Grapple Saw in action

[benedmonds]

I know the grapple saw guys promote themselves pretty well.. But we have had Wallace Timber in helping us Pollard 36 poplars at a park.. It is pretty cool..

Awesome capability!

 

If only there was enough of that sort of accessible work to warrant the investment in the kit....

 

Maybe one day....

Looks like there's plenty of space to stack. Was it not worth contracting out the chipping for the potential return on the biomass too?

I certainly consider edvit.. but that adds another level of complexity and having to rely on someone else.. When I quoted in January it was very wet and the local groundsmen said it was often like that in summer.

 

I didn't want tracked vehicles on site digging it up, access is not great and you couldn't get an artic down to chip straight into. Our bc1000 happily chipped the tops and 4 guys with the Avant haven't had trouble keeping up with the grapple saw. Ferrying the chip to our yard has kept someone busy but it will still all get sold.

 

I don't believe there was a bottle neck so not sure bigger machine fed chippers would have speeded up the job.  We do have a big pile of wood but that will also be sold for biomas.

Fair enough if you've got the kit to keep up with it. You'd struggle with a transit and timber wolf!

I would have coped Joe.

I don't think the transit springs would have stayed smily either.
