Great job there Jim!

Just got a 3.5t digger to help on the bigger jobs, and to save my back.

Nice job we've been on recently

 

 

 

About 800 meters of river bank scrub/trees to clear leaving any large specimens, big Oaks etc, digger was ideal really as we could fell any leaning trees straight into the river and just pull them up over the bank into the field.

Tak lifted some fair chunks of timber.

2nd picture, the backround trees were the river bank trees we felled, opened the river right up and hopefully should be more inviting for salmon spawning now.

Few more, the last 2 were my old digger tb016 doing some riverbank revetment works last year using materials (Alder) cut from the bank- drove in some uprights and tucked some trunks behind and then backfield behind using weave willow and tons of silt which we dug out from deposits the river had left after years of flooding.

Great work on the riverbank Mathew.

Loving the TB016, they really are a classic machine, and I'm on one myself at present doing drainage around a house.

Is it really possible to get so much work from so little diesel?

 

 

Just a video of the Menzi Muck Walking Excavator I had hire in from Sean Hughes of All Terrain Manx, on an awkward Rhodie Clearance job.

 

Sadly Giles who does the Video's was let down with his purchase of a Drone, so he missed the best action of the week, and was only able to film what was the final fairly flattish section for the Menzi as it finished off.

 

It had been an interesting one, as we had the Menzi safety winch tethered to a 24 tonne Komatsu for safety, but it also greatly assisted the Menzi getting about on what could be really soft in places slopes.

 

I must say Giles really has got some stunning camera/video kit, and puts together some great video, plus he finally took delivery of a really trick drone that should be ideal for some of the big crane takedowns etc some of you guys get up to.

 

The location was simply stunning to work in.

Impressive machine.

[Breezeblock]

that looks like quite an awkward machine to master
