Nature truely is a wonderful thing.

Sounds like you have a working system. Would this not come under IRATA regs, or is that for danglling on the rope. The system may be full proof, but don't under estimate the fool.

:sad:Wot no baffling explainations with lots of latin:sad: This site will be alot poorer for it.

Good vid, good music. That is a good idea cutting a mouth on the step cuts.

He is down then. Did he break the sound barrier ?

Much quicker than doing it by hand. You quickly disappear under huge amounts of brash, so you need someone who is good at multi tasking on the crane, and a well organised site. Log barron has one, and i am sure that he will have some pearls of wisdom for you.

My tirrol air/ fighter thingies, they gert black £200 boots have lasted six years, and there is still a bit of life left in them. So far they are the best boots i have had. Sent from my Galaxy arse using tupping talk. Check ALL the simple things first.

I have used these for years. (I still have five of my original six rods that are now 15 years old) Associated Utility Supplies Limited Glass Fibre Rods Not the cheapest, but they will last along time. you can cut, prune, thread you rope into the tree, pull out hung up trees and branches. And they are insulated to 11KV Why would you want anything else

Just been sent this: May I refer you to this excellent article in Guardian / Observer, quoting at some length the Danish forest pathologist. Die-back kills off 90% of Denmark's ash trees. Britain faces a similar threat | World news | The Observer “ In the state-owned forest in Zealand, north of Copenhagen, forest pathologist Iben Margrete Thomsen says their hope is that around 1% of ash in Denmark may prove resistant and survive. Passing a stand of balding trees, she points out one that still has a normal leaf cover – "but, of course, we don't know if that is truly a resistant tree or one that will be affected very soon. In the end, though, only the few ash trees which are not susceptible to the fungus will be left. At first it was only the younger trees, and then we started to see it in the older trees too. Now I can see it everywhere. The fungus itself doesn't immediately kill the tree, but if you think of it acting a little like the HIV virus it weakens the immune system and allows some other disease to come in. It is the secondary disease that will finish the tree off.”.... “The rest of Europe wants the UK to act. They are saying 'get a ban' because they have seen what this disease can do. But whether or not it's too late?" She shrugged. "It may be a case of shutting the stable door when the horse has bolted. Time will tell." We are taking a risk based approach – we are still buying and distributing ash where we have assurances including that all trees are only UK grown. However supplies of infected ash have been imported and have been distributed for planting and our concern is that waiting for the plant health authorities to act may not be sufficient to stop this process quickly enough. Once this has happened it is the landowner – your client – who faces the consequent costs. Plant heath orders are confidential so we have to seek assurances direct from nurseries. This might shift the balance back in favor of smaller nurseries and we are not adverse to paying for guaranteed quality and good customer service.

There are on the forestry commision wales web site, tenders for skidding work in north Wales. Sent from my Galaxy arse using tupping talk. Check ALL the simple things first.

Ah the joys of forestry. Bogging awfal working conditions, but everyone is still smiling. You can not beat the satified feeling of standing by a gert pile of stacked timber at the end of the day.

Cut it before christmas and sell it.

Hed these sent to me the other day: http://www.academicjournals.org/jaerd/PDF/Pdf%202012/14MayConf/KeBler%20et%20al.pdf http://bfw.ac.at/400/pdf/fsaktuell_44_7.pdf It seams according to some of the research that: If it turns out that actual tree death is not that common (even the FC "pest alert" note states the disease causes leaf loss and crown die back and that it may lead to tree death) it actually sounds unlikely to "spell the end for the common ash across Wales", but could spell the end of production of good ash timber. Don't believe the hype generated by the newspapers

You can't I have never known mistletoe to have a major effect in the trees health. Just keep cutting it back when it gets too big.

The more you cut it the more it grows. But bear in mind it is parasitic, so it will be stealing goodness from the host tree.

I will third that. Precision filling anywhere. Sent from my Galaxy arse using tupping talk. Check ALL the simple things first.

Surely it would have been better to climb first and remove the tops before felling. It would have remove alot if the stress and danger when felling. Interesting idea using the two saws at the same time. Sent from my Galaxy arse using tupping talk. Check ALL the simple things first.

Eeeeee rite champion.

I like it, you come across very profesional. Just what you need for a promotional vid.

Do you mean this one ? 12 tonne snatch / pulley block off road 4x4 recovery essential for winch 2:1 | eBay I think your winch will distroy it very quickly. You will need something with much heavier duty bearings Like this: AHH i can not find it Clarke forest did do some heavy duty snatch blocks, but i can not find them.

The trouble with specializing is you tend to loose focus of the whole picture. Life is all you need 'man'
