I would have definitely hired a loader though, for sure.
-
Each to their own, he's a decent bloke with a beginner set up, only been going a year or two. I'm sure the bigger toys will arrive but until then you piss with the cock you have. Plus I got 3 days work out of it rather than 1

No mate, his groundy is a better man than you. I'd have walked off I had to chip that! For me it meant that a tree the should have been rigged out and felled in a day took almost two and a half days for 3. I was waiting an awful long time between each rig.

How thoughtful of you. Tbf I don't think I've carried out more than 5 logs throughout the job 🤣
-
Lots of lovely access for a skid steer or loader too 😁
-
Big ash to take down, chipped through a gravity fed chipper and handball out the garden the old fashioned way. 🤣

Big CC Chainsaws a thing of the past or will new models come out soon?

Look who's back! -
Perfect. Probably over twice the price of a 230, but they're pretty much a chipper for life, and save so much work when you come from a tw150 background.

What capacity is the schliesing Mick?
-
🤣🤣 that's him told!
-
Not the best clip but this was a brutal bar fight from the first episode.
-
Fair enough if you've got the kit to keep up with it. You'd struggle with a transit and timber wolf!
-
Looks like there's plenty of space to stack. Was it not worth contracting out the chipping for the potential return on the biomass too?
-
They're no better 🤣
-
Yeah he was funny in a really menacing way.

Same series as yours Steve but with a bit of fanny.

One of the Never Back Down films

Got the right idea there. Wouldn't get it into 75% of the gardens I work in though!
-
Or coming down and helping shift logs.
-
Decent rope, shame you'll probably die using it
-
I'd find a couple of local firms and see if you can do a few days graft on the ground before you part with your hard earned. Even with all your tickets you'll be not much use to anyone as a climber initially so will mainly be doing ground work. Big shift in money from IT to working as a groundy, you'll want to know if its definitely for you. Most firms won't care about tickets if you're dragging brash and feeding a chipper to start off with. Just buy yourself a lid and some sensible boots.

Current zz was bought in Jan and its slipping quite badly now

I've got Atrax but it's burning through my zigzag in record time. Thought it would be too skinny for the bdb. Xstatic is decent with it
-
How are you finding the BDB on Atrax mate?
