I used to use a Spearhead long reach flail for the guy i worked for before going self employed, i once managed to get a whole chainlink fence (that was rolled up and grown over) wrapped around the drum!!! was a total nightmare, bolt croppers and wire cutters would do nothin as it was so tight...but the gas axe worked a treat!:wave:

was working for a LA a few years back and one roadside stump was due to be ground/grubbed out. Instead of goinf back to the yard and picking up a grinder a quick phone call (not me might I add!) was made and a 17 tonner plus hi-ab from another gang turned up as they were working nearby. The stump and area hadn't been surveyed and along with about 5 paving slabs a load of utilities popped up, BT, NTL, Electric etc. Bet the charge hand wished he had gone back to the yard...

Done an elctric cable, luckily just to an outhouse, hit a gas pipe into a house and had a few car wheels wrapped aroud the drum of a mulcher head on a skidsteer.

My mate however whilst working at night driving an excavator mounted mulcher hit the ground and blasted railway balast accross an entire street putting out just about every window and totalling around £25k in damage. ouch.

One of my pals nearly took his mate out whilst using a little david stump grinder with piece of shrapnel that came flying out the side of the engine. I recall a loud bang at the time lol:fisheye:
