Poplar felling the easy way

[Taupotreeman]

Had to fell some largish Poplars for a roading contractor. No clean up, just drag em down the road and push em over the bank. The local axe mens club are taking the logs. 11KV single working earth behind the trees so all had to come back against the lean. Nailed seven Poplars and about 8 other trees today, back tomorrow to do the last few.

It goes to show how Taupo's gone,now there are Arborists Felling Trees using a Skidder.When I lived there 12 years ago half the town was involved in the Logging industry and one of the Chainsaw shops used to do $14K a week.
