Its wind failure,any cypress stump is easy to dig out..John- Trevor had to cut that head out but we had a large rope tied to a loader pulling as well.

What kind of cut did he use? Step/snap cut? Or did he do a topside scarf?

newguy18 · 17th May 2008, 01:50 AM

Aren't pines worth anything over in oz?over here 9 times outta 10 if you can drop the whole tree, a timber buyer will come a buy the tree from you.they really want our black cherries as well.Friend sold 2 8' sections of black cherry for 300 bucks.I'm gonna fell 9 of them for the farrier either tommorow or next weeks some time.Average of 60-90' tall and about 20" in diameter.

Drouin Tree Service · 17th May 2008, 03:20 AM

$5 a tonne for good pine logs!!!

Houthakker · 17th May 2008, 07:25 AM

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.

Eric Frei · 17th May 2008, 08:59 AM

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 · 17th May 2008, 09:09 AM

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.

Eric Frei · 17th May 2008, 09:30 AM

LOL

We're downunder so it's the other way around most times.

Drouin Tree Service · 31st May 2008, 10:58 PM

One of my mates who is a tree climber but working over in Indonesia at his trade welding just sent me these pics of a python,Said it had a wild boar in it!!

TrevMcRev · 31st May 2008, 11:00 PM

Far out! it'd probably fit a small person in it no worries.

Drouin Tree Service · 31st May 2008, 11:07 PM

Hows the head on it,He said they have caught 3 of them this week!!! NO thanks i hate snakes!

Ace Master · 31st May 2008, 11:52 PM

Drouin Tree Service · 13th July 2008, 08:57 PM
