That's some going Jake, good work ! What avant are you running ?

[Jake Andrews]

We're running the 520 (I think) we have a grapple bucket, forks with grab, 4 in 1 bucket and a winch. Almost anything for any situation. The weekend was a good slog. Hard graft but the plan came together. We only had the rail closed for the weekend so that why we concentrated on getting them down and not processing them. Felt like a good idea until we turned up on Monday to the big mess. Machinery makes it easy though.

One from before christmas. Subbing in fir another firm. Was a bit of a nightmare. Big old cavity at the first fork from a branch removal and just about everything you wouldnt want under a tree at the bottom, gas tank, skydish, electric, roof, new fencing and no room :-(.

Woah! That tree didn't look that big until the last photo. Nice one.

Particularly fine run of pics recently. Well done lads.

 

My poplargeddon job finally came to an end.

 

Had to get these trunks up a hill to the car parking area for removal by a timber lorry.

 

The turf tyres on the Kubota would not get a purchase, so we had to winch these sections halfway, then drive up the top to get them the rest of the way.

 

The winch moaned and squealed a bit but we did it.

 

Drove home with the cheque.

Why do tree surgeons seem to feel the need to stand on trees they have knocked over?

 

I never feel the need to stand on a pile of rubble when we're doing demolition.

It's a "kind of man conquering nature" thing.

I think I've heard it all now.

 

Command and conquer, tamed the beast!

 

He's knocked some trees over and struggled to pull them out (no disrespect Dempsey)
