Winching with a GRCS

[Marc]

Did a fairly big job last week felling a load of Populars and overgrown Willow along a river bank.

The site was very difficult to access, with only foot access possible, the last tree crew who worked there only did the easy stuff, anything big overhanging the river was ignored.

But were not like that, we managed to do 95% of the trees but after struggling with a fiddle block and pull ropes we decided the worst needed mechanical assitance to get over.

 

A few phone calls later and we manged to get one, big thanks to Nod for getting us one at short notice.

 

Its not the quckest or lightest bit of kit, but it sure got the job done with ease.

 

we did bigger trees but here some of the pics I got
