Looks as if you could do with a grab on that crane mate! How did the chipper handle the conny?

[Stephen Blair]

the crane was meant to be fitted with a grab but it never happened. the chipper is awesome mate, chipped all that banana shaped horrible stuff for 4 hours no probs.

Your staff are spoiled mate. That's how to get a job done. Used the chipper for pulling over any trees yet? Worked for a company that had one of those chippers and it's shocking the pulling power of it. Not exactly according to design but if it works...

yip chipper was pulling over the trees today, cracking bit of kit. on its first job i drove it down a 100m driveway, felled a huge conny, dragged it up the drive and chipped it into the bushes he he,

i worked for a company and they had a winch on a big chipper was great for pulling limbs and thin trees into the chipper got loads of work done with that.

Nice job stevie, right kit for the job makes it look easy!

 

Prefered the view in pic 1 than what they have in pic 5 now though!

the trees were goosed Simon, snapping here and there and the nieghbours one just missed the house last year when it snapped out. The left of the page is where the sun rises and the right is where it sets, the garden didnt get any sun at all and it is south facing. I a replanting an 8 foot conny hedge next week and then they will plant small hardwoods here and there to break up the buildings in the back ground. The garden has been neglected for years mate, this time next year it will be lovely lol
