Can you cut any smaller???

Rainy here Jim!

Are you feeling all inadequate:lol:

Does a snow blower chop it up ?

Can you imagine calling the snow blower company and saying you live in a desert:lol:

That's how it's done Bob!! Proper job!!

Someone bet me too it! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VT8w7D1apwU&feature=youtube_gdata_player]Innovative Tumbleweed Removal - YouTube[/ame]

The doing it by hand would be sole destroying , I think they need a forage harvester idea for biomass, just drive up and down the roads. I think the scale and volume would be mind blowing though!!

Gidoosh!!!!!!!! Very nice!

It's not the Mog, my son just built the 360 digger with scrap grab and it's not that! Is that a tractor on the table?

I couldn't believe this when I saw something similar on telly last night! A small bush has 200,000 seeds and when they roll they spread them! Enjoy:001_smile: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEFR3pIm-IU&feature=youtube_gdata_player]Tumbleweed storm in rush - YouTube[/ame]

I do miss a tractor and crane though.

I was just about to put a reminder in my phone!

You underestimate the force young Arb, those big tanks can take a beating, it's just the breather caps you need to watch

Ok ok, if I'm honest, I'd pump through the bottom stems with the 46 at head height and run out the way, use my Jedi master mind steering non hinged undercuts and fix the gutter with my plug key standing on the huge pile of brash

I'm a better safe than sorry kind of guy, I see a kids trampoline in the garden andis already proven that being the size it is isn't safe for its location, I'd go hard get it over and done with and then he can relax! Leave enough for a swing and a tree house. Chestnut is very britol and grows back very well.

If there's room and depending on thickness of limbs I'd put a rope around the top limbs, back cut them below the gutter with my pole saw and pull them away from the building.

Happy new year folks:thumbup1:

I bet that winch helped!

Love the crane shot! Lowered 1 thing this year! Ta da!!

It's called the firewood forum Members already do it.

Now that's a good idea! Sell them to the campers:001_smile:

What do you wish to use the chip for? If chipped with sap in the branches and put in dumpy bags, it will decompose and try to compost and basically rot out your bag and if you want the chip for chip then this is not the way to do it. Unless you are working with some one else, heading off to chip and bring back the chippings your using 2 vehicles so your going to do a fair bit of walking back for the other vehicle. An old 35 is a great tractor, but for woodland work and running a chipper, it won't take long to realise its maybe not the tool for the job. If you do stick with the 35 then look for a gravity fed pto chipper, very simple and no hydraulics to bother about. If you have a Kawasaki Mule then look for a cheap tow behind chipper, you'll get 1 for a grand and stick some flotation tyres on it and away you go, put high sides on the mule and you have a great little chipping unit, stick a winch on the front for woodland work, I have 1 on my RTV and it's great. Hope this doesn't come across too doom and gloom:biggrin:

Great pic! I bet that ash skid mark is still there:biggrin:
