beanzontoast said:We had a whole load of slightly smaller (6-7ft) conifers removed some time ago - they'd been turned into a hedge and had been in for a good 10 years or more, so some of the trunks were getting pretty thick. The guy who did it used a tree puller; essentially he lassoed two trees at a time with a very thick band, one tree at each end. The band had a strong winching mechanism in the middle. Using the thicker of the two as the anchor, operating the winch gave leverage which uprooted the other tree.
The last tree of all was dug up, (which took ages).
