newguy18 · 7th March 2009, 04:42 PM

Nice pics,those leather pads on your spurs suck,i used them for about a year,you need caddy pads.

kiwi_tree_steve · 7th March 2009, 05:08 PM

Hey i hear ya on that new guy! i was on the ground for this one, the climber is Tom from Canada

phill ellison · 8th March 2009, 08:36 AM

hey good job Steve, did you guys use a zip line down to the chipper, you guys cleaned up well after ya finish

kiwi_tree_steve · 8th March 2009, 01:45 PM

yep to the Zip line, good spotting phill!!

we hooked up a 4 to 1 set up on the back of the ute, zip lined down almost every piece mostly right into the feed shute of that bad boy 18" bandit, any that didnt quite make it all the way, out came the winch, gosh i love that chipper!

the shot partway through the pics were bugger all canopy left, we went up the hill and porta wrapped, the tip lines and also had butt lines natural crotched just to be 150% sure were every thing went, with that tight drop zone.

i spent most of my time on the ground running the zip line, but i got up and chocked her down on monday.

yea, thaks phill, we try to make it look like we were never there, always striving for Excellence!

Good job & great clean up steve!

That client will remember & refer you for that.

Tarps or shadecloth on the ground before blocking/felling/chocking up would have cut a good chunk of time out of that clean up.

Nice logwood, would love to see that timber milled

Nice pics, thanks.

It's a bugger having to dic up that log to get it out, I like Kanga access jobs ... the log is sort of the fun part then.

Nice view for that job then.

kiwi_tree_steve · 8th March 2009, 08:41 PM

yeah ya get a lot a views around here in Taupo

Treeson · 8th March 2009, 09:57 PM

Great pics Steve, looks like you had cracker days for it!

newguy18 · 9th March 2009, 01:50 AM

Is it a requirement for climbers to wear chaps over there?I see all the brits,aussies,and kiwis doing it,it isn't required for climbing here,only ppe thats mandatory is a hard hat,eye and ear protection.

I know at least in Victoria its not, but for some companies and councils its a requirement as part of their own policies.

Also whats this thing on the top of the truck, that kinda walk way looking thing?

Diving board

Just a ladder isnt it???

newguy18 · 10th March 2009, 02:12 AM

Couldn't you guys just speed line into the water?It would save on chipping.

phill ellison · 10th March 2009, 03:17 PM

I don't think the boaties would like that

kiwi_tree_steve · 10th March 2009, 07:25 PM
