I am having a day off today, after a two week job harvesting ash trees with dieback and as usual they are on a steep bank and oversized for the machines. After not having cut timber since last September I have been sleeping well on a night š
What made things even more interesting, was the fact that this is probably the worst managed stand of timber I have ever worked in. Many of the trees had poor form and were weighted heavily down hill and then there was this - one of several doubles that had not been thinned out. Each leg about 20 inches and over 70ft tall - just plain nasty.
At the end of the day I got paid very well & I donāt have to run the rigging in and amongst the thorn trees to extract the timber ! š
edit - got the saw sooo stuck it took a winch and two other saws to cut it outā¦ š
