My Grandfather used to talk about AEC oil engines so I wanted to know what one sounded like; found this link...

Nice vid of James and his machine there

John I love those pics, in particular the 1st of each group. I think they'd make cracking Xmas cards, even without your robin in them! Better than those blurry old pics the other day

[BrendonV]

Amazing photos.

[Taupotreeman]

Choice photos. Love the old matador. Wanted one of those since I saw one that an old fella had that I did some work for.

How much pulling did they need John? I've got 2 Lombardys to fell this week and think they will both go with the Tirfor on them.

 

Or it could be a very expensive week....

Not a lot to be honest mate, the matador was late getting to the job as the brakes froze up so we pulled one over with the Ranger pick-up.

 

As you know poplars are funny old things when you pull them over (amplified in the summer when in leaf). You put a gob in one direction and they decide to follow a totally different one!

 

I played safe on this job and got the Matador in as there were some VERY nice houses behind them.
