cattle- a neighbour once cut up a cow that died, into sections to feed to the farmers dogs, sticky smelly.

 

 

As distasteful and perhaps unbelievable as it may seem, probably not half as rare as the poorly informed might be surprised to realise.

 

Those "so-called" custodians of the countryside have a good deal more to answer for than many might wish to know:

A Silky Big-Boy. Friend had left it among the brash of a big storm blown chestnut in leaf we were clearing. Luckily I hit "down the tooth" so to say - so the chain just glanced off without wrecking the teeth. Only minimal damage...

Can't comment on a chainsaw but you don't want to hit a discarded nappy with a brush cutter. Believe me.

 

 

Haha. I was going to mention that, but it said hit with saw.

I did have an internal giggle when I heard a flurry of profanities and turn around as the 'debris' is settling around an ex gaffer

tried to cut a mossy concrete pipe once, which was stupid enough but then to make sure everyone new i was an idiot i edged up the saw and did it all over again on the same pipe!!! :(

Apart from your jugular? A 230v street light line (live) that was completely buried by Ivy. Hit with saw and hedge trimmer.

Of the lesser items; metal waratahs, buried in the middle of trees along with glass bottles.

I priced a job a while back to fell a large Ash; we didn't get it but I knew the arb that did.

 

When it came to felling the stem, he put the sink in and started with the felling cut; about half way through the cut it all went wrong.

 

Turns out that a scaffold pole had either been used as a tree stake or lent up against the tree and subsequently been swallowed up.

 

In the end he had to pole belt back up the stem and take it down in chunks, avoiding the metal work; suffice to say I was pleased we didn't get that one........
