Beech take down 2010

[Stephen Blair]

ha ha, nice one rupe, and the first pic of the 3 pillars makes sense as to why you lowered so much, so did you slice and chuck it or get in a hiab??

[Rupe]

Sliced it and split it onsite with the spitter.

[Stephen Blair]

now thats the way to make life easier:thumbup1:, find any metal:thumbdown:

[Rupe]

I don't know about easier! No hiab big enough to lift even 6 foots of that trunk would fit in the drive way I don't think! There would be quite a reach to the base end of the trunk anyway.

 

My mate that I use with the forwarder certainly couldn't get to it, and I wouldn't pay to get anyone else in.

 

No metal in it, that we found anyway! Still a bit more to move tomorrow!

I think I'm offcially bored of this job now! !

 

Nice looking fell Rupe,

and the reason for the fell was..........

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for posting the butt shot.

Was that central decay evident on the face of the gob?

ha ha, i meant easier than slicing the slices lol, it would of been ideal jcb bucket size, 6 foot chunks, back actor them around, scoop up and away, oh the perfect world, that tree reminds me of the one i took the timber off of for another company, well the stem any way, luckily they had a sky hook, i took it away in the hiab trailer, dad sliced it and split it, we reckon there is 60 dumpy bags in it split, £3600, my mate said i was mad taking the wood away for nowt:biggrin:

Bet mine would get in there.

[Rupe]

I guess yours would Peter, and be able to reach and lift in 6 foots?

 

Never mind, we've got to split it one day anyway!

[Peter]

Yup. 6 foot of beech at 48" diameter works out at about 2400kg, which is about the limit for my crane. I can reach out to about 6 metres, which would get most of it I reckon, and I could certainly drag it in to the truck, and cut liftable sections once it was close enough.
