That's like an ambulance with no defibrillator .

 

When the office called for recovery of "the van" they forgot to mention that pertinent detail of it towing a chipper.

 

Not all recovery trucks has tow bars. Spec/underlifts can have a towbar attachment, but not all do. At the AA all our tilt and slide trucks had them, but not the beavertails.

 

(This was a twin-deck tilt and slide with an underlift.)

Few fallen trees to pull out of canal.

I think the method statement took longer than the job on this one.

Nice one.

Valmet?

That's a fast flowing canal!

[s o c]

Yes. Tom D,s old one.

yes ,serious flow.

Canal was built in the 1850s (famine relief project) to link two large lakes but area is a maze of caves and underground rivers so there’s stretches with no water and stretches  like this one.

Nightmare Moose!
 
Day 3 of a connie kill-fest, probably a great example of why topping connies is so truly shite.
Dead middles, inclusions everywhere and inevitable massive crown spreads.
BT lines, LV feed, house and fragile fence in the mix.
12 loads of chip and one of rakings. Luckily all the heavy was staying.
 
Finished at dark o’clock with a cold one.
 
Met this little fella on the lane just before the job.

Nice. I caught this little one and released him elsewhere. Somewhere not near my chickens and ducks ......

Today we went stump grinding. Job had been underestimated, as we had a 7' redwood stump to grind with some other small stuff.

 

 

Took the best part of 7 hours to get the whole thing done, skid steer tore the arse out of the garden. Huge pile of cutting to be picked up tomorrow by our grab lorry.

 

I thought we'd have a load of extra length loading the two on my 18' trailer, but it took it all up.

 

 

They have some beautiful redwoods here. First time i've knowingly seen them in person, really stunning.

 

 

And bloody huge!

Ask Santa for some track matts for Christmas......

Chuck some boards on the deck around the stump too. Makes clearing up a whole lot easier and leaves the job looking really good after you are done.
