Brits talkin about Brit stuff

i only moved here 7 years ago

We felled every one of them into the center of the avenue with the help of a skidder,A timber merchant had all the timber so the only clean up we had was to chip & get the stumps ground out.
The council could not wait for us to finnish so they JCB all the brash in to piles so they could replant,The timber contractor did us a favor & moved all the brash to the lefthand side of the school(around back)where we got on with chipping it.
Took ages & Cleveland CC had loads of chip to use.

Iain,You say no replacement planting has been carried out which is strange as i know that we planted Ash,Beech & Oaks back in 1994.

When we carried out the works all we could do was what was written on the job spec as all the trees had been surveyed & number discs attached.

 

[Ross Turner]

Just remembered about the cavities some had concrete in & others had mesh & drainage pipe inserted,That & the old braces played havoc with the chains.
Got some nice Burrs off them.

i appolgise, dont doubt what you say i take it the planting was in the woodland areas as opposed to the more open spaces in saying that the little darlin's around there would think nothing of destroying your work
mmm concreted trees one imparticular snapped out in the feb storms
i know what you mean its very frustrating when the limit of the spec stops work that jumps out and screams to be done , however its the guys with a hold on the purse strings that seem to shout the loudest imo, the best you can do is outline any concerns in writing to cover your back.

 

[Ross Turner]

It didn`t bother me as i was freelance to the contractor who had the contract,but i belive he did mention it at the time.
Yes the planting was in the woodland areas.

Hi All,

Am trying to find a good manual forestry winch with a good length of cable but having no joy so far! Can anyone suggest a web site or catalouge?

 

[Thor's Hammer]

Hi mate welcome... Try Andrew Holmes forestry machinery for a taijfun winch, very good value. Or JPWilson (any relation?) for an Igland (better but more expensive)

 

[Ross Turner]

Hi Mate,You could also try Corwen Forestry,AT Osborne for other makes.
