Piccies of last weeks Job

[antwood]

Taking down very poorly beech.

Quite fun as everything to be lowered back on to 'our' side of boundary wall as neighbour had put an nice expensive and imovable hen ark directly underneath crown.

 

Climber in pic Scott Reed, not me.

Well why wear yourself out when he's 14 yrs younger than me and not recovering from a dislocated shoulder... scares me more watching somebody else though:scared1:

 

Good test for new saw as well

Antwood how does the makita fair for this work?

answers to questions

 

the winch was due to my cautious nature???

We took stems down in a couple of big sections and I wanted to be sure they went exactly were I wanted them as steep slope to right hand side of tree finishing at back of house so didn't want a couple of tons of timber bouncing and rolloing in through kitchen door at 20mph!!!

 

Maikta/Dolmar, first job with it and very happy on this showing. Cost under 400 ex vat, 28" bar was only 70 odd quid on top and it went through beech like hot knife through butter (customer wanted disks he could manhandle about after we left) and it fairly wizzed through stem.

 

All in all nice day, nice weather and nice view of Lake District too
