Started felling 200 boundary Oak trees on a farm, lots of fence wire, high fells and pretty poor form. Got the French cutters coming in next week to help so I have left them these.😉

Ha!

That will pay them back for the Battle of Hastings!

Decent load of oak this afternoon that we dropped 18 months ago.

Farmer decided he didn’t want it after all.

Sideways rain/snow the last 2 days so I got some additions to the chipper that I've been meaning to do for a while. Brash cart mount and a vice.

Along with quite a bit of paper pushing- goes nicely with letting the paint dry on the parts, coat of paint, hour on the paper work, coat of paint😅😅

Yes just a little 3000lb atv one. Can unbolt easily to go on other things, when I make mounts for other stuff 👍

Snapped my 18mm dead eye today, rigging down pine. 5' lump approx 25" wide.

 

It's taken bigger rigs before so I'll assume it was a cycles to failure thing.

Failure obviously due to using a spudported saw.....

🤣 the 200t was just for scale, but yeah it's probably Steve's fault. I'll be sending him an invoice for a new dead eye.

So after Spuds saw was responsible for busting my deadeye, on Thursday it decided it needed to go one better and bite a chunk out of my finger.

 

For anyone considering sending a saw to Spud to get it ported, I'd recommend against it. This one is trying to ruin me.
