    I am using the Marlow 11mm, with th BDB, and i am a heavy climber. It works but not very well, on long descents if you stop it starts to creep, and won't hold. So i am going to have to get a 11.7mm to see if that is any better.

    The ivy was adding about half an hour of process time to each tree. It would have been easier to remove it in the wood, but the owner wanted as much brash as possible removed from site. If the rain ever stops i am going to have a massive bonfire with the kids to burn it. Bring on the belly pork.

    I was wondering when the stump police would be along. It was left high to allow the skidded stems to go around the corner, without scuffing the trees behind that were being retained.

    I started off extracting with the Nuffield, but it was too small to deal with the larger trees. So the Zetor did the lions share. It is not often that i deal with trees of this diameter. On the larger trees the 10m lengths were coming in at 1.5 m3, and the mighty Nuffield was struggling to pull them. But for winching it is ideal.

    Nothing exciting, just a small spot of larch felling and extraction. [ame] [/ame][ame] [/ame][ame] [/ame] Enjoy

    They use the auto belays that they use for climbing walls, rigged through pulleys to create three levels of breaking, so that the deceleration is gentle. If the midges weren't so bad i would have taken some photos.

    There is no perhaps about it.

    Nope, the bloke who you can see in the film, managed just over 100mph. I was hoping that the fish and chips i had beforehand would give me a bit of extra momentum.

    It was a good surprise. It did not feel like 95mph, as i was so high up. The most interesting bit was how they set up the breaking system, well i found it interesting.

    I was also under the impression that gardens are exempt from forestry regulations.

    Nice looking woods, good video.

    The cost of a tree report
  18. slack ma girdle
    It means that i get £200 more per load.

    24.65 tons of saw logs (larch) £1040, which equals 31.5 m3 or £1260. I know how i am going to to sell them.

    I have been having good results with a 20/1 mix that is squirted into a cut stem below a node. i was part of some triales in Cornwall many years ago, and the weaker mixes had a better kill rate. The reason being the chemical was much more mobile and the uptake greater. I left Cornwall before they completed the trials, but the knotweed i have been treating seam to bear this out.

    Pictures?? What make and where did you get it from?

    Industry guidance for felling trees above an undergound water main. I have referred to HSE G47, and NJUG10, but i can not find anything that gives spacific gidance for the removal of said trees. Welsh water have bent over backwards in being unhelpful in this matter, some of you loons out there must have to do this, what do you refer to ?

    It has a beautiful pink flower, and quite common on the western oceanic heaths around here.

    The block of Sitka next to the larch i am currently clearfelling is all massively defoliated. I have been meaning to look into why, and now i probably know why. Thankyou
