Winching & Skidding

[liamjordan]

Two days a week (Mon and Tues) i work with my cousin for college work experience, we were winching out some trees, mainly ash, from a wood on the side of a hill and clearing up some windblown birch trees.

yeahh its been nice here for ages!!! started raining these past couple of days though, but its all good cus we have had some hard core put down in our yard so its nice and dry to work in hahaa yeah the light board, most of the lights work on it to ooo nice, would be great if you could get some pics of it

[Stephen Blair]

hopefully the arse isnt rotted out it but i wouldnt think so, i hope the pto is still on it because it is a good one with the clutch on it

nice wee david brown. what model is it?

[liamjordan]

yeahh it is its a 1212

[david]

it dont look very big for a 1212 altho its probibly the older style cab that makes it look smaller. my brother has a 1212 (i think) but its the one with the cab above the gearbox rather than sitting on it. i like the bull bar on the front, we have a 990 with a loader its all bashed in at the nose altho my 996 is nice and straight

Dont know what it is but whenever i see any of your pics, i always get a feeling that you are learning in a way that very few nowadays have chance to.

 

It always seems that you are working in traditional, but hard working happy environment. You are a very lucky fella. Keep the pics and stories of your work coming:thumbup1:

Yeahh i will do, dont you worry about that
