Hi ya'll, long time no sea, much to do and a big customer that refuses to pay a big load of money. Will try again to make some time for our society. Here some pictures of what we do with our trunks and branches. We collect them on several places. For the chipped branches we get about 4 AUSD. For trunks we get 30 AUSD, length may vary from 300 up till 550cm. Pictures with the forwarder are taken at a farm that wanted to get rid of some shrubbery and trees that came down with a storm 3 yrs ago. The elm came down for construction. For Sweden this was a big tree, made the newspapers again. Also these branches are collected until we get about 600m3 together. Last picture is what I am about, precisionfelling. An oak came down without damaging the Rhododendron, another bush at the left and the lamppost is also still standing strong. The tree was not that healthy.

In that last picture what's that cable/rope all about? Seems a little low for pulling on either as a side rope or felling rope.

Houthakker · 16th May 2008, 02:09 PM

Cable was attached to a towtruck, pulls 30T on a singel wire! Tree was as healthy as it could be. By the way how do You sharpen your chainsaw? Like this guy ?? Going to bed now, time is 23:12 overhere, tomorrow early riser again.

Mmmm tasty spuds, reminds me of the Butter Steamed spuds concoction (insert mouth drooling emote here) I've come up with and perfected while living away from home.

Hey you guys working on the honour system? That is kewl

, around here those spuds would probably be lobbed straight back at the house and stolen...
