the 'todays job' thread

Good work there. What a behemoth of a hedge! How were your shoulders feeling after that? Long reach work like that always used to bugger mine after a few days.

5 different rakes and 4 ladders 🙂

 

Which trimmers do you rate best seems you have a few....

I felt like it summed up the day

First time working alongside a forwarder today. I was amazed of its capabilities and the terrain it could go over, smashing over big old stumps and up steep banks.

Nice change from a string of poor access jobs the past few weeks.

Interesting little job yesterday; a small tree but severely restricted access. Not just one but two greenhouses right up against the trunk! On two sides. The closest was less than four inches away so couldn't even fit the bar in there for the back cut.
I've been trimming/maintaining the tree for the guy for years so I'm glad to finally put it out of its misery and get shot of it.

Flat wet woodland, tree quality high, bramble levels low.

I'll see your wet ground, and raise your with some not quite so wet ground, lovely timber, and some annoying rhododendrons.

I hope you are managing to keep my sawlogs lovely and clean!  The firewood boys won’t mind, but my saws don’t like mud very much….😉
