Getting there!

This is the photo that failed to load previously.



Nice cool weather for this type of work, but I believe I'm going to get rained out for the next couple of days.

Who just used the "R" word?

Nice Joel. With the other pics I see the scope of your work. You have your hands full. At least the Kubota will help things along.

 

[candoarms]

Husabud,

I would never have accepted this job, if not for the Kubota and the new dump truck. It's a HUGE job. I've never seen anything like this. I was a bit worried that maybe my little Kubota wouldn't have enough reach to work with the new dump truck. I'm happy that I was wrong about that. The forks on the bucket work great for loading the dump. I crush the load down, then slide the forks out. Once in a while I'll get a branch that doesn't want to stay put, but the saw quickly tames those.

Provided the weather holds out for me, I should be done with this project in two or three days.

You would really like the one I looked at yesterday Joel... 450' X 300' next to a creek.. Vines throough everything and in the trees... Mine tailings ... yeah.. real cake walk... Well burn it all after we clear it though if they take the bid. Wish I had a grapple already or brush grapple/bucket for the mini. It would make the job hella easier. All hand cut though.. leaving the root systems for erosion control. Since it boarders a creek, we are limited to how we can disturb the ground. You maintain any new growth with a brush cutter twice a year to starve the roots to death or put goats on it.

Every once in a while you have to whip those groundies to keep em on their toes.......

 

[woodworkingboy]

Ouch! What's that about?

 

[cory]

That would be cool if it leaves a little permanent mark, chicks dig scars.

I'm guessing an errantly running bull rope.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I've seen that before - ouch!

 

[bonner1040]

Nice stuff everyone!

 

[PCTREE]

Yup that resulted from a 200' 5/8 bull line set at 95' with big wood running into the drop zone...... Whap...... Ouch

 

[pantheraba]

That close of a rope run is why I try not to use any non-locking biners on my gear. A rope brushing by could snap into a biner (has)...suddenly you are part of the rigging.

Rope burn is not good...being part of the rigging could be very bad.

 

[PCTREE]

This is how you get whipped...

This sumamabitch slid down hill on me and came to a halt here. Didn't even crack the steps. I was tongue tied. I didn't do anything absurd, really. It was the most bizarre thing Ive seen since the last election.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I was waiting for the rope burn!

 

[Jack]

OUCH!!! Looks like a human Port-A-Wrap. Is that Robbie?

Looks like there could have been more tension on the line after the face as well... Running on the GRCS no?

Aspens removal.
Some small, some big ones. A good day.

 

[canadiantreeman]

Even though thats half a world away, it reminds me of the prairies...same trees!! Nice work everyone.

 

[Koala]

Not that far actually...maybe just half a state away.....

 

[canadiantreeman]

For the next 24 hours I will attempt to decode your last message. And I will reply tomorrow...between this and the Adrian's mermaids my brain has had a computer overload, gnite all!

Yep just like aspen here in Manitoba.

 

[Merle Nelson]

Was that bluish (on my screen) looking rope through the block there and pre-tensioned just to keep the tree from be able to veer toward the structure? Nice!!!

 

[brendonv]

Two easy ones.
