Hi all we have a weeks felling of big! Lapsed willow pollards along a river. we have budget to put a digger on the job to help with fishing some of the material out of the river should the need arise and handling/stacking the log on the bank but I can't find a machine bigger than 5 tone with a log grabto hire Will a five tone be man enough for it or am I wasting my time surely better then nowt right?

 

Thanks in advance

I use my 3 tonner to help with river bank clearance- what it can't reach we will just put a strop round and pull it closer and what it can't lift just cut smaller- it still lifts a decent bit of tree out of the river and we wouldn't have been without it.

5 ton will be that much better- but I still say bigger the better for this kind of work...
