Very nice!

Fantastic!!!!

Its not me stroking the stump. I think the Meripilus was causing the yellow areas of decay that only extended about 1 foot above ground level. I think the pinkish discolouration is caused by another decay organism and possibly originated from an included fork or old flush cut. The tree had had all its roots severed on one side and at least 50% of the crown had been dead for over 2 years. It would be a great stump to grind out or explore with an air spade.

I have no idea how much fuel, the bigger saws do drink it though. I was very happy not to be handballing all those logs into a vehicle

Take down of a beech tree using a cherry picker. All wood left on site:thumbup:, just one load of chip because most of the crown was dead. You can see the Merripilus fruiting body at the top of the photo of the stump.

When we used to get rascals stuck you could just pull out the choke put it in gear then get out and push. You then have to chase it when it gets free.

Dont know about the big deck ones but the standard ones are cracking. I think they can only carry 700 Kilos.

I think you can tow whatever you want with a tractor. As long as the trailer is road legal and the tractor can stop it.

Took mine today. Found the development site practical the hardest part. I will be absolutely made up if I pass it but might have just missed it on a couple. Fingers crossed, good luck everyone.

We reduced a row of beech trees in the back garden of a house in Warminster. And some guys from Downton with treemenders on written on there chipper were by chance doing exactly the same thing in the next door garden. Was that you?

I ate a load. Just the caps fried in butter with garlic. Very rich very nice but didnt agree with me and made my poo runny!

There is usually a button in the cab to lock the forks on self leveling so you dont tip the people out by accident. There is no need for controls in the basket.

I have used a Telehandler and man cage. When using a man cage you can only operate the boom and must keep the Telehandler stationary when there is someone in the cage. This makes getting to multiple locations on a tree tricky and slow. Telehandlers generally make quite a bit of mess on wet ground especially if you have an uncarefull operator. The telehandler must have a loler inspection every 6 months if it is to be used to lift people.

Needs a rope bridge. I had one.

Yea I thought they had their own team. Sounds like a nice property to work on.

Cool job:thumbup1:

Just hang yourself of the hook and push the controls with a long stick!

That skidder looks really cool. I know someone who skids wood out with an old tracked fordson major fitted with a drum winch on a very steep and wet site. I have never seen it working though as the track was off when I saw it.

Great video Reg. Great to see a proper amount of time given to a job like that to allow it to be completed in a safe and controlled way. Really like the simple speedline and the twin ropes when snatching out the big sections at the end. Thanks for taking the time to edit it all together.

Nice bit of rot highscale. Do you do much stuff for the arboretum?
-
Sparsholt students have a good reputation so you should get a job when you finish. Dont worry to much about what your getting paid and go for the job that is going to give you the best experiences. You should gain some good onsite experience during your placement in the second year. Best of luck with it.
