Clearing up a failed limb on a large estate up dale this morning

[skyhuck]

Good sized Elm.

Good sized Elm.

 

 

She was a beauty!!

Lotsa very dead old coastal oaks today.

 

Wore my highly modified Buck Titanium Inoculator gaffs, no stomping about whatsoever, more like tip toeing with a very light step. Note the grease zirt to insure smooth prompt needle retraction.

What a great picture Jomoco.....straight out of Mad Max! And sounds like it works like a dream....tip toe-ing....NOT Smashing.

[jomoco]

Thanks Silky.

 

Once I can make my Inoculators needle wear adjustable up to 3/4's of an inch, I may start manufacturing them.

[silky fox]

And what a boot!.....you certainly mean buisness with that hardware on your foot.

[jomoco]

I won't be happy till that whole needle mechanism's bouta 1/2 inch closer to the titanium shank, and considerably lighter, and of course adjustable for needle wear.

 

But they're a dream come true for dealing with petrified dead woods so far.

Are they adjustable in length or spring loaded ?

Such fine points ok on pines etc

Gave this beech a 90% reduction! It's a woodland edge beech which had become weighted on the one side, heavily unbalanced and nearly every main branch had suffered squirrel damage. In fairness to Taffupatree he had it down to the two fingers in a few hours and even went home early!
