Two day job, large thuja hedge removal.

 

5 transit loads of chip, 1 more tomorrow so approximately 30 cube of it, using the Multione to machine feed where possible.

Schliesing eating everything, nice not to have to climb, grinding tomorrow.

 

Mick, is there much difference between your Multione and an Avant?

Never used an Avant, I believe they’re very similar, in fact (well I read somewhere) the firms were linked till an acrimonious split a good while ago.

 

The blue matched my truck better.

Grinding today, newish teeth on the Rayco makes for a pleasant day.

 

All done, chèque collected, nice end to a good week.

The conclusion to my weekend was pulling a willow tree across the river ouse I beat five other companies on the job not because I was dirt cheap but because I was the only that thought of going across the water with the tree ! The only other way out was up several embankments and over a walk way round a huge house and up a very steep drive job took total of 4hrs start to finish !

Snatch block on the loader is a nice touch.

Thanks mate yea I wanted the ability to adjust the height of the winch point

Nice work, I have done similar with my tractor winch on my Kubota, smaller tree, smaller river though.

 

Hardest part was getting it out the river and up the bank.

That's what I didn't want was the bits getting to the other side and just snagging on the bank we had 250hp pulling it the weakest link was the rope so I figured if we could alter are winchin point we should avoid any problems which we did that came up the bank lovely the stem was a good 3ft across wear I made the final cut
