I would imagine so

Funnily enough his mate nearly killed himself last year, tried pulling a wind blown ash out of another tree but a big limb was stopping it coming free, so he got out to cut the limb off, bearing in mind he had now put it under massive side tension with the tractor, last thing he remembered was the tip of the bar touching the limb, he eventually woke with the saw on top of him still running with severe head and facial injuries, and lost a lot of blood, to top it off he also ended up with septicaemia from it.

He could just get a 20" bar and problem solved, as long as he left an hinge

I know what you mean, but if he doesn't know to leave a hinge in the first place he isn't going to how to bore the centre out of it. Even so you can only fell 2 and half times your bar length

What hinge?

It's the extra expense on all our insurance and the extra h&s measures we will all have to take when he does kill himself that worries me more

Send me your number mountain man, I'll pass it on to him

What was he going to do if it didn't go over? With a 14" plug in the middle it needs a fair bit of lean to crack that off, with a fair chance of a barber chair, these are bigger than they look in pics, if it barbered and collapsed on its self you're not going to out run it, my point is he has no idea of the things that can go wrong when felling a tree like that

No one hurt yet, the guy is a window fitter, no idea what he's doing, no ppe, but he's got a log burner so all trees are fair game, there were some much worse than this that he felled last year

Nice attempt at a burn up

Few widow makers

Nice hinge

Keep expecting to find someone dead under one of these one day, they are about 90ft tall and upto 40" dia, felled with what looks like a 13" bar, the plug in the middle is about 14" and the ones they have felled so far had enough lean and weight to cause a serious barber chair

Earnshaws at Huddersfield should be able to sort you out

I thought someone had shed their load on the motorway

The rock croft ones are decent but don't stop fine dust

Some more

A gaggle of land pigs

I dare say there are far more cars/vans on the road in bad condition and un insured than there are agg vehicles

Is the resilience work paid per span on wpd? Not priced up on hours?

Any pics pal?

 

I use plant trailer for chipper, grinder and digger when needed

I'll get you some tomoro if I get chance

Brian James do a trailer for timberwolf with a hydraulic tilting bed

Everyone should have a valtra to love :-)

Is the chain 0.63?
