Chunky spruce...

[Tom D]

We had to fell this old edge tree today as it was moving its root plate.

 

Height: 36m

Girth: Chunky

Weight. 8-10ton?

29.6m of 10"+ sawlogs, knotty though..

Too big for the harvester Tom?

[skyhuck]

Were you contracted in just to fell and sned Tom, or did you chip the bash and take the timber?????

[Stephen Blair]

Living the dream Tom:biggrin:

[Tom D]

Just fell sned and section, we tidied brash with the wee tractor. Its a forestry site so not much chipping except round car parks etc. Glad we didn't have to chip it...

[Tom D]

Not many harvesters doing that size stuff, most of it is yield class 24.

Was it for a contractor or the FC???

[18 stoner]

Got any pics of the hinge and stump Tom?

 

Just so we can pull it to bits of course, as I'm sure you're aware us "arb types" never fell low enough:001_rolleyes:

Very nice, make my spruce trees look like tooth picks.

Council. Country park job.

 

I don't have any pictures of the hinge, I wouldn't want to embarrass Andrew lol.

 

It wast too bad actually, he had to bore from both sides with the 36"bar on the 66 and release at the back due to the weight and wind direction. Not easy to make them look great.
