Haven't posted for ages in here but finally got chance to take some photos today after I was reduced to setting up road control while a contractor came in to knock over some trees for us. Treescape came down with their 18 inch and the 8 tonner. This tree took 1 hour ten minutes from go to site cleaned and road open. Took us longer to set up the traffic management than it did to do the tree. Much as I have a beef with the company itself; the guys are an awesome bunch and it was a pleasure working with them.

 

That is one efficient set up!

Few from finishing off the monster oak today, lad who was taking the timber sent the jcb and for reasons only known to him decided to put the biggest bit on the ifor which I think could have been a smidgen overloaded. :-?

Did he manage to lift that straight on to trailer or 1 end at a time.

Lifted it up and reversed under then kinda shoved it the rest of the way, didn't do the trailer floor many favors that's for sure. Would love to have put it on the scales. Once it's carved into whatever he has in mind for it I'll call round his workshops and get some pictures of it.

Getting chipper and crane envy some nice gear and work fellas.

What's the crack with the elm sticks, is big J's new mill that long ??

I always look at a lump like that and think how much could I get on my truck then work out what it might weigh.

Ugly ass Pin Oak or Scarlet Oak. Honestly can't remember. All ended up the same though. One big pile of mulch and a couple of stems for firewood. They also did a big declining gum afterwards. Just ringing it up today and the stem is around 1m through.

Dead cedar take out, sorry it's sideways.

Saving an afternoon of ringing up and back pain.
