Compact winch machine work Devon, winter 21/22


Recommended Posts

I'm in the process of tendering to thin a decent sized oak compartment near Buckfastleigh in Devon. About 40% of the block is to be winched, and I no longer have the machinery to do it. I did last year's thinning, so I imagine that I'm in a good position to do next years.

 

If anyone is interested in winching about 350-400 cube of nice quality and nice sized oak, please get in touch. It probably averages 38cm at chest height, the slope isn't too steep and it's very clean. I'll admit to hating winching, but this isn't bad work at all. Some of the runs are a little long, but there is plenty of space and all the crowns will be left on the hill.

There is space to stay on site in a caravan, it's ruddy scenic and all the timber will be felled ahead of you. It's ideal work for the kind of alpine that would fit on a 3.5t trailer.

 

This is how we left last year's block:
