A bit of highways work we started today. The road was closed so we took advantage of it.
-
I just didnt want to let liam moore down. :lol:
-
A few bits from today. 2 dead trees to come out and grind and a limb on the turkey oak had sheared down its limb so we removed that too. Then off for a willow call out and finally finished off those conifers!!!!!! So a quick reminder of what it's started like. And now.
-
I know where Nathan Marshall used to work they had one with a stump grinder on it.
-
Hmm good for thought. I was thinking of a trailer for the timber but can also take extra chippings too. Something like a 12t grain trailer.
-
Bet those hydraulics pack a punch too.
-
I was told by a guy once a machine that stays in the yard isn't earning. I've took it quite literally although the drive through person always seems to be grumpy.
-
I'm going to use a removable lorry curtain side type material for the roof. A trailer will come along if required.
-
Hope so. How do you find it drives loaded with the chipper on the rear?
-
Shouldn't restrict it too much, we made a mock up out of cardboard, reduced the height until it was a happy compromise on both. Chip box will be 1.9m high because the knuckle is high.
-
Nice work and cool skidder.
-
Well I needed to get from the truck to the tree. we had a small conifer to take out near some good graves so took the stem out upright.
-
A quick height reduction to go with the reduce from buildings at a church today. Then we had an hour clearing some of the conifers we've got left.
-
Not 100% sure I've got the data codes off it but cannot find much about it. Was told it was a 10t I know it will lift 1.5 at full extension as we moved a clio with some bits in for a mate. I think it's looking more like 5t close in but I'd be happy if it was a 3t lift as that's 3t I don't need to cut up.
-
Yeah no need to reprint it just yet.
-
Taking a but longer than planned due to the workload. But the backs been stripped off to allow the chip box to be built. Probably going to redo the anti roll bar bushes or buy a new unit. Anyway the only pics I took.

Nice pics Paul and my gosh oscars shot up since I saw seb last. We've had that virus rip through the company. Just feel like I'd done a 10k run when I felt ill. We had to shut down for 2 days as everyone was ill. -
A few from this week.
-
Nice work, is that dog your skid steer?
-
I've seen a couple of levels wearing lines accidentally go in a tw150. Both times they stalled the machine out. Thankfully I've always been paranoid about a climbing line going through.
-
Some goes for planks if we have an order in. Most goes for firewood sadly.
-
2:57 is possibly the smoothest log discard I've seen on a skid steer.

And it only has a post office open Wednesday mornings. Cheers for the comments guys.
