Re: Air-spade Funny isn't it Sean.
Frankly the cost of getting one is nothing compared to trucks, chippers, stumpgrinders. In fact they're only just dearer than a big chainsaw.
The difference is you get work for those other bits of gear.
No-one really hires them out, you have to find a company that has one and get them in. If an arb shop hired them out minus a compressor of course there'd perhaps be more call for it.
I'm watching a large council euc die slowly. Now it's foliage is about 50% what it was 2 years ago but no dead wood yet. It's declining alright. You know how you should have taken those pics 2 years ago but didn't etc.
Anyway, that tree if it were decompacted - aerated, drenched with a tea and mulched would be fine. So would so many others. |
