A Swedish Felling jack. Ratcheted with a winder and used for felling, lifting or support. Surprisingly handy when they are needed. https://www.hyresmaskiner.com/produkt/stalpen/

The old lady we were working for had cut and cleared 3 of the other fallen trees and stacked the brash for us to chip.

Back at it after the summer break. I have Haakon out working with me last week and this, before he goes back to study: Mostly routine stuff but this one was a bit more interesting. A pretty big storm came through 16 July and uprooted quite a few trees in my area: Turned up today to a farm...

A few pictures of the mutt from my house. Had a few nice hikes this summer and been away staying at cabins etc.

Occasionally we do. That job we didn’t. Just a grass rake and then a big blower. We were there an hour, fell, cut firewood and clean up.

Yesterdays job was a bit of a slog in the heat and fighting sap. Large pine to remove and then another over solar panels and decking. Rigged and free falled the larger tree and then used that as a rigging point to swing everythin away from house. No before picture as to busy. All the logs on...
