the 'todays job' thread

[Mark Bolam]

Every single real pro run both.

I’m a Mac Allister man, obviously.

Day one on a dead willow takedown.

Plenty of targets.

Ross Smith doing a stellar job up top.

 

Only produced about 2.5m3 of chip, which is hardly surprising.

We’ve guesstimated 5 truck loads of heavy, and there’s no machine access, so the sack truck and wheelbarrow will get a workout tomorrow.

Very tidy!

Tricky tree that you’ve made harder by fagging on with that shiny bullshit on the yellow strop. You gear obsessed kids wouldn’t know how to spit on it and make do. 

 

 

That’s where my mind went first, probably with some natural crotching in the third dimension. Am I close?

[Mark Bolam]

Yes.

Main block stayed in the blue area, and second pulley went wherever required.

Slighty below your RHS high point at one stage.

 

We sort of feel we’ve won, we can knock it over when it gets to just below where Ross’s feet are.

But it’s a 3’ diameter butt and it’s all got to be handballed up the garden, down a side alley, across a front lawn and onto the trucks.

Choke point for access is a 2 1/2’ wide gate, which wouldn’t have come out without a load of mither, and felling some shrubs.

As long as you’ve the money on it for a handball extraction it’s ok.

Nah. It's all elbowy. Bad roll, lawn dents. Miserable chogging for the same reason but there are two of you.

I was climbing for someone once who said I could just fell a pair of butts on a block paved yard. One a bit under 3' DBH, one a bit over. I talked him out of it and chogged them onto pads, hugely unenjoyably. Suspect I was the stupid one there.
