198 mature poplars to fell Coalville.

What is the long term plan. Why stump grind? It will hike the price alot and poplar will rot out relatively quick in forestry terms. Roots sucker without stumps.

As said a digger of destruction will probably best for cost effectiveness.

That was a brilliant video!

But would it be economical to move all that kit for 200 trees? Just interested

[Stephen Blair]

Depends on how much the customer is willing to pay.

Easy enough job if the money's right.

I think they would be to big for that harvester.. It's a pretty straightforward job with the right kit.

 

The site needs to be cleared to allow access for wagons, lorries and tankers. They are an established client so would like to sort it for them..

Nice video and 4 mins 10 secs in that's some arbor trolley

not at 35-45 DBH; my little H754 with supercut 100 head would deal with those sizes with the occasional double cut. That h480c head in the video is a 680mm opening / 710mm cutting head

so How long do you think that job would take? I reckon with my setup about 2-4 weeks depending on the spec. How long with harvesters?

Just a thought, is it worth considering Helmdon as part of the overall plan? If the site is fairly flat and access good then extraction may be OK, there's a decent load and Helmdon are reasonably near and sometimes looking for good, clean poplar.
