Winch / Grab / Timber mover needed

[Luke Quenby]

Hi all,

 

After being let down by many 'yeh, I can do that' type folk, a friend of mine is in need of a winch for parbuckling or a large forwarder / grab / hiab to move a piece of timber.

 

Needs to be moved from grassland / parkland about 80 meters to roadside or 5 miles down the road, whichever suits. Weighs around 5.5 to 6 tons, 6'6"' diameter, 10' long approximately. For those that remember my thread about the large Oak a couple of months back, its half of that.

 

Access is good, ground fairly dry for this time of year. Needs to be moved quick as it is destined to be carved and the people who have commissioned it are getting impatient.

 

Located in central Beds, and anyone who can help out or give some names and numbers of those that might be able to would be much appreciated so I can pass them onto him.

 

Cheers all,

Unfortunately the man who was disappointed with the stump is the best and possibly nearest!
