Could that one not just be felled?

It would have gone mate, but it would have landed within inches of a live railway track with 15,000 Volt power lines - So decided to just chop her down in 2 lumps rather then one!

Spent this morning finishing off forwarding some firewood on a local estate, nothing odd about that on the whole, but was such a nice site to be working on.

 

It's some woods surrounding a lake which is far enough off the beaten track to be a bit of a haven for wildlife, there were Swans, Canada Geese, Pinkfeet, Moorhens and Mallard as well as a few odd Pheasants and a Buzzard or two floating about.

 

It was also a bit odd as there was barely any brash or stumps to deal with as a Mulcher had been through a week or so ago so i was like a motorway in places (apart from where the mulcher wheelings were 4ft deep )

 

Over Friday, Saturday and a couple of hours today I got 47 loads out. working on the downside and sayign 2T per load, I'm pretty chuffed as that was all with the kubota and little trailer and yesterday saw 26 loads out - just don't look too closely at the stacking though as it was all ramdom lengths from about 6ft to 14 ft - it's stacked a lot neater than I'd expected it to.

 

Another thing a bit unusual was that I think almost every part of the job so far has been done by Arbtalkers, even if they are lurkers

 

Few pics of my view from the tractor. It doesn't look it in the photo, but the stack is about 130ft long and between 8 and 10ft tall.

 

Nice set up. What horse power is the Kubota and what spec is the trailer and crane?

It wasn't bad - seemed odd to be able to get into top gear running round the wood.

 

Weather was ace, jut ended up with a sunburnt face with white bits where sunglasses were

Not 100% sure on power but 30 something. Trailer is a 4T weimer with an oddball 3m weimer crane. An extra metre on the crane would make a huge difference but it works OK with the stumpy one and can lift loads more than it looks like it should.

 

It's very similar in build to the Farma stuff.

 

The tractor and trailer work really well together, the only thing the trailer dosn't like is side slopes.

Using some clever stuff its 79.6ft

 

What'd the clever stuff Ian? Sounds interesting.

Also sounds like you need to get out more often.
