A bit of gusty winds this week! Would blow a dog off his chain...

kimtree · 4th April 2008, 03:11 AM

Jee was that first one attached or just sitting there?

JohN Dee · 4th April 2008, 03:21 AM

Nice work Jason! That first one, how did trevor go about removing that head?

Hey did the customer want you to remove the uprooted root plate from the tree that blew over? I hate it when they ask that, but I just grind away at it and back fill the hole with it all

Ekka · 4th April 2008, 04:46 AM

Good pics, more please.

Man you guys are lucky, how I'd love for weather like that up here! We've had bugger all like that for years now.

Now guys, is this root failure or soil failure?

newguy18 · 4th April 2008, 09:44 AM

I would say soil failure probabley from constantly watering the grass and not giving it a chance to properly dry out,then strong winds blew it over.

Its wind failure,any cypress stump is easy to dig out..John- Trevor had to cut that head out but we had a large rope tied to a loader pulling as well.
