Fair play.
Wind looked horrible to do a big pop in.

yup, it was somewhat windy in sunny Yorkshire today😀

 

Calmed down a bit now, and gone back to beeing muggy.

 

Nice job though, some decent kit there.

Last 4 days pruning 6 Holm oaks and a Oak which is in decline do to being struck by lightning many years ago. Holm Oak had 4 years of growth just used loppers in the end to do most as quicker then saw, but killed arms. Loader made single track road clearing easy. Wind was a major problem blowing about 45km/h.

@woody paul depending on the thickness, those battery loppers are brillliant for regrowth like that.

It was also the reach I got from loppers rather than saw which was handy. 

Seen battery secateurs and very tempted but would not have reach. 

About 80% of growth was inch and a little more.

Get the gloves that stop you chopping your fingers off, cheap at the price.

Don’t be daft, they grow back in the spring.

A pleasant morning doing some very tight ash extraction. 
 

would have been a lot easier, cheaper, neater and more efficient if they’d just had me and the three tonner fell and extract the trees rather than task a gang of tree surgeons with a forestry operation but it’s by the hour so who cares.
