Ha, mate the ice problem is one that we have not encountered here
, that would be trickey alright.
Interested to hear more about the "sledge" system with the 120T Chestnut since we are thinking of doing the same with a heavy tree....but have forseen many problems.
Did you use a bulldozer to pull the "sledge" ? The plate under the rootball how many sections, or just one? How far do you go with the drag?
Have the feeling in the end we will stick to the method we have used before but I kno this "sledge" technique does have its use.
