He was not even wearing chainsaw boots!!! Just some nice tanned boots they may have even been shoes!! Shame on you BBC. Shame.

Would have been far safer and faster to use the proper kit...forage harvester with a biomass header.save icing up all those stems and manually feeding them through the timber wolf chipper!

Glad I was wasn't the only one to exclaim the issue to my missus, who promptly continued to look at Facebook

[djbobbins]

And apparently you need a chainsaw licence? Oh the irony, since (a) there's no such thing - Cs30 is not a licence, and (b) what you will really need after a few days of lopping and stacking inch thick willow at ground level is back surgery.

 

+1 for doing it with a harvester, or failing that, going DIY by rigging up a saw just above ground level and a trailer behind.

By the end of the day his back will of had it, clearing saw easier and quicker.

 

Yep, clearing saw job. I was telling my Wife that, look at the bloke bending over. Decent clearing saw op would be much neater and quicker too.

 

Or forager of course.

It was just a 4 acre test plot so why a harvester.

and what law says you shalt not use a top handle on the ground......ADVISORY from H&S, not law

I also said to my missus (and I'm not trained) 'look at that' and she glanced up from the ipad then I said 'what the hell is a chainsaw license?' and she said it was a license to use a chainsaw. So there you go. Carry on.

Missed it and will now have to look it up on iPlayer.
