Took a couple of oaks out, forgot the lowering device.
Needs must when the devil drives.

Old school looking rope

How’s the avant comparing to the multi one?

Same thing different colour or more different ?

It’s my ‘burner’ rope for simple everyday stuff, natural crotch, pulling with the machine etc.

As for the Avant/MO
Very similar, one has got to go though!

Walnut reduction from this morning. Fiddly bugger and my least favourite kind of work these days. 

 

I much preferred the willow that I "reduced" in the afternoon 😁

I can admire the skill needed to do it.

Nice windblown eucalyptus today, 1 load of chip, 2 trailer loads of logs.

What wasn't so nice was the drag, down steps, under arches, round sheds😅😅 

The tracked dumper being worth it's weight in gold again, taking the logs to the trailers that couldn't get within 50 yards of the job👌👌

Hope you charged enough!

I've had worse days....👌👌

I wouldn't want to do it every day but 1 a week would be very welcome.

Much underrated 3 ply, and many uses.

A mate is scrapping an old ocean-going tug and I took the forestry winch to help him get it to a slipway today - it was a nice change from the norm!

(I don’t know what the boat weighs and scale in the vid is hard to guage, but the crankshaft weighed 5.5 tonnes when he pulled the engine out to get the hull sitting higher in the water!…)

Had some fun loading a lump of Lime yesterday, got it on with a bit of wriggling.

 

 

 

But 50m away from base this happened.

Why bother with stump removal in what looks like a livestock field?
