The truck is a Renault. It managed, just . It did ok until he tried to reverse up to the chipper. So I positioned it with the Nav.

 

Yes Robert it is an Armadillo roll back. Does the job.

 

That little Quad chip did ok today. First time I have seen one in use and it did the biz!

Thanks Silky fox! I told the client this, and he is happy for me to come back and trim the epi-watsit growth in a year or two, pain to climb without spikes, but fun work on a beautiful day! Merci bien!

Not my job mate, only contract climbing. Ideal for the fell into the paddock but the landlord of the property wanted it dismantled and the fell would have probabley knackered the retaining wall between the gardens and the paddock.

 

Easy enough day, finished by 2pm, home by 2.15. Literally it was 2 miles from my house. Back tomorrow for more of the same.

 

You keeping busy Max?

 

Sounds like you had a good day then. See you're getting the fog there too!

We're on a 2week job, just felling big for us. I'll get some pics up soon. Enjoy shifting all that wood tomorrow:001_smile:

Pardon my ignorance Rich but Iv done little to no rigging. Is the bollard put in the cut out section of cambium to stop it sliding around? Cheers Pete

[Rich Rule]

According to the instructions the safe working load is 2000kg when cut into the tree. The bollard is provided with rubber feet if you are retaining the tree but the load is reduced to 500kg.

 

I shaved the sides as my lower sling was about 6 inches too short, so I made the but a bit narrower.
