I think it looks fantastic. it would be nice to see more of that kind of thing. When I was working in germany, I saw a 'hedge' of mature beech trees about 50ft high and half a mile long.

Nice one Andy, that looks well cool... Were you tempted to put a giant japs eye in the top?
-
Good point about selling it on. I've actually been thinking about a combination chip / platform truck like the Yanks use - I think it would be more use than a straight platform truck.:?:
-
I'm not a fan of platforms, but I'm thinking of buying a small truck mounted version - I have about 2 miles of main road through a woodland to crown lift and dismantle all the overgrown saplings (now about 12 - 18" dia). The trees all sit atop a 10 foot high retaining wall too. I know I can hire a spiderlift, but the hire cost would about pay for a 35 - 45ft truck mount. + I can do it without hiring in extra climbers. I cant help but feel a bit guilty even thinking about it though

Opinions Of The Rear Chainsaw Attachment On The Treemotion Saddle???
Mr Ed replied to BoogieWithStu's topic in Climbers talk
I've long used the rear saw attachment on my buckingham, I like it. -
360, 270, you know what I mean. I built mine as a 360, but rarely used it beyond about 200 degrees.
-
cost wise, not sure. probably would add about £2k to do it properly. Pete, I hear you on the jockey wheel. Maybe one of those powered jockey wheels is the answer? http://www.supermover.co.uk/

Whats the little picture under your posts mean?

Just wondered how many people think this is a worthwhile feature? is it worth the extra expense? and is it best on a single or dual axle? Personaly, I built my own 12" turnable chipper a few years ago, and found it invaluable on domestic type work, especially when feeding stuff through a gateway into a chipper parked on the street. Mine was built on a Knott 2 axle low profile chassis.

I say use the T shirt design. Much better in fact.

I wonder if she could touch her head on your shins?

I was told too! I started as a nipper cleaning saws and tidying ropes. Used to have to work weekends tending brash fires (everything was always burnt in the old days) and deadwooding with a 3 strand rope, grey GT belt and a bowsaw. I never really imagined doing anything else - although now I wish I had
-
Me too! Pete's work is excellent:cool:

Talking of photo's, I was admiring that most excellent and sympathetic reduction of a birch in your avatar...
-
I bet its all paid for too
-
Nice work Reg. Practice has certainly made you perfect on the balancing of those limbs.
-
YES! An extremely good suggestion. The biggest problem with a lot of contracts within this industry is the inability to have staff on site who are not ticketed - which means they have to have passed an assesment BEFORE they go on sight to learn. It also means you might put a lad through his assesments who turns out to be a useless worker - by that time you've spent the money:mad: It would be a big boost if potential employee's could be assesed for suitability before you spend the money on their training and assesments.

Haha. Thats exactly what I thought. Will be nice checking in here on those dark winter evenings:D
-
yeah. Its pretty cool, although if you dont like bucket trucks, dont do it!

Indeed! I'm famed for my loyalty...
