Not isolating the pull rope

Eric Frei · 13th November 2007, 08:56 PM

We felled this firewheel tree. would have been a bugger to isolate the branch for the pull rope to get a tie off.

So I figured I'd show it's just as effective to tie it off.

The tree was multi-leadered, try tie up and pull on a rear leader if you can, less chance of tearing it out or splitting the tree.

Around 1.18mins and 6.41mb WMV

Nicely done and I too liked the free stump grind.

This is a very good and simple technique, we use it quite often esp on sticky things like Grevillea robusta....good vid as always.

+1 and welcome to treeworld.

The poor little gardenia was sacrificed.

What do they say about wrong place at the wrong time! lol

I asked when quoting and gave the difference in price so the lil guy was targeted.

Was pretty poor speciment, home-owner whipper snipped it to half life, I just put it out of it's misery forest style.

The fence was crap too and the back house all being demolished for new highway! They'll have a 10' high sound barrier wall along there.
