Remember when we winched the loaded landy up the hill? Those chocks were sunk about 8 inches into the ground.The RB still pulled it up though.

That was a rather heavy load, 130 full of chip and chipper up a 30degree wet hillside nd she still pulled no problem 👍

Carrying out some reactive works for highways today.

 

This one was a articulated lorry that went off the road. Snapped 3 willows at the base and two completely out of the ground plus 2 hawthorns.

 

If you look near the driver side mirror you can see where they craned out the trailer (3 wheel grooves.)

 

We replaced the destroyed ones and coppiced anything remained but heavily damaged.

Might get some targets printed up nd start pinning them to trees in that case 😉

Was out today planting an Aesculus indica with Arb legend Henry Girling. We had to dig/stump grind out an old Horse chestnut stump whose roots had interwoven with the surrounding granite cobbles and managed to tip the stump grinder.lol. Overall a very enjoyable morning listening to Henry tell a story or two.

Yeah pretty often to be fair. Costs me £4 a board if I get enough made. I can't find a more cost effective way to advertise on a main road.

 

We do however get the odd one smashed up by whoever.

Same designs as the rayco 1625, I lost count of the times mine went over.

Main thing is turn it off asap and once it's righted give it a few minutes for the oil to settle.

Sure you knew that anyway.
