noooo , we borrowed darlo's tractor because cramlington has ours or it's been sent to another area or something like that I give in asking. We always had our own tractor till they closed our depot.

 

You been climbing up at prudhoe on the flood bank ? Who'd you work for ?

You could have left it under there for a few years and called in them two portly fellows off swamp loggers to get it out, they always look they would work for a hand full of nuts and a shower.

Been lurking on arbtalk for a while now so thought I'd better try a picture thread.

 

We ( EA) had a job last week to help the council taking a couple of trees out of the river that they were going to drop in due to bad access.

The site had a good landslide recently knocking a big beech over and damaging an oak, also their was a decent size beech to come out aswell due to a hollow and rotten base and being close to busy footpaths and previous landslide.

 

The council lads felled the trees in and we pulled them out to the opposite bank with better access.

I had a quick dip to put the strop and winch rope on to pull it into shallower water whear I could touch the bottom and break it up a bit to winch it up the bank.

One day I hope to be as good as Shelby

On more of a swilly level now

 

Cheers Jon that winch is some tool, big step up from the smaller fransguard type we had before.

 

I just missed out on the job at prudhoe jltree.

[jltree]

Was an easy job made hard by someone who wrote the method statement.. Still left them a nice mess to tidy up...

Who you work for yourself?

[Marty O Hare]

I work for the EA now, was supposed to do the prudhoe job with a mewp, but was told I was overdue a refresher course, not allowed to climb in our area for some reason even tho have tickets from college and previous job

 

Never saw that job in the flesh, did they all need climbing ?

[jltree]

No, could of felled 90% of them but made me strip them out and reduce before knocking the poles.. Was some nice timber and all ended up as chip..!,
