| Well what a week it has been, popped 2 saws and gotta take a 3rd one in to get serviced. I popped my 084 and 365 Husky's pistons. So I had no intermediate saws to take up this poplar so it was down to the Good ole' 066 with the 28 inch bar on it. These are some photo's from yesterday's Poplar stump removal. Jeez I really feel sorry for you yanks having to look at these everywhere, they are such an eyesore. ![]() That is a pic of a magnificant looking Rhus with drooping leaves, jeez it looked good, too bad about the toxidity of the tree. The Poplar stump behind it. ![]() This is the 4-6 metre high stump, theres me to the left - no idea what I was doing with my hands near my face :P ![]() Mate, what a shit fight it was getting up that stump with all those epicormics. ![]() Exausted after hauling that frikken weight around up there.

| We checked the fuel and it wasn't the cause. Was cutting up with the 084 then I heard the pop and I was like f@#$!!!. The 365 came off a 2 month spell' and it popped after the 1st hour of use. The public is very unaware with Rhus as they are treework Eric. You know what is hilarious? We went and quoted a job the other day, on the customers nature strip she had two Rhus trees that had been chopped n topped by the council - they sprayed the stump hi vis orange for them to be knocked down and ground. Well 1 year later 2 metres taller with epicormics after the chop n top the council still hasn't been back to grind it . They probably went home with a mad rash and were like F going back to that thing. ![]() There is a similar tree that gets the same beautiful effect a Rhus does and looks very similar with out the toxins, it is the Pistacia chinensis the only visual difference is that the Rhus has a terminal leaf where as the Pistacio doesn't.

| Folks, We have super arbs out there, "I work this stuff it does nothing to me" which is a fair comment but what they don't realise is every time you work these...lets call them..Reaction trees...they wear away at your imunity until the day you react to them and you could end up pushing up the daisys so all take note: Rhus has the ability to kill you,type it into google and have a read dangerous stuff.![]() Ekka, If I could have got the base of the rhus tree in the frame as well you would have seen that this has been cut down before and those three small leaders were epicormic regrowth,so I'd say at a guess some one new what it was,also what folks don't realise this tree is toxic from shoot to roots and you have to cover up from head to toe,respirator,bag it seal the bag then cut it down..to confine it..I think I would also have water spraying over the cut so it goes to ground stait away,then excavate the root system,I mean how do you isolate the dust while grinding,even this small specimen we have in this shot I would not go near it for less than 1 G to dame dangerous,and could leave you liable if the site contaminates as the resin stays active for up to six months.

He climbed it to try out the new harness and also it was just chuck n duck rather then cut it over on the full and get a big mess of branches. Here are some photo's of John up the Liquidambar in his new harness and our pin point fell of the trunk. ![]() Almost at the top ![]() Top comin' over ![]() Sitting at the top ![]() This is where we wanted it ![]() This is where we got it plus we didn't wanna damage our cone : D |

| Nice work guys, when you say dead, I'm thinking only recently dead right? Love the very artistic photo: ![]() Sun sets on another professional job! Hey, also in the rigging photo did you have a TIP above you seperate to the rigging point or were you just attached in front of you lanyard etc.. not being daft just can't see clearly on the photo and wondered is all.

| Actually good you got onto it before it was that dead all the bark falls off. Them jobs are good coz it narrows down the field, look like fairly new houses and the gum was remnant and didn't cope with all the new interference. ![]()

| Well yesterday it was my dad's birthday and he was as sick as a dog, today he was bed ridden. So luckily for me my GF stayed home and she came and was my groundgirl for the day. We took down a Malaleuca of some sort I think it was. It was basically top n flop. The tree's roots were lifting his cement path next to it, aswell as the foundations on his tool shed and house. Aswell it had 3 co dominent's. ![]() My groundie bringing in the gear. ![]() That's the tree with me in it, pity it had to go. ![]() Top n Flop with the Polesaw. ![]() Two slings, one steel carbiner rated at 32kN, one wedge and away she went (it didn't hit the house, the pic is just an illusion). ![]() Proof :P I really need to get myself a helmet cam (At the cost of my mesh visor : ( ), so we can get some good vids going rather then just pics ![]()
