had an odd one today. Having been told by the customer that it was ok to clear fell a couple of sycamore into a derelict garden, I duly dropped both and started processing them.

I was cross-cutting one of the trunks, when I was struck blow between the shoulder blades, needless to say, with a 357XP at full bore..it made me jump!. I assumed I had been hit by a hanger from a neighbouring tree, but when I looked behind me, there was an extremely irate pensioner telling me 'your trespassing on my land, foxtrot off!'.

In the end he was happy to keep all the log and the brash went on his bonfire pile!. Thankfully neither of us ended up on the business end of the saw :sneaky2:
