Chain oil isn’t designed to fling though as it has tacking agents in it to stick to the chain and bar.. rock oil is my go too, stihl or husky are overpriced!

An 8t forestry winch would stand that whole tree up and over back in to the wood on to the other side in around 15 seconds , even if you don’t have the confidence in the winch or room to do that and you cut it off the butt first and winched it in it would save keeping the road shut for longer with the clear up… far from complicating , it’s the easiest safest route in my view.

That is very true but I’ll still ask that question, not out to tell any one how I would do it but just interested.

So knowing the area I’m curious if you could have got a tractor and forestry winch in the woods either the side of the rootball or side it was hung up in ?

First lot looks more like whitebeam and goat willow but not sycamore to me …second lot is white willow

Was that the guy who Jonny quick rang up in that video and propper wound him up?

Take off the tool crab gate so you can be quick draw McGraw..

Thanks Alex I wonders where I’ve been going wrong all these years , now it’s obvious I’ll bow down to the GRCS and your skills 👍

Years back I was on a site and the guy who was responsible for health and safety of the company had been demoted to grinder operator to actually do something useful for the day on a all hands on deck job, we had been winching trees ahead and chipping them on a site clearance , we stopped briefly to discuss the next tree and turning around and seeing clouds of smoke from engine oil draining in to the exhaust and him with his hands on his head doing a mad dance around in circles to a rolled machine on virtually flat ground , I looked at the boss and he looks at me and muttered something about the babe can’t even do that without messing it up before running over and turning it off.

Nearly as much as the GCRS hey! It it’s half the weight though.. I’d like to see if you could put an impact wrench on that front nut and use it for lifting.

I’ve sorted it mate, I used to be able to just paste in links without using the toolbar but I can’t now but I’ve figured it out.

Tried it on that post and it would not let me paste the link
