They got chipper in there so why not get van and trailer. 

I think if they could of backed the trailer up to the chipper they would of don’t you🤔. A simple solution to a problem and one I’ll remember if I come across a similar one. Launching brash from that height would create one hell of a mess and sweeping up. Thanks for posting Mick. Possibly a candidate for the overload thread as well🤔

Whether it was necessary or not, it's still a tidy idea and I like it.

[woody paul]

Well yes if they could of back trailer in they would have, lots of places you can push chipper in by hand and not get truck in. Yes it is a good idea, would be interested to know if it got block many times, looks like some thought went in to it with cramp set up at the top.

Not me, from a French site.

Thought it rather neat.

Nice.

id be a bit worried it might block though.

we’ve done a few jobs like that where we’ve used a really long tarp as a slide, works very well.

we had a massive John bishop advertisment tarp I bought off the travelers. Used to call it the John bishop method.

I can’t see it blocking with that angle.

I hadn’t expected the reaction to this, so I’ve tried to find it again to ask questions, but it was on some FB page and I can’t remember which.

One thing I have noticed from the photo is the snow on the roofs, so it has to be a mountain/ski town.

Narrow entrances, steep slopes etc, I guess the guys there are used to finding solutions to issues like that.

I reckon the arbs up top have already filled their truck and someone totally unrelated down below is going to be livid when they get back to their van

Why was so much left on the side of the tree? Looks hardly touched. Client request?

My guys are getting lazy, had to get the arb trolley out again yesterday.

All done for 2021, routine stuff, I daresay the pollard would cause a fit of the vapors if I put it on FB.
