How to remove a fallen tree from a canal?
biggarlogs replied to Simon Rotheram's topic in General chat
i was once offered a job clearing trees from bridges and reservoir outlets,considered using compressed air saw and diving gear.but stopped by red tape ..there is no cs unit for using chainsaw underwater,diving ticket yes but diving with a chainsaw no.draw the conclusion that a big crane was the answer.it all depends on depth of canal and how much tree is underwater.bank constriction if you winch large lumps up bank will it damage clay lining etc.good luck . a barge mounted crane seems the way to go .jake:thumbup: -
what you need is a turf vac.a giant hoover that makes a bale which you can lift with a forrklift. if you have a nearby turf grower go and ask them to vac up all the grass and keep cool.jake:thumbup:

Stainless cable ok for winches?
biggarlogs replied to Timbermcpherson's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
isnt stainless more brittle than high tensile wire?fine on a straight pull but once wound round winch drum it may start breaking stands and become weaker and horrible to handle.jake:thumbdown: -
Best way to remove grass from gravel drive
biggarlogs replied to ArthurBottlesworth's topic in General chat
weedkill then digger and mobile screen .if you want to keep the gravel.sift all the crud out and relay clean gravel.jake -
normally you need to wait for about 6 months before you can use grazon 90 or other selective weedkiller.or else you will check the grass too much.if you go earlier and with a weaker mix you wont kill the weeds, regular mowing will tighter the sward and help maybe not with ground elder .a mpca weekiller is cheaper but less effective.jake

any members have a stump grinder and want to to grind out two lime stumps about 3 foot across,just outside biggar lanarkshire.ml12 6.(scotland) if interested let me know and we can fix a price...just too busy at the moment to go to hire shop and do the job.no need for chip rem0val .and good acess .
-
that job looks good for the ribcage!! cut them and hang on tight.impressive though
-
tractor mounted winch,make a big pile of brash and drag it up in a onner,can get timber up too.might destroy the lawn but its a good time of year for grasseeding!
-
will it survive like that maybe a bit harsh on the old girl?
-
good luck with that one....if it was a proper engine maybe.
