Helicopters, countys and new holland

[_tc]

Hi guys, some friends have just finished a contract in plymouth.

They hired in a helicopter to lift the timber out due to access issues.

thought you might like to see a couple of pics.

 

they only lifted 800kgs at a time but the turn around time from fell site to process site was one and a half minutes!!

busy boys indeed.

Yeah, I honestly can't say the crane feeding the chipper seemed to work that well - when it did get the material in it was gone very fast but aiming the frithy stuff into the hopper aint easy. I hung around for 10 mins hoping the chopper would come back but must have downed for dinner! I heard rumours of some of the prices quoted for that job - no comment!!!

 

Was told Crownhill Fort / Council wanted 30m Pub lib for the job, er...

 

Now I've said it!

I just dont get that. They seem to have managed to get a few tractors in there with no problems & I bet they could have pulled a trailer each.
