Experienced hardwood cutter required next Wednesday (3/11) near Taunton

[Big J]

I'm a man short on a forestry site next Wednesday cutting medium sized ash. Lovely site (flat and hard ground) 5 miles north of Taunton. 

 

Trees are very tall, but not especially big at base. Average is probably 26-28m and 350mm DBH, though many are a bit taller and a bit girthier. 

 

Cutter needs to be very experienced and someone who isn't going to constantly need to use a winch to get trees down. Pay will be hourly and dependent on experience, and to some extent performance. 

 

Could well lead to more work. I pay well but demand high standards

 

Please message me through Arbtalk if you can help.

My example being the Mr John P above watching me when I severed a heavily leaning ash that turned out to be a heavily leaning tree with a strategically placed branch locking it to a chestnut that I just couldn't drop. Didn't have the right winching machinery on site and it took nearly two hours and a lot of swearing and buggering around until it went down. Lesson learned though. Wait until the correct machinery is on site before tackling anything at all that might give you an issue! ?

 

That was actually the worst hanger I've ever had. In something like 25-30,000 trees felled!

i dont think cutting big spruce windblown with a saw with 25" bar on for 6 months helps and my next job is a load of tosh as well some big narly lodgepole edge trees that are nearly as wide at the bottom as they are tall so big saw again " great "
