Backbone tree rigging

[Gray git]

Not bad really 100 per hour for nearly 150k of truck!

Aye, I doubt I'd get one on the island for that much, mores the pity!!!

 

I would have expected it to be at least double that, but then it shows how much I know.

If you're are worried about the sling slipping off one side of the backbone could you not girth hitch it onto the spine too? Bit longer to setup I guess but def not going anywhere then!

 

Great vid!

[Gray git]

Could do but kinda defeats the point of speed in this tool as girth hitching it on could pull very tight and lock itself on taking the groundsman too much time to undo so might as well tie knots.

Hiab beats manual labour everyday of the week.

 

The cost of Hiab is nearly always cheaper and more efficient, plus the lads don't break their backs shifting the timber.

 

The job is done quicker.

The check is collected quicker.

The next job is done quicker.

 

The only time I would not recommend a hiab / crane is if there is not much work on the books and three days of lumping and cleaning timber out gives your guys guaranteed work.

 

Even then though I would still want some form of hydraulics.

Nice video, great use of the hiab.

Where possible I always extract felled sections of stem out with a timber wagon, saves bumping timber around!
