Felling big stuff

[Pete Mctree]

Bash it down the track in one,cut it into bits the Heizo can eat and blow it into Skips or Grain Trailers.

 

Easy day for two.

 

a plan worth considering

Yep, and it wont even break the plant in the pot.

no point messing about with 2 climbers buddy just have 2 men on the ground one trimming out and one chipping, theres nothing in the way to damage. crash it down bit by bit, like the other bloke said depending on if you have to take the chips and wood away, your looking at around 4 good truck loads of chips depending on your chipper and same again for wood. £1800-£2000k

Plenty to think about. The big kit belongs to the estate. I've just got to get it down. The estate sells chip for biomass so will have to see where the goalposts lie in regards to that.

 

Cheers guys. Hope to see you in April for a beer Pete.

Fell in one if you have the kit to deal with it.

Fell it down the track, have some big machines to shift it, you wil be done by lunch.

 

Yep, big winch, in a oner...

[Mark Bolam]

Fell in a oner if possible, and sounds like the chipping is under control with the Heizo, but the trick will be shifting the heavy. At 59"dbh there will be plenty of it. You mention tractors, what grabs/hiabs etc. can you call on?

 

Move the plant pot.

[mistahbenn]

I reckon it wont reach the plant pot

[Old Mill Tree Care]

ok then 1 day with the plant 1200 quid, ballpark figure. (assuming it's your gear and not the clients)

 

No where near enough. If it was three days with three men doing it manually you'd be looking at around £2200+vat.

Big machinery and speed doesn't reduce costs by a penny, it reduces time on site.
