Farmer Palmer's Poplar

[Andy R]

Pollarded a nice big poplar today for a farmer...he went for the cheapy cheap cheap quote of "stick it on the deck and walk away"....oh joy.

 

It was situated right on the edge of a lake bank, root plate was lifting at the back...sorry tree lovers, it had to go.

 

 

unfortunately the video quality is rubbish, but that's the norm for me. Requires a tilt of the head for the last clip.

There was loads when we had finished still attached and in one piece. funnily enough a few of the larger pieces found there way into the van. But the farmer sent the women down to get the rest...

Kemerton mate...don't know the name of the farm but it's got a huge Turkey Oak at the gates that is full of deadwood..could be the next project.

Thanks Mike, was nice to be able to just send some big stuff flying and not have to clear it up after the conifer job the other day..

Only had one target, the boss, but he kept moving about....had a few smaller trees to miss but after the tops were out it was just stand on the fork with the big saw and send them all flying. Nice end to a sh1t week.
