Beech tree take down – when you put your man cave under a tree that is past its best…
Just outside Blandford in Dorset, the building crushed was a converted shepherd’s hut. The tree was a very large beech which had looked unhealthy last year.
The poor access due to the weather conditions presented us with certain challenges. Although we had a lot of large timber to move, this was made easier with the timber crane, aka the Valtra tractor with the crane/grab on the roof. The timber stayed locally for firewood. All in a day’s work…
Here’s a link to the info about the Valtra.

500m rolls of Tornado HT8/80/15 stock netting near Marlborough
A few minor running repairs to our Unimog on a Saturday
Just routine works, but the cab needed to be jacked up for access.
This is our Unimog with a woodchipper on the back with a 1.5-ton capacity. So, who can remember the origin of this odd name?
“The Unimog is a range of multi-purpose auto four-wheel drive medium trucks produced by Mercedes-Benz, The word is an acronym for the German “UNIversal-MOtor-Gerät”, Gerät being the German word for a device (also in the sense of machine, instrument, gear, apparatus)”. There, you needed to know that!

Our new 25.6m Cherry Picker (MEWP)
Our new 25.6m Articulated Truck Mounted Platform/4×4 MAN truck has arrived and is available for hire should you need some extra height.
It has a huge outreach of some 12.5m and full details may be found on our website shortly.
Our shorter 14m cherry picker (the yellow one) is better for work in confined spaces where the lorry base of this new one would be too big.
Both are available for hire.

A few random pictures of the past couple of weeks
New Evo Compact
We picked up our new Evo Compact this morning to help the busy fencing teams and set it straight to work… collected, unloaded and knocking posts in under 2 hours!
This is a smaller, more compact machine which allows us to transport it between sites behind a 4×4. A miniature version of our Protech Evo 2.
