Estate Management - Mechanised

We recently picked out four near-mature fruit trees to start our orchard (thank you Allan!). But the last owner of the property had planted some decorative trees just where we wanted to put the fruit trees - in one of the best-drained and most fertile parts of our land. So sadly those trees had to go.

Luckily J had a bright idea - to use the Hi-Lux and the tow-rope to remove three small trees in just half an hour.



And then we cleared away the corpses using our giant diesel-powered wheel barrow. The trees are now drying in the shed in the hope that we can use some of the wood for our wood-burner once it's installed.
