Ace Master · 8th April 2008, 12:30 PM

Hi tree world
We had to take down the 2nd cypress tree next to the other large one we removed a couple of weeks ago. I think this was bigger check the pics.

newguy18 · 8th April 2008, 03:05 PM

as always,what do you think of the 3120 huskys?i'd like to get one but would like some input first.

JohN Dee · 8th April 2008, 03:29 PM

look the 3120 is a very good saw, we run 3 3120's, but you have to turn the oil flow right up, thats the only problem that we have.We use to have 088's but they keeped blowing up, think they have a heat problem with them, ive been told?

JohN Dee
It took just 2 days to distmantle,chip and fall the trunk down(crew of 5 men).Alot of rigging was used on this tree aswell.We don't have to take the wood but it was removed the next day by a tip truck contractor. We have the stumps to do aswell (total of 3 stumps),hav'nt started them yet i will get some pics for you john.

The Ace Crew removed a hanger today....Split top ,we get all the good jobs

Climber was Justin Nash, Ground crew Garry Trav and myself, tower boys Ian and Guy.We lowered the whole split Head in one go.......

JohN Dee · 21st April 2008, 09:28 PM

Holy crap, look at the diameter of that lowering line... Is that polypropelene? What breaking strain does it have?

btw.

newguy18 · 22nd April 2008, 01:35 AM

That ropes much bigger than some of the tops i've beeen in.

JohN Dee
Yes it's 64mm polypropelene, the breaking strain is around 16+ton

We only use it for the really big rigging jobs and that was one, i took some pics of the rope for you.

Jeff Darby · 25th April 2008, 10:56 PM

Now thats a rope! 2 1/2" dia in the old scale

Eric Frei · 25th April 2008, 11:00 PM

Nice, just what you need for natural crotch JUMBO SIZED!

JohN Dee · 27th April 2008, 10:28 PM

I like using some of our 16mm polypropelene for quick tied topping strops on palms... Cheap and effective.

Thanks for taking the pic for me Ace.

Eric Frei · 29th April 2008, 09:36 PM

Foam is faster.

Yeah it is and I agree, but it is alot more risky/dangerous when you're working in a confined area like the the picture I put up... Had near rotten wooden fence one side, house on the other and there were like 7 kids running around uncontrollably - popping their heads around the corner to take a look (they finally settled once they found their seat on the roof of their house watching me... lol)

Ace Master · 3rd May 2008, 11:08 PM

Right then some stumping & thumping.
got around to do those 4 Cypress stumps today.SP 40 12 and the SP 70 15 at work.

they went really well today...

Ace Master · 3rd May 2008, 11:33 PM

Some more pic's of the stumpers.
Plus look at the Mt Ash Gum tree in the background, took some close up pic's it's right beside the house.
HOW BIG DO YOU THINK THIS TREE IS BEFORE LOOKING AT THE CLOSE-UPS PIC"S.

soutz · 4th May 2008, 04:06 PM

That is one big as gummy.

Sunraysia Tree Solutions · 4th May 2008, 11:39 PM

I would say your going to get a call about that gum when it drops a limb or two after the right wind, I,m only guessing but I would say that those Cypress would have protected it from the wind on one side, and therefore the limbs on that side do not have the strength (0r stucture) to deal with wind.

more work I suppose

JohN Dee · 5th May 2008, 01:44 AM

Sometimes I wonder to myself, how the hell can our customers afford to have tree work done?

Nice work Ace, MASSIVE stumps - good looking machines - great work.

P.S Lol, I'm loving the great looking trailor on the outside then rusty on the inside

Eric Frei · 5th May 2008, 04:26 PM

How long do you reckon it would take to bring that monster gummy down? Must have 100' spread at least on it beside the multiple leaders.

Eric
By the end of the second day we should have all the branches back to the main limbs, there's alot of wood thats needs lowering and cutting.The next day would be timber time, by this time there would be a mountain of timber, total of 4-5 days to have it on the ground with a good crew and equip.Then move all the wood, no thanks (crane job). That Stump would take a good day, may be 2 (moving the mulch out of the way) with 2 grinders thats for sure!!!!.Then weather comes in to play, it would be 1 big week

.

Eric Frei · 6th May 2008, 10:25 AM

A tree like that would have to go for around $20k to $30k.

Tell me, do you get hacks and low ballers competing for trees like that? I'm just wondering.

Ace Master · 20th May 2008, 06:54 PM

We were working around the corner and i went for a walk and found this tree beside the road (Sherbrooke Road area),i had to take some pic's for you guy.

Sean Freeman · 20th May 2008, 07:43 PM

Ace that is one awesome tree!!!!!!

Quite fantastic...what an ecological resource it represents virtually priceless!
I can see I'll need to pick your brain and memory banks for veteran trees down your way in the not too distant future

Eric Frei · 20th May 2008, 10:38 PM

Quick, slap a monument sign on it so it lasts forever.
