In Desperate times...My Silky saves the day!

How come the tree wasn't pulled over in one? Looks like loads of space.

Some nice and useful gear there though:-)

Good morning Al....Gray Git is the man to answer that...probably along soon. Yeah the only manpower used on this job was the rigging and chipping....the platform did the rest...then the Cedar involved only a small ammount on maual handling...just some sneeding and chipping..Machines can improve efficiency so well.

Jon really enjoyed the last 2 days,as all Tree Surgeon's would...knocking big bits off...the Cedar was all snapped out when we got there.Bits sheared off over the years..it will be left as a monolith for wildlife or Carving.

Thanks for the work jon...you certainly enjoyed the job:)

Your welcome Paul it's always nice to work with people who share the enthusiasm for the job.

You certainly have a knack for getting good pictures

Before the chestnut was stripped it had far too much wate back over the buildings to be felled even with the help of the mighty rb44.

Quoting my kiwi friend "give a lazy man a hard job and he will find a easy way to do it!" mine is hydraulic power ;-)

Machines make this work so much easier and more enjoyable

I have looked after that particular cedar for the last 12 years or more , hopefully it will be carved and stay there for a few years yet

Some really nice pictures of that old girl

Think we have made the biggest change to it but hopefully it means it can remain part of the landscape and promote some replanting.

Thanks for the use of the valtra, made shifting the 10 - 15 ton of timber a lot easier, don't think the job would have been feasible if we'd had to carve it all up into manhandled bits and cart it off in trailers.

Hope you have room for all that timber in your yard, shame most of it is too full of cracks, shake and decay to be milled but will make some nice smelling logs.

Will be an important carving then to celebrate such a loved tree!

Oh for gods sake Silky, don't mention things like! Next thing we know Al will be getting an Avant or Boxer, just to heckle me!
