixed eye still attaches in the middle hole of the Hitch pulley
  24. thankyou breffni, the ring above the hitch is an idea I stole from Jesse Coleman, it acts as a heat sink to stop burning your fingers when bombing out and lets you index your hand on the hitch while stopping the gloves ( for some climbers) being dragged into the hitch. apparently it does the glove thing with the zigzag as well. Ben
