interesting thought , defiantly something to consider when using those type of configurations I see no harm in using it in the above configuration as its a secondary system.

you can also add another system to keep everything streamlined

yeah i know what ya mean mate , its different priorities and cultures . I think auz and nz are quite similar. yup she's german bro , keeps me organised and on my toes :|:

yeah mate cool , have you done a bit of work over here?. I've been living with the mrs going on two years and ill probably hang around for another year or two until she finishes her uni. Im considering aussie if i don't go back to nz jake :lol: ill come play in some nice eucs.

to be honest mate I wouldn't think that it would cause to much further trouble as the hole is so small. Its exactly as treetx said, over here someone has liability and its enforced so using tools like a resistograph gives solid evidence and an ass covering of sorts. some companies would see...

yeah bang on treetx , i was having a look inside to see if there were any animals living inside and to measure and document the size of the holes . the oak has a fungi phellinus robustus so i just had to make an inspection and document basically , the tree was vital and had put on some decent...

Nice pics jake , good to see you on here bro. cranes are good fun :thumbup:

Cheers Rich , yeah the power of those machines are crazy mate, if we had a chinook i doubt it would have taken more then three picks haha.

sorry guys i still haven't found out the model but it was a damn impressive machine. that pilot was an absolute legend. we had a lot of important people from the city of heidelberg and countless other spectators from forest and arb companies, who were all focused on my workmate and i in the...

interesting theory , it could be true the rope between the heli and the strop was quite long and those branches were extremely heavy. the second pick was 1200 kgs and thats why it didn't take off like the rest of them. 900 kgs was the safe weight for the picks.

you got it mate :) from the sunny bay of plenty

I was waiting for that , yeah mate it would have made it a lot easier as you know how thick that bark gets. I had asked one of the guys to take the mill off the 88 and put on another bar. He did it but he put on the same bar with a different chain and no dogs. The chain was sharp but rooted so...

Haha thats the mrs Ben , she wanted to come check out the action.

The wood was weighing in around 900 kgs for those cuts . I think the smallest was 750. It had been raining heavily the days before so we think that's the reason for it being so heavy . The weight the pilot wanted was 900 and we had a couple over 1 tonne. In the second cut you can see how the...

Here it is guys , a few raw clips from the removal my company did along the nekar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-HJtmhe7ZI&spfreload=10
