Default Re: Mowing ..

Again its not lawns but im after ideas on this one. I havent said yes to doing it. Need a plan first. But theres only a few minor things i want to do that i dont really need the chainsaw for, and its paid for itself so its now up for lending. But without saying yes to doing the work, but offering to lend ladders, ropes and my chainsaw eddy (it likes to cut), next door have a tree they want gone. Yesterday we offed a 10m thing and that wasnt bad. But the other one is 12m high, forks low so 2 tall enough trunks. My concern is even with a 12 foot ladder, being uneven ground, being 9 steps up is a bit sketchy. My 8 footer is better for this, but roped and cut in such a fashion to direct the fall, its a big section considering the upper limbs on both trunks cant be lopped first. A cherry picker would be ideal, and i rent those all the time for work and take them home overnight, but theres no access to their yard. So making it fall away from the peson cutting it is the most important. Making it fall away from my grannyflat and the new fence are the next most important things. Once the tops are gone the rest can ve done in managable pieces. A rope and pulling that away from the cutter and property is so far my best idea, but im not sold on that given the size of the tops
