Made a pretty decent job of that site in just three hours. Lack of lift height and reach are the killers on a micro, especially loading the fire. It’s also awkward to activate the aux pedal- my knee was hurting by the end. Modification needed. In its defence, it’s all that would fit through the gate, it did it a lot faster than I thought, and it handled carrying the bramble bundles in high speed without struggling at all! Most of all, it made money, £470 for half a day. Just as well as it’s the first time it’s been out the shed for two months.

Few pictures of being out on Friday removing a ash that was flagged as high priority with the meelo, this machine surprises me every time we use it just how efficient it is, the top I took was about 1000kg and in a small garden would have been a decent tree in its own right!

I had been wondering about a 360 tele and a decent shear. Looks like an excellent set up. 

 

What will it cut and hold at maximum reach?

Quite a decent lump, has a 75cm bar in it soon to be swapped for a 80cm
Will happily grip 1.2m

20m up, 10m out you can still cut and hold a 1600kg lump of tree.  That's some serious kit there. Huge admiration for people who are willing to invest it this type of kit.

I totally agree. And best bit is John has managed to keep his cool in some seriously testing situations, and see the project out to where he is now. He could have easily thrown the towel in, but has marched on and is now reaping the rewards. 
 

Bravo to that man! ??
