Vermeer Stump cutter SC50TX Stolen
Stephen Blair replied to Ruskins Trees's topic in Stolen Equipment
bad news mate, hope you get it back, i wonder if pick up landing ontop of a bus is covered by insurance:thumbdown: -
crawlers need low loaded, counties do about 12mph, you cover a big area matt, if i were you i would bo for the mog winch machine in clasifieds. 3 seats, 50mph, 2 remote control winches on it, you can put a chip box and get a chipper mounting on the back blade aswell.

bad crownlopping caused it
-
maybe, but if you took that limb off, lifted the other wee ones so basically crown lifting it by approx 35 feet, wouldnt that help the tree. what if i gave it a new name ' crowlopping '
-
thump off that big left hand lower limb, that should take some weight off the old girl
-
let someome else make a loss, they wont stay in business long.
-

thats me that is

practice, and caring helps. most of the time you can get away with a sloppy hinge, and if you are using a blunt saw this isnt going to help. put in your gub, come forward and look at it, fix it if you have too, straighten it up. but when you are doing something big or with a lot of lean or especially winching then you need to get it right.

there was a cracking thread back in january i think, i think gibbon started it. it was all about sayings and stuff we called things, my favoutite was 'dog eggs' lol by the way, lol means laugh out loud. it took me ages to work that one out ha ha
-
me too john, i am lazy and just click on unread posts lol
-
it is always the most useless person with a saw, going straight for the most tensioned limb possible, then they jam it, then they nearly pull the handles off it trying to get it out, then you have to go and cut them out, but they have done it in a big fork and it is the worst possible place to get a saw stuck aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
cheers guys, never check the lounge anymore. lol i was wondering why i was getting texts from you lot. thanks again:thumbup:
-
the weather here is great just now, i am working in Bute this week, so a ferry trip and stunning views to be had:thumbup:
-
depending on how i am processing a tree or what equipement i have depends on how i tackle a job. but if i was just wanting to log up a big felled beech in a field, then i would start at the edge and work my way in, i wouldnt want to be under any limbs or standing on the tree, and i would want to keep it balanced at all times, keep away from the big tension limbs until you have the weight of it if you are a beginner, but sometimes they are the first ones you take out to get it all on the deck easier, if its a spruce, like what most of us trained on then just folow the steps you were shown. dont walk with out the break on have good footing. but it all comes with experience and always give the tree and saw the respect it deserves
-
