So we have this massive cleanup effort beginning tomorrow in the wake of a 300 acre selective cut that was conducted this winter. We hired in a big time commercial outfit to get the timber (almost all Jack Pine) out. Left behind is a mass of small trees and brush, as would be expected. The company was supposed to use their forwarders to collect the debris. Suffice it to say they did a poor job, often made no effort at all. So it has fallen to me and my crew to facilitate the cleanup. We're going to use our excavator with a clam for the big stuff, and I'm hoping to try and "yard" the smaller tree-length stuff out to the service roads using our side-by-side ATV, an Antal rigging ring, and 150 feet of true blue, where it well then be fed into our chipper, blasted into a dump truck, and hauled away.
This is going to be an epic effort, and will likely take a few months to complete. If this concept of yarding the brush/tree-length debris out to the chipper works, I'll post some pictures. Should be a good test for the rigging rings anyways. Wish me luck.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Good luck!!!

 

[Husabud]

Ugh your poor chipper.

 

[vharrison]

Al, so sorry to hear the news.

 

[Tucker943]

Get rid of those rings and use a block for that type of work.
