Great pictures everyone.

 

Finally a job with a half decent weather system, a camera and a bit of time and remembering to take some pictures...

 

Had a large beech to dismantle today at one of the site we work at. Got a much larger one to do in a week or so with a 65t crane coming in to save my back ;)

Today's was on the edge of woodland so just flopping the limbs top and fell. A decent area to land stuff in and stack on site, we just couldn't obliterate the surrounding woodland (too much)

 

The tree had been condemned by a consultant and due to the lean, ganoderma brackets at the base and liability issues meant she had had her day.

 

Felled the stick waist height as it was a bit punky at the bottom.

That the 30" bar on the 66?

 

Looks smaller than that. How you finding the new sprocket?

Yes mate that is the 30z

 

You are probably missing a few inches in the visual as the stem was downhill from myself, plus I was standing on the stump so looking down on it.

 

Trick of the camera.

 

Re the sprocket. Cuts great but if you really lean on in big hard wood it bogs down a bit if the cutters are dull.
