Trees you've cut

Some big girls

Topped two spruce trees and a ceder, then topped and felled a silver fir.
These were remaining trees from a storm damage job I did last month.










The bar on this husqvarna is sh1te. The tip is nearly worn out. There's big u shaped indentations just before the sprocket and I can hear the bearings in the sprocket itself. This bar was new in September.

I like the tsumura light bars. They hold up really well.

Well we had another massive storm last week, the biggest in 60 years.
There's entire forests flattened all over the place.
A lot of people all over the country are still without power and water a week later and with no sign of it to change for another week.
Needless to say we have a lot of storm work ahead of us.

Not much standing commercial timber left in the country, thousands of hectars levelled.







This big spruce fell out across a big gully caused by a landslide and had to be winched clear.






This spruce (there are trillions of spruce in Ireland now) was partially uprooted. I bore cut it and released with a trigger so the tree didn't fully uproot when it started to fall.






A big Leylandii fell into this sycamore. Most of our climbing lately has been done to free up hangers.







This has been a very common sight on every road in Ireland this week. I could not move more than half a mile in either direction from my house last Friday morning.

A friend of mine got to fell this big leylandi with the line clearance company he works for. Probably the biggest tree that company has ever cut, mostly they just trim back twigs and bushes with the polesaw.






More climbing to cut out broken limbs.











A 4 foot windblown poplar in someone's garden. It's only 45 years old.

What kind of boots u have?

 

[davidwyby]

@TheDarkLordChinChin I have a cousin in Cork

 

[TheDarkLordChinChin]

What kind of boots u have?

Abortec scaffel light. I *f-wording hate them. They're totally rigid, there's no flex in the sole at all. They're also extremely slippy and have no grip on any surface whatsoever.
They are extremely hardwearing though, I've had them for over a year and they're still fully intact and waterproof.

I'm in roscommon.

Cut some crazy windblown ceder trees today.
Funnily enough this was originally one tree that blew down in storm Debby in the 1960's and then re-sprouted while lying on the ground.





There was a lot of pressure in these stems.

 

[TheDarkLordChinChin]

One of these ceders was left half blown over.
Sizwill really works.

I love my 201t, I climbed and limbed up this sugar pine 20-30' up to miss some power lines, limbed it and bucked it after the excavator knocked it over, and didn't have to refuel once.

 

[Wonkydonkey]

I'll add this one here

A beech log rotting away in the forest.
What a shame.
