The absolute worst tree to do in that weather.

 

Doing it in a harness and spikes would be hairy.

Why extraction buy hand mate ?

There's a steep embankment no machine would make it up without wrecking the place. The ground is really wet and soft too. Thought about winching, but no direct line of sight.
Got a couple of strong lads though.
The only reason I'm extracting firewood is the clients wood yard is 5 miles away,
and a personal thing, I can't waste wood.

Should have got a horse to drag it as it was a bridleway.

That's not a bad idea, the ground is ridiculously uneven though and covered in stumps.

Just a few recent bits and bobs. In fairness I've been taking a step back off the tools, heavily reducing my climbing as the lads are able to do it. Just looking at replacing the skid steer and digger so when I'm needed I can sit on my bum and be helpful.

Nice stuff.

For me the big money job this week was reducing 12 oaks in a raised garden.

In an effort to sway you  in the direction of the telescopic loader, here’s the cord being loaded over a wall direct into the back of the van.

Hi Mick,

How do you rate the Multione? I've got a demo on site next week and was curious to know your views. [emoji106]
