Cracking mid flight Rich!

 

This was Part of Todays job. 2 hours to get it to a stick. most of the crown was rigged down, one of the double tops removed, leaving one top and a bit of front weight to fell a big top into the garden rather than chogging down.

Felled the stick with a 372/36" ready for collection on monday.

Nice simple job.

You're running a 70cc saw with a 36" bar!?

 

I'm guessing it's not stock? Skip chain?

[josharb87]

Stock, standard chain. It's my groundys, normally has a 20".

Razor sharp it coped surprisingly well on the pine, felt more like a 28"

Standard saw or Ported? (Spudded in UK Terms:thumbup:)

 

Interesting to know that it works OK for the once in a blue moon job.

Standard stuff, previously topped spruce behind school, stripped, chipped and rung up by lunchtime.

Nice blue sky picture for you.

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

 

Been watching that wall being restored, alomg with all that fencing opposite the green. What a waste of money!!

[TGB]

Don't know the history or significance in its setting but it's a nice looking wall. I dare say materials cost something but if it's being restored with volunteer labour. The overall cost is going to be much reduced.

Completely standard for the odd job or tump cut it's fine, luckily no metal or dirt otherwise it'd have struggled on a dull chain.

I guess if it's a volunteer group that's doing the wall restoration it's not costing much at all??

The wall has a lot of historical importance and all the flints were already there after it had disintegrated, so it is only topping bricks and some lime mortar. And yes no labour costs!

The fence is also historic and is part of a bigger plan to get grazing back into the parkland.
