Cheers Jon, felt a bit brutal for the first day back although i was owed 15 days holiday and ended up having 9 days of it. Hope you and your wife had a nice Crimbo and new year.
-

A few off the gopro today. I had to extract some fallen oak stems, nice and easy in and out job.

The DMM one is mega I have it but I am going to buy the diamond black one after Christmas

Awesome, I've always wondered why normal chippers don't have conveyors. I always thought it would reduce the risk of someone trying to knock that small chog in.
-
That first one is a beauty.

Hahah wing commander bob the platform operator. Absolutely top bloke he's been doing trees with his platforms for over 40 years.

Hell yes!!

So the final day on it.
-
Because it was the one that ended up on the truck. A simple as that really.
-
Timescale and availability of a crane sadly.
-
So after 2 1/2 months of disputes over access someone finally cracked and we shot in to start finishing it off.
-
Not all of it but about 50t with it.
-
Yeah we secured a much bigger yard just down the road so it's not needed anymore.
-
Final day of closing down one of our transfer stations. Thankfully the landlord wanted the chip levelled out to improve the soil quality. I think all in there was about 130 ton put into the site.
-
Cheers, everyone's stress levels were pretty high today.
-
A real pain in the rear job today, thankfully we managed to get her done in one day. we ran the main pulley from the rear then 2-3 others. Probably 65% over the house.

SRT base anchors and rescue anchors
Ian Flatters replied to Adam Bourne's topic in SRT (Single Rope Technique)
Yet it works really well guys. In the event of an emergency, you run to the truck, break the emergency glass on the emergency secateurs box, race back, cut the sapling, and the stump slowly lifts lowering your climber to safety. -

Fixed it for you. -
Yeah, I think you'd of got to the height of a ladder then got the 395xp up to reduce the top hahahah (for those who don't realise. This is a joke)
-
Of course I didn't Adam. I had to manage the traffic control sadly. Cheers Adam, this was the one you would of done. David, no reason other than aesthetics and reducing some of the lower branches being impacted by the bus. We spent a lot of time on it 4hrs climb time for about 4 wheelbarrows worth of chip.

So today we were doing another beech reduction. Very minimal again, mainly to reduce the whippy bits and keep its size the same.
