that is the best idea i have EVER seen for this job, i am gutted i have never even come close to having a brain wave like that.:blushing:

 

There was a guy I used to work with at the council who stood on the roof of the van to cut branches :001_huh::laugh1:

 

 

I also heard about the verge cutting team, the tractor with flail arm would get most stuff but signs etc need doen by hand. So they had one guy stood/sat on the back of the transit tipper with a strimmer whilst the other guy drove it, slowing down at every sign :laugh1:

yes no need for chapter 8

 

'mobile moving works', as long as you dont stop for more than 10 minutes in any location(ie, move a few vecheical lengths) a blue arrow and flashing lights is ok:thumbup:

Used to do this about 22 - 23 years ago around Gloucestershire. We had a chipper on the top deck and used to chip down through a hatch into the chip box within the lower deck. The bus is still parked up in the depot as far as I know, but who knows how long ago it was last road legal!

Another alternative is a scissor lift trailer behind a tractor, ive used one on private jobs. drive under raise to required height. Keep trimmings on board and tip when full. No tax psv license insurance etc. etc. If brave and require an extra metre tip a little but doubt that would go well with hse in public!

Mate of mine cut through a powerline whilst working on one of these.

 

Luckily he was unharmed. Apparently he was a poor conductor.

 

Boom boom!

 

 

I hate you Butler :thumbup:
