Messing about in the woods.

Had to get these felled due to Ash dieback and since they were hanging out over the road and fibre optic cables, so despite being wile tempted to fell them myself I got a professional in.

Going to try and do something with the biggest straightest butt.

Anyway the amusement was in getting it onto the log trailer.

Used the winch obviously.

And 650/700mm by 3600mm long at 1.28/M3(per this forum)=2 tonne.

Pics.

Apologies, no idea how that snippet o video got in there!

Felled a couple of ashes that sorta size recently , Building work/dieback excuse and the timber inside looked pretty solid rather like yours . Its going to be milled for use in a new kitchen .

Not sure how to mill it.

Probably best to take it to a local  guy who does such stuff.

Except my old DB 1490 is not really fit to be out in public! 

For the 4 mile run down a main road/bypass.

Despite being comprehensively insured.

Surely a neighbour has a more roadworthy tractor? (No offence to the trusty db) Or do a pre Dawn tootle down the road at your leisure?! Good excuse to invest in an alaskan mill if neither of the above is an option.
