lemonade

Thankyou Brian, those trees that they gave out on free tree days at primary schools in the seventies just keep giving me work.
and the one neighbour was nice enough to drop part of the fence so shouldn't complain too much besides the 44 deg C heat it was a great challenge on what can be rigged out Benno style without a grcs or similar but applying learnt knowledge.:D
this was one job I told you about start of last year when you asked about limits of my redirected rigging.
finally got around to it ...:sorprendido3:

Cheers macswan, it seems to be a common theme, child gets free tree, brings it home to mum and dad who plant it some where out of the way e.g. near the back fence and forty years later in I walk. :hola:
usual suspects are lemon scented, spotted gum , iron bark , tasmanian blue gum and sugar gum. none of which cultivars are native to the state so go figure?:confused:

Those are some fast growing trees. Come down much faster though!!:)
 
I love watching these. I do more pruning than removals, so it's great to see the setups and techniques. They keep me from reinventing the wheel and taking months or years to do so. Aside- stihlmadd, what are you using for a lanyard adjuster?

on my yale maxi flip it is a rock exotica 5/8 rock grab with the retaining spring removed on a 1/2 flipline it makes for a self tending flipline but not manufacture recommended :D
for takedown's I use a capital safety all wire pole strap which has a built in cam and is sold as a single unit.
I can provide pic's if you would like.
as to what you were saying about the learning aspect of the video's that was my primary reason at the start of tree work vids so I could learn from the best without having to travel or wait until they came over here with north american training solutions once a year.
can so relate to what you are saying about the reinventing part.(y)
my climbing has certainly changed thanks to Reg and the others that have followed.
 
Great rigging Ben! Those looked to be some pretty big pieces over a pretty fragile landscape. You make it look easy... except the one that almost popped back at you, thanks for not editing it out.

I love to rig with the spider leg too. Thank you for posting

thankyou :D flying french man , rigging the cats cradle style with a alpine butterfly and judging the weight balance is an art.
the heavy euc leaf and capsule end can be quite deceiving against the timber weight and took some time to get turning the whole limb while maintaining horizontal.
cheers Ben.
