very nice, would love to do a job like that soon. Is the yarder yours? Who makes them? Would it be better to have a timber grab on the mini digger?

Havent been on in a while, dunno why just not enough time really Just thought i would share some pics of my first felling job i did a few months ao, by that i mean the first job i did like by myself i was running the show it was me felling and a mate of mine helping out on the machines. Doesnt seem like a big job, but it ent bad for a 16 year old. The job was fall a lot of the big willow and alder trees in this marsh, and then dig the marsh out into a nice pond, i'll get some pics of what it looks like now, the pond looks lovely We had access to some nice kit to: Steyr Tractor and our Patu Forwading Trailer Manitou Loader 17ton Daewoo Excavator 5ton Dumper

very very niceeeee, 100 inches christ my granddad was telling me a story of when he worked at a saw mill (holme lacy) they had an electric chainsaw with a 7ft bar, 2 people operated it and the one on the end of the bar could swing off it as it was cutting through very big stuff and it wouldnt stop the motor it would jst keep powering through. -
very nice pic, ha good job you didnt do it today, weather was crap!
-
yeah thats a very good idea! Grants are gooooood
-
yeah i agree, i would have liked to have left it standing and just taken the bows out, we have done that a bit latley and its nice leaving a habbitat. but this is what we got told to do, the stumps are going to be dug out and then the field ploughed
-
ha yeah it will yeah its not bad, but look how rotten the trees actually were.
-
Today brought back to our place two oak trees that we fell a few months ago, ready for cutting into firewood next winter. Two nice loads on our artic trailer and our big tipper.
-
yeah i agree with this, i have been thinking about this, and hopefully this method might work for us in the summer, if we do get some work on estates or large farms.
-
very nice pics! great job! what saw you using pic two? 066?
-
just thought i would share these pics with you, the river had got behind this lot of alder and it had fallen across the river, so we cut them off and winched them out, annoyed i didnt get any pics of us "in action", you get to see the finished result though
-
very nice job! this is the sort of thing i want to get into, like a lot more. have been clearing some falling trees across a river, winching them out, not pics of it in action but might upload some of the finished job haha
-
thats a good idea to make it burn (not clean) thinking more along the lines of a few tyres dont say you've never done that in the past ha
-
nice pics! tis a great idea, i think i may have found somthing to build over the summer
-
ha was just gunna post a link to this, you beat me to it lol [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mo4K1dM2GH4[/ame] thats the sort of thing we would do

i myself have just started milling with an alaskan, therefore im a novice to, i used it for the first time on wednesday and found it was great! I also used a ladder for the first cut and it worked great! Running a sachs dolmar 153 (100cc) with a 25" bar, just put a 36" bar on and when someone wants some bigger stuff cut up will use rthat on the mill.
-
do you need a truck for just kit? or like logs n stuff to? cus i would do for a landy, but the open back ones seem to be pretty expensive, if you just need it for kit i have seen a lot of discoverys going for like £1600 at the moment
-
or the same with top handeled saw or other such equipment
-
well i am using a 100cc dolmar running a 25" bar no i havent, any links?
-
im pretty sure my family definatly dont have the right tickets, im not gunna lie,. My granddad does have somthing he had to do when working in the saw mills for yard forklifts and stuff like that, whether that covers cranes i dunno, Would like to find some more out about the tickets. As for signals, we use hand signals or just yell! ha
