the 'todays job' thread

I did mate a cracking 14lb hen in fast water and low trees , was a proper fight in a stunning stretch of water ... had some belters this year from old kippers to some nice fresh ones

Looks a belter! Bet it tasted good!

Good end to the week, finishing up a job nearby, two big dead cedars and a Douglas to come out of a 25 year abandoned garden.

 

First day spent flailing down the bramble and knotweed, then two days on the trees.

 

Everything stays onsite, just the way I like it.

What is the flail like on the multione? Looks like it gets through stuff nice and easy.

Not earth shattering, you have to get used to it and use it intelligently.

 

Best on brambles and stuff like that, woody stuff more than an inch in diameter it’s not much cop.

 

Still 20 times faster than strimming  by hand though.

I see what you mean. Yes hand strimming brush can be and long tedious job.

Skillful work, and looks great.

 

But what was the spec? I mean there seems to be no targets in the environs, why was it done?

Thanks Mick.
A survey was done and they recommended to Reduce the crown height by around 4m to reduce wind and gravity loading, and to promote a lower functional crown. We can’t complain work for us

There is also a dual carriageway and footpath that runs along side the golf course and this tree. A few beech trees kept dropping limbs so they had a report done. This is at the other side of the tree

Ahh, makes a bit more sense now.
