Thinings value

[Andymacp]

There not looking for wide rides put into their wood want it looking natural but with the ability to walk in amongst it.

Don't worry mate I'm one of those guys that'll try a job and learn that way done it my whole career and it's got me pretty far.

Flat

Will use the MOG to winch down the lines then load the timber trailer with mog hiab and grab

 

Flat: Remove every 7th row; that is your (operating and extraction) rack.

 

Pick your first rack in from the windward side a full 7 rows in if windy; less if not and it mucks up the other end. You need to work all this out first.

 

29 rows = 4 racks...

They don't want rows removed

If you do it right though you'll work smart not hard. If you're not interested in doing it properly, I'm out.

 

You're saying they don't want racks? Can't be done. Trust me.

Walk away from the job then.

 

Owners are bl00dy idiots.

 

45% is also a load of cock.

 

The remaining 55% will blow.

Contradiction! What "lines" since they don't want any? You'll scar up the remaining trees without racks.

[Andymacp]

The trees in the woodland aren't all the same size, I'm selectively taking out the smaller lesser ones and leaving the better ones.

Surely this way lessens the chance of windthrow. Plus not touching the edgers

It's their wood they want it done that way and their willing to pay, I've got the gear to do it this way, there's no access for harvesters/forwarders.

Down the gap between the trees, That's a good point much more helpful

To be honest, if you can fit down the gaps and do a few tons an hour you should cover costs and have a happy customer, don't see the problem myself. It's a rare treat to be felling on flat land.
