I released a short version of this video on another forum about a year ago. I'd forgotten about this longer one.

The two guys in yellow without helmets who keep wandering into the work area were actually on traffic duty and shouldn't have been anywhere near really, I think they got lonely.

A short but stocky tree, miserable wet weather throughout the day. Australia it ain't!
This is a 20 minute vid starting about a third of the way into the job.

The pace is slow at first but warms up after a while, a bit like me nowdays.

We have a big tree hopefully coming off next week so look out for that one.

Yeah it rained on and off for the branches and then chucked it down throughout the time were on the timber. Still, the site was left imaculate.

That last lift was about 5.5 tons, beech is heavy, about 150 years that one.

shaggs, the buzzer was the overload alarm, it had been randomly going on and off all day. We were well within the lift capacity for that last chunk.
