Connie death fest with big help from the mighty Worky Quad, 19 60 footers, previously topped at 20’, so multi-stemmed, dead middle shitbags.

All assisted fells.

Client kept the timber, 14 ‘full to the brim’ loads of chip, we aren’t in ULEZ down here.

2 full loads of dust and rakings, again mainly handled with the WQ.

 

3 days.

 

Just in, ready for my second beer now, had my first one on the way to the yard, didn’t touch the sides.

 

 

You got a little rake for the quad mate? Should be fairly cheap to fabricate a tined rake you can grab with the klou

Hedge removal.

We are eschewing grinding after we found out we could do this.

Straight through the chipper, roots et all

How is stuff getting to the chipper? Have you got a winch on the crane?

Reverse the tractor up to the branches then position the trailer at right angles to it for filling.

 

Everything was parked out of the way In that picture because  we were going to rig out the tops. Then chip up the resulting idiot pile.

Hay Bob tines bolted to a length of box section works well.

Decent sized knacked ash tree today.  Riggigged of what was necessary and then took a big top.

 

client clearing up.  Then off for an afternoon decoying Norwegian pigeons.

 

nowhere near as many birds as decoying in the Uk.  Still we got 11, so a couple of dinners.

Minus the cost of 75 cartridges.

 

If only you could shoot like Ross White….

@Mark Bolam you want this kinda thing, different makes have different lengths, you want one with both legs the same length. Baler pick up tines are much the same. Most agri dealers will have or get similar 👍

Thanks Will, they’d be just the ticket.

 

Any advice on drilling/bolting to a light rsj?

Ideally I’d want to just pick it up with the grab rather than fannying around making a different headstock for it and swapping attachments.

just get an old RSJ and hold it in the webbing so that the lower edge sits lower than the grab, it'll naturally want to sit at a bit of an angle which is perfect for clearing up. if you go steady you'll be able to clear up pretty well without any tines on it. We did it with our digger for about 3 years until I bought a purpose made brush

Oh they would have been so tedious if they had to be a climb and dismantle.
