Learned a Lot from this Video!

I have never done any climbing,  I can see now all I need is a ladder and a pole saw.  If I wave the pole saw near the power cable I could save fuel and power it electrically.

I cannot see why he did not just build a trailer with a ramp,  a roller and a heavy duty winch.

Mmm . Like the way the bark is torn away from the underside of the cut .  

Edit . Gobbed off before I realized it was a take down 😔

A very clued up young guy, I followed his channel a few years back when he videoed the entire build of his giant hand made band mill from the ground up and which he's had some really great logs on since. Cheers.

A pal of mine converted a small Ifor trailer after seeing Mathews first log arch trailer...he welded a hitch to the front of his landy and then just used the winch as normal to work the arch, cost next to nothing 👍

It does look a well thought out trailer.

 

Is he painting PVA on the cuts, what's the purpose?

Stop the checking, eg, slowing down the moisture loss

Several tonnes of log won’t just lift into a trailer,most likely get stuck on a ramp.
And that’s a lot of force if it goes wrong.
Log arches are quite good but much better with hydraulics like a skip loader.
