  • Bit of timber clearance

    Had the grab out this week on hire to http://premiertreesurgeons.com/ doing some heavy timber clearance for the local authority .. I extracted a few tonnes of hardwood or so with the digger and drag trailer. There was another 200 tonnes left in the wood, which the local authority seemed quite happy to just stack, and leave to rot ..

    The guys at Premier will tackle a wide variety of work .. and this was a fair sized job job ... some of these trees had meter diameter bases, so were well established specimens .. reasons for clearance was damaged or diseased timber

            The fingers are high tensile, and re-inforced so they can take a small bend and spring back no problem .. not something you would really appreciate was important until you start to use it ... One day I will replace the four way pick up for a rotary head .. right now I'm saving for a tilting ditcher ... but hey .. that thing picks up tonne bits of trunk and chucks em about no bother
