Mick, I presume that is your new Multione? Do they call that attachment the log grab or grapple? 

Yes it is the new one and I believe it’s a grapple, though opinions vary.

Nice one! Okay ta. Another attachment I need to put on the list for when we do eventually buy one.

It’s a knockabout, meaning not rotating hydraulics, and it need replacing tbh, bit bent up!

Multione now offer a rotating grapple which I will order once the bank account recovers a bit if you know what I mean!

Thanks Mick. will look it up online. I know what you mean about the old bank account. Money does seem to move out fast when it wants to.

Hi Harvey thanks for that yes I have designed gardens for many years all by hand on drawing broad which I brought form a retired draftsman 30 years ago...I don’t do many designs now as they are very time consuming so just do a A4 design not to scale but gives the client a 95% good idea of what it will look like.

i do about 2/3 garden projects a year now as aposed to 10/12 when I first started as I do a lot more tree work now probably 80% of my work now are trees.

i will never give up the landscaping as I love to be creative which is something you don’t really get with tree work unless you are a carver and or make things out of timber and or wood.

No problem silkster we will and I’ll sort something out that can tast your new SRT skills...am only small scale and stay within my capabilities and leave the very big stuff to the guys who have teams...i’am always busy and love doing the domestic stuff and steer clear of company work...love having a chat with the old lady at the end of the road over a cup of tea type jobs.
