Here you go !!
they are very useful for the trees we got around here, but you guys have alot BIG stuff over there ,,,,

hey, no one ever said foam was a stupid idea. having a guy standing in the drop zone catching lumps with the foam is!

 

[MasterBlaster]

I'll say it, the foam idea is stupid. Packing it around would be a PITA, and foam ain't firm enough, IMO.

 

[SteveBullman]

u can get firm foam, i had a foam crash mat for bouldering.
that being said, you wouldnt wanna be dropping logs on that stuff the price it is!

 

[MasterBlaster]

That's what I'm talking about. It's not practical.

Plywood works better, helps distribute the load to prevent damage to concrete or whatever underneath. But you can pretty much count on buying more plywood every couple times you use it, the plywood gets trashed. On the other hand a couple $16 sheets of plywood are a lot cheaper than pouring a new slab of concrete.

 

[SteveBullman]

i never put anything down on concrete or other surfaces. i'll get the groundy to stack up a small area of brash ready for the wood. only time i use plywood sheets is on the occassional asbestos roof.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I almost always try to have a brush bed to drop chunks on.

Tires are a PIA a mattress would be more of a PIA butt it would work in the right scenario, I have hauled 40 yard Brashpiles(britspeak) in with clammy to flop big mamas on, ya still pray a poker don't take out the cement/asphalt

 

[pete mctree]

[Thor's Hammer]

[log-ologist]

Foaming Heck

 

[MasterBlaster]

Damn Derek! Do you actually pack all that foam and mattress shit around with you?

 

[sotc]

[Bodean]

Drum for Clean-up? If so I bet a rubbermaid would be lighter and sportier.

 

[Awsomeclimber]

and whats in the drum? there ya happy

Ha, YES!!!

I use then to cover taps that are beneath the tree, angel iron with a decent hole in them is welded to the bottom then drive a steel peg in it to hold it.

Also used to protect small plants in the drop zone.. That rack in the middel of the truck sits on top of them when needed, BTW the drums are STEEL and weigh about 40Kgs..

Can also be used to cover pommie climbers


Hay Boss, Just trying to keep up with the experts in Brisbane!
Why, didn't you learn anything???

 

[Thor's Hammer]

Hows your pommy climber getting along? adjusted to the heat yet?

 

[pete mctree]

[Thor's Hammer]

[log-ologist]

[sotc]

[tntree]

Thats the machine that made me hate stumps

 

[MasterBlaster]

I'm glad to say I've never operated one of those bastards.

 

[tntree]
