[Tom D]

you can watch it in high def on you tube.

I made it on iMovie, so much quicker than windows movie maker. I may even blow the dust off the pod and do a few more.

True, Todays job was a pretty massive black pine dismantle, I rigged it all down in pretty quick time and we were able to fell the stick, but we were pushing the wee tractor to the limit skidding the wood out. Just couldn't get a crane near it unfortunately.

 

Still, I have another big crane job to do before christmas, road closure and everything, it will be the most expensive takedown I have ever done, the road closure alone is costing £1600!

nice vid ,some may say why cut such small branches but i always find 2 lads on the ground struggle to keep up if there to bigger lumps ,and 9 times out of 10 the drop zone is small unless you have a great big car park keep em smaller

Those branches look small but they are actually petty big, many of them were well over both verges of a 2 lane road in width, and between 6-10m long. You're right though any bigger and they would have been very difficult to deal with. Plus there is always the risk that a bit breaks off and hits something as you pull it out, we were lifting over houses, you can see a wee but of deadwood hitting the roof if you look closely.

 

At the end of the day we started climbing about 9.30 had an hour for lunch and were finished by 3, no need to go quicker than that.

Good job Tom and Andrew.
