This is a great machine

[caledonian bob]

I know SWB did this one recently but I wanted to say how useful I found it. Probably saved us at least 1 day in time and a days pay for an extra body. Customer wanted 2 Horse Chestnuts dismantled, brash chipped and left approx 100m from where the trees were and timber logged and left another 50m further on. Only access was via a path just over 1m wide.

Was in the vermont new England back in 2002 seeing a tree company who used a John deer machine to load his truck up. When we got back my pal Mick Drewhurst found a company here which sold avent machines. Some photos attched, think the one in this thread is not as robust, we had one on hire and found it a bit light and to much plastic. The avent is a better built machine and saves so much time and back strain. We have used mick's to carry up to half ton, roll big larch section out of a woodland and with some diffacult rigging jobs.

 

Think there is a company in suffock who sell them or give mick a call Eastwood Tree Services- number on AA web site.

 

Been on my wish list for a while.

 

Cheers
