Skyline timber and tree extraction

[Mr Ed]

I was very hungry, not Jim its Roach up the first and me up the second, and yes, slow puncture on the volvo

[Dean Lofthouse]

Ed, doesn't the skyline have feet ?

 

It looks like all the pressure is being put on the tyres when you put out and tension the anchors

[Mr Ed]

No feet dean, all the pressure goes on the tyres.

[Dean Lofthouse]

It must try jumpimg around a bit then

[Mr Ed]

A little... Get the tiebacks tensioned properly and there is next to no movement.

What a great sequence of shots throughout the job, and a good result. Nice to see a different perspective of tree work, big kit muddy holes and all.

Most of the time Andy the biggest kit operating on site was Mr Ed ;-)

That looked like an amazin job!! Stunning pictures too!! Looks like you guys worked ya nuts off aswell!

Really nice to see some different aspect to tree work too

[Stephen Blair]

i know we all probably slagged off the axemen program, but you guys must have a new respect for those guys working in their conditions and gradients, pictures are great some are beautiful but i bet you guys must of been busting your nuts off, broken wires, marshes, peaty ground and breakdowns and huge machines bogged must of taken it toll. well done

[Mr Ed]

I have a huge amount of respect for those axmen - If you'd have put a film crew with us I reckon you could easily put together 45 minute film of mayhem, danger, stupidity, cockups and foul language.

 

LAST PICS....
