Nearly finished a woodland job within a nature reserve . Removal of a lot of ash with dieback, retaining some for habitat - both as whole trees and as monoliths. The replanting crew arrive Monday so we are really pushing it.
We get diesel bug quite often these days. We have to treat every delivery with an additive, or we would be in trouble within weeks. A couple of inline fuel filters in the glove box can be a lifesaver
In between the usual day to day stuff we have been bringing some machines in to deal with some of the more off the wall tasks - cost is high, but it solves some complex challenges and is so much safer and more productive. Sometimes it just feels like cheating !
Nasty- I was told about it by a paramedic after I discovered I had a wasp sting allergy. Did not believe it until I hung one of each on the line - the yellow one attracted more wasps and bees for sure. Yellow jackets may not be so discerning and probably just horrible bastids whatever you wear.
Nothing to do with your saw -try a shorter bar on such hard timber. It will make sharpening easier and quicker too.
I would be using stem-chisel for such crappy timber
Another week of storm damage completed - the last two weeks since a big storm rolled through has been intense. No great pictures, just a couple of the last two days fun and games before we started.
A machine was a welcome site when the trees are this nasty. The leaning tree was super challenging- one of the most difficult I have encountered in years. We had to do a lot of rigging to keep it standing whilst dismantling it.
You got lucky there dude - felling a codom with both leaders in the same direction is asking for trouble. Seen leads peel off in random directions as they have been effectively been cut loose.
