A - One Trees' at work

JayD · 21st August 2007, 02:46 PM

True, True, I cant remember exzactly why we did use it

More than likely our over saws were in for a service..but I tell you it sure did slice and dice that bad boy real quick, John usually uses our 365 for the thicker palms on the way down,when we can't drop them on the full...horses for corses..1 less chit stick

Hi Folks,
I thought you might like to see how the boys moved logs around in the olden days??. I found this very interesting,all the head stalls are made from Brush Box and the bullocky driver knows all his team by name...so here are a couple pictures for you all to enjoy.
All The Best

JayD, you've probably seen these but some others might have missed them really great b/w photos of old time logging in the US in the forestry and logging forum over at AS

Hey hold up!

I think I saw MB with his tautline hitch in there.

mdvaden · 29th August 2007, 09:42 AM

I like that sunset photo.

That one might look good cropped too.

Well about 3 weeks ago we removed this Brush box. The owner was installing a pool and it was in the way.

Was a beaut' of a job cause at the end his mate wanted the firewood

.

The tree - me setting my TIP.

Hand held section, the whole tree was done in hand held's and scarfs. Had just enough room to place and drop it.

The next hand held

Going up - Featuring the Martin hitch.

Yeah good, did ya get the stupid cocos palm there to?

JohN Dee · 7th September 2007, 12:46 AM

Nah we didn't... He said he liked the palm tree and didn't mind the berries. Wait til his new pool is in, that'll change quick smart

He was a copper too.

Ekka · 7th September 2007, 01:46 AM

Coppers are great to work for I found. Good payers. Like things done right and give decent people the work.

JohN Dee · 7th September 2007, 02:04 AM

Indeed. One of the coppers I worked for last year.. We were the 2nd quote there. They told the first guy to piss off, because he was there trying to get unreceipted cash outta them lmao.

Speaking of coppers, I got a call the other day from some guy pretending to be from some sponsor group for the police... Anyways to cut a long story short, I asked him for his badge number and he said stuff ya then and hung up! Ha! Dam con artists.

Ekka · 7th September 2007, 03:34 AM

I tell'm to ring John Howard, he's got $18billion surplus!

JohN Dee · 5th October 2007, 04:49 AM

This was a Tallow Wood that we removed for one of our clients... It was cracking and pushing over his/councils reatiner wall that was 4 metres high(Basicallly holding his whole backyard in place)

We whacked to cocos palms there aswell. Oh yeah I also got bitten by a huntsmen on this job too

.

There the tree is, a shed under neath, and two fences within a metre. Note the lateral branches.

We cradled these boys out, probably 2 metres above the shed, were the lowest ones.

Limb Walking up this 80*

Limb Crawling for the Tip Tie.

Gooooooonskeeeeeeees.

Ekka · 5th October 2007, 05:01 AM

I see they get them long branches down there too.

At least they're not slippery powder white limbs like other gums, you can shuffle out there OK.

Bad spot to work, would have been a real bugger on the ground dealing with them long limbs in that gap.

Plenty of slewing and a GRCS would have been handy to winch them up!

JohN Dee · 15th December 2007, 01:12 AM

Jeez gotta dust off this ol' girl and get her live again.

I tell ya what after working on those Cypresses at Mt Wilson every tree including this one seems so tiny to me now...

Took down this gum tree on thursday, all up it took about 6-7 hours to dismantle. Got a hell of a bloody kick back when the nose of the bar split on the 200, lucky it kicked back into the wood I was cutting. So we rushed down and bought a new one set her up and away she went beautifully.

Canopy Shot.

This gum was that snappy that when I dumped this limb I'm out on that it smashed itself into 4 separate pieces.

Few more limbs down.

Descent for lunch

More clearence limbwalk.

Chunkin' it down.

The height is alot more then what it seems in this pic.

Taking off a few more chunks with the 66 before we felled it.

Ekka · 15th December 2007, 02:06 AM

Psssst.

I got a block driver sitting here.

It's looking for a work out.
