The loss of Ash in west Wales is going to have a major impact on countryside, we have about 40% Ash coverage here.
Interestingly we are starting to gain Elm again in the woods and hedgerows, but it is now the right age to host the beetle which carries the disease.
This site is going to be replanted with 80% Cherry and Oak, and 20% sorbus and Birch.

I’m bias, but the log bullet is a very good machine.

The F4 looks interesting, Productive?

Unstable and easy to turn over, not very good for towing any weight on a trailer unless it is dry and flat.

Makes a pleasant change from willow biomass, and no brambles.

The comms have made this soooooo much safer, being able to talk as you are working stops all the second guessing, particularly as both are out of site of each other.

The butt kicking up is a result of the tree rolling over the top of the slope. On the bigger trees there is 20 plus metres above the top of the slope, so no matter what felling cut you use the butt is going to kick out. Using the winch to hold the tree, allowing enough time for the feller to get out of the way seems to be the safest method.

The ones to the left are going to be much trickier. They are on a near vertical slope, and they have to be felled up it which means the butt kicks up and out quite spectacularly.
The feller and winch monkey are using senna communications, which allows the feller enough time to get out of the way, before the tree goes over.
