Hi does any one deliver around North Wales, I'm just outside Denbigh. Looking to buy 10 possibly 15 tonne of softwood cord. If anyone has anything please inbox me with what you have. Ideally start of march

Will you be at the wood fest in North Wales this year?

I have a swing lift fitted to a trailer, plugs in to my lady. Can lift 1/2 tonne but I had to reinforce my trailer & add support legs
-
Just what I was after. Thanks for taking the time to respond
-
We have a new lad starting and I've been told if I put L plates on he can tow if I'm in the passenger seat is this correct? He holds B but not B+E.
Thanks in advance

Stunning work, love the dining table.
You have great skills

We asked for a 55tonne crane but because of the wind & reach of the boom they sent us a 100tonne. We payed 800 plus vat & we collected the sleepers for his legs.
Makes sense with the chains, really took it out of me wrapping them around the stems plus it snowed all day & my fingers we're freezing which didn't help.

Thanks paul

Yeah the first 1, took about a 2 tonne piece out of the top but had a little too much tension in the crane. The tree cracked open a lot earlier than I expected and gave me proper disco legs. Found taking the tops out a lot worse than the stem. The stem was fine, had some nice big lifts. One thing that took it out of me was them crane chains, there so heavy lol.
Thanks again for all the tips and support, I have my next crane dismantle 17th April so looking forward to that.
The bottom piece I plan to mill and will be my new coffee table.
-
Just to let you know the job went well today, my biggest piece was 3.5t. Had it down in 3 hrs.
Thanks for all the advice really helped me
Hopefully have some pics to post later in the week

Thanks jonh

Cedar is very heavy on the end of the branches. Make sure your limbs are well balanced. Keep your step cuts as tight as possible. On the big timber don't be scared to use wedges to keep the weight off the saw as you are cutting through.
Also as it's you first, cut a small bit and communicate with the crane driver to get a ideal of weight. And ask him what weights you can lift with the location of the crane.
Hope that somewhat helps.
If you want to see some our work on a crane check out "tom organ arborist" on you tube
Thank you very much, I'll check them out

Thanks in advance

Nice little clip mate. I like your motto " go big, go home " lol
-
For me I wouldn't be without my 560xp then I'd choose 461 & 880
-
Was going to order it with a 25"
-
Great vid buddy, like the clip of the fell
-
Thanks for all the help lads, 461 it is then.
Will order on Monday

I'm looking at buying a new mid sized saw, I've always fancied a 441 but whilst I've been looking I'm getting drawn towards a 461.
I'll be running a 25" bar on the saw.
what would you goo for?
10 - 15t cord wanted
