Nice mog that! 2100? Some big lumps of timber, always so much easier with some hydraulic power to lift them off than rig then cut up to handball onto a trailer.

I think it's a U1650. It's Monkey Steves on here, he'll know. It's an awesome machine.

The mog is a 1987 u1250v which is the modern day u1650. It has a new u5000 cab on it.

She looks a lot bigger than a 1650. Nice!

Just one from today. I had to reduce the leader of this lime and give it a little tickle for aesthetics. It's naturally retrenching itself but also needed a little bit of work to be safe due to the footpath.

Today we were out felling a big holly so that our volunteer group can continue restoring the flint wall.

Nice straight single stem on that Holly Caleb.

Love the Mog/hiab action JP.

 

Could have done with similar on site today, but alas, it was a case of 'suns out, guns out'.

Took out a couple of mature Beech trees today.

 

The guy I was climbing for took a few pictures and got half a money shot...

 

Lovely day for it.

So a few years back i worked along side one of these Hiab grapple saws and i was not impressed.

 

Worked with one yesterday, with a 'kin ace operator and WOW! On this PARTICULAR job there was no more efficient way to remove the trees.

 

Averaging 40mins a tree, thats dismantled over hedges/fruit trees/roofs, in the container and logs stacked.

 

The stump pic is a 66 with 30"bar for reference, the fungal bracket had 26 clear growth rings.
