About 12 years ago was doing some roadside hedgelaying and was felling out a clump of ash trees, one was leaning towards the road, farmer said would help with it but as usual when time came he'd vanished, so roped it to the landy, put felling cut in back cut and started to pull with landy, rope snapped and the tree whipped back snapped off and went straight across road I was out the landy like linford christy started the saw on the run jumped the ditch sawed tree up and got it off the road in about 60 seconds flat :001_cool:

Years ago I was driving a Dozer in the Forest,gingerly I tracked across a slope sitting on the arm rest becase of the angle the machine was on.

 

"Don´t ++++ around yelled the foreman,it´ll take twice the angle"

 

So I sat down,did the seat belt up just before I rolled 25 tons of Dozer three times.
