Also the EA, a lot of this wood is felled timber, the EA had told our client that they were going to sail down the river in a punt and chop it up and let it float off! The river below the bridge is 2 foot deep and that pile must be 40 tonnes of trees. The only way to clear that pile is with a crane.

You couldn't make it up, cut it up and let it go down stream....SUDS at its best.

Would be fun to watch em try though sound like darwin awards material when the whole lot fall on top of them.

 

Pole saw from a punt? ?

Didn't @LGP Eddie clear something like this with a long reach Komatsu on road tracks, with a selector grab?

I'm out this morning to inspect a woodland we're starting at in a few weeks. Have to check extraction routes and other such things. On my own on Exmoor, I'm as isolated as it gets. 

 

I'm expecting to get stopped by the Fuzz on the highstreet though. They've been checking a lot of people lately, and rightly so. The site I'm going to is supplying chipwood for heating and sawlogs for Pontrilas, both of which are key industries.

BigJ we took 160 tonne of biomass off a highway clearance this week, at the moment the power system can’t get enough supply, you’re work is therefore of an urgent nature, crack on.[emoji269]

looked at using the excavator and grab, that with the lorry to haul the stuff would have been too heavy and the client doesn’t want any potential damage to the deck or the stone works,the crane will do it from the road side.
