the 'todays job' thread

It’s the clearance of grindings that kills.
 
’two more barrows and that’ll do it lads’
 
’we like to leave it a bit proud as it’ll settle down and you don’t want a hole do you sir?’

We took the tree down earlier on in the year. But the skid steer broke a load of slabs (that we had to replace) so the last bit was all wheelbarrows and blocking down.

Nasty,  at least Redwood grinds like butter, which is some compensation.

It's never the grinding I dislike but always the tidy up, that's why I built this for when access is good enough, even reaching over fences and walls is possible

I flirt with getting a clamshell to fit on my grapple.

We use a clamshall as a grapple seems to work alright 

[Gray git]

Really useful thing, with the quick change bracket and pipes it takes less than 5 min to change from timber grab to clam shell and less than 10 min to lift the tipper on as well. Not tryed it yet but hoping the grinder will fit between the headboard and tipper.

Also carry a shear grab
Few pictures from last week taking out some fieldside sycamores over a wobbly wall and not enough room to fell whole back into the wood.

So is this better than tapping it with the blunt end of an axe?
