Thanks

JohnDee, the hitch was fine (I assume you mean the one near the shed), but it was an odd shape, came off at 90 degrees from the pulley so it twisted a little, gavin let it run just enough which kind off exagerates how it appears on video. Why the Hobbs, well various reasons, obviously design features, a little too much to write just now if thats ok.

Treevet, we actually managed to rig another 5 after the one with the shed but managed to push them more towards the camera position to avoid them swinging around as that particular one did. Also, what you cant see is a deep trench directly infront of the tree, and to the right was a steep landscaped garded for 100 yards. I couldn't drop anything until I got to about 10 ft and even then we had to build up up log barriers to stop the chunks either rolling off down the hill or otherwise bouncing into the shed. Not to mention it took two days to rig the top down, that shed was real hinderance, start to finish.

Sean they were all different guys/companies on those 4 jobs using the hobbs....all first time users which speaks volumes I think.

Eric, the big conifer was a cedar followed by lombardi poplars and a couple of sycamore maples at the end
