smithy Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Last ones,it will shear up to 300mm allow if hard like dead elm might only cut 250mm cleanly,by giving it a bit of a wiggle while cutting it will go through the big bits but not cleanly VID_20240125_091233208.mp4 VID_20240125_092017003.mp4 VID_20240125_092046738.mp4 VID_20240125_092106720.mp4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmd Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Bet it made short work of it smithy bit easier than doing it all with chainsaw 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 11 hours ago, jmd said: Bet it made short work of it smithy bit easier than doing it all with chainsaw It certainly did , half of it was hanging the wrong way so would have needed a rope put on to give a tug which all takes time . Another thing was it was all the wrong side of ditch ,360 can grab and swing it over and place it down where i can go though picking out the big bits for firewood and then just push rest up into a heap and burn which i would have to do even if i had done it all by hand . It had to be cut before end of February so short timescale by hand but can clean up at any time , whenever i have a few hrs i can nip down and do a bit , but not this weekend 😉 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 they were using something similar down here smithy ,when doing a big roadwork's job, but it had a built in chainsaw as well, they fitted it to the end of a merlo roto, so cut the limbs up high and just bought it down, so no climbing, lot quicker, road was closed for 2 hours max , rather than all night 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
