Chap on the mic said the poles were 85 yrs old, pole 1 was 4.5t and pole 2 was 5.5t and that they were 99feet tall in total!

 

Cheers, I would like to see them on the lorry being delivered. Wonder if they use the same ones each time.

 

Make a good demo seeing them go through one of those big chippers:biggrin:

Anyone know where the poles come from and how far they are in the ground (the Mrs wants to know).

 

I think the poles came from the Longleat Estate, Wiltshire.

Gutted i missed you will, what day did you go on? Your right the poles were from longleat didn't realise how many big trees the estate have.

 

On a different note why did they have a massive jenz biomass chipper next to the horse loggers, although i was quite surprised how the horses are just not bothered by the noises of the saws.
