That said it is quite satisfying knocking it over after christmas:001_smile:

Yesterdays job putting up village christmas tree
-
Yeah if we are on tree job 38/39 all the way but if we are in the woods not always. Can you recommend a study(ish) telescopic ladder? I have seen one but it looked a bit cheap and nasty. My mate was looking for one to keep in truck for greasing timber crane. Cheers
-
Yeah you are right bit trickier on some of the poles with no lower branches/or bushy connys, i'd better start practicing. To be honest most of the time we just rig at head height too, just now and then its nicer to go a bit higher. Thanks for the replies Kav

Having a chat a work the other day. Would we need to have full cs38 to spike up trees to put winch cable in? Went on HSE safety day and was shown to use ladder, ratchet strap to tree, put on climbing harness and helmet, take up cable and strop to tree. Seems a lot easier when we have had climber in spikes rather than lugging ladder etc around the woods Cheers

Cheers chaps Winch is 3.5t and copes fine on what we had as long as stumps are nice n low etc. Brush cutter-yeah i know what you mean, vid doesn't show it but we mainly stacked small stuff so easier for tractor. Might look at getting self releasing pulley block so we can turn full length poles 90degrees when they get to top.

Yeah the little winch tractor is great. Dosent take up to much space on site and quick to move if we have a hanger
-

I'm in Oxford and have some largish lumps of walnut in yard if anyone is interested. I'm planning to mill it but would be happy to send some to a good home. It was a lot darker when we first cut it. Cheers Kav 07703192775

Any advice on small forestry trailers?

Have a look at Kilworth trailers/tractors too. -
