Wandering Beech

Chunky tree Dave, another victim of recent massive rainfall no doubt.

Did you try and keep the crown reasonably balanced during the dismantle?

 

Yes, was fairly careful to start with as I fully expected a fair bit of movement, but there really was very little.

Never seen that before Dave. Glad it all went safely mate. How long were you there for ?

 

The job was priced for just over 2 days, but fortunately the neighbours (one of whom is an old client) wanted work doing which I costed at 1 day. We were there for 3 days, so made good money :thumbup1: with the bonus of about 9 tonne of nice size Beech firewood.

 

The deal was than any amount of brash and timber could be left on the clients side of the river, so we took the timber we wanted and burned the brash from the river side.

 

It was a job that just went really well, ever the weather was in our favour :thumbup1:

Will the trunk go off to a mill, or is it firewood?

 

The trunk will sit where I felled it and provide a home for all manor of wildlife:thumbup1:

 

Not many mills would even want a butt of that size, Beech is not rare and smaller butts produce most of the timber buyers want at much lower cost.

Good stuff Dave.

Bet your lad was glad of the burn-up.

Would have been a gruelling drag!

If necessary, can you use the crane to shift bunches of brash to the front-mount?

You really should post more pics.

But then we all should!

 

Yeah, burn up is alway a bonus, especially this time of year :thumbup1:

 

Yes the crane will reach well beyond the chipper, so we often move brash with it when needed.

 

Yes we really should make more of an effort to take pic's and post them:thumbup1:
