Thread: Tree Lopping

Have chainsaw and may be up your way soon!
I would definetly go through the council route. I met a guy that had bought a house and bush block near Launching place in Vic and the people that sold it to him had 5 trees removed and the council fined them $10,000 to $20,000 per tree. Which what led to them having to sell.

Can you fell the tree in one hit or do you need to drop it from the top down?

I am a bit dubious of chainsaws too and used a resiprocating < spelling? electric saw, (just like a hand saw but it moves it's self) to fell a tree in the UK I just got a pair of ladders and started as high up as I could until there was nothing left.

Saying that the tree was about 7m max in height and the limbs were less than 12" thick.
