Moving timber to ride/collection point

[Urubaen]

Working on a triple s i in Nottingham, there are 46 sycamore that we need to move to ride side/ collection point cut at 7 foot, some of the bottom trunks may weigh up to a ton. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

cut them smaller, what are you allowed on site, what are the stipulations.

I take it 7' is the shortest length you require?

 

Distance to move?

 

Slope?

Sky hook?

skyline them out?

or a chinook.

8 bits or riggly tin and a box of matches!!

the timber firm want them at 7, have a slight down slope with some large holes where i guess root bowls use to be.

max distance would be about 0.6 of a mile

You have four options:

Tractor and winch, but if there is rare ground fauna, there will be ground damage

Skyline, expensive, but much less gound damage

Horses, much more senitive, and less ground damage.

Ring bark and leave for standing deadwood. no ground damage, but not practical if the site has public access.

 

Out of intrest, why is the site a sssi
