Behave Mark!

The way you’re going the only crane work you’ll see is when the cut a hole in the roof of the house to crane your enormous bulk out.

 

I wasn’t sure about you at first Mick, but I’ve been on Arbtalk since the early days, and that’s the nicest thing anyone has ever said about me.

 

Your confidence in my continued success gives me hope.

I'm just a wimp. One operation of left knee, four on right, likely another one soon. I'll climb until right knee has to be replaced, or even after in the very unlikely event surgeon says I can.

 

Joking aside mate. you seem to have it sussed.

Pretty sure it was Tom D on here who quoted that diesel was cheaper than sweat.

Tree work aside, that first image is a great photo.

Good to see you back, still working on small trees then?

I find the Avant isn’t doing my lower back any favours on the bouncing about on jobs that are constant like flailing and landscaping, on tree work I’m on and off all day and don’t notice.  Hoping the Flailbot works takes off and I’ll move the Avant on.  Local hire guys just got a brand new 760 like yours so if needed I can get 1. 

Bang on, sore back yesterday.

 

Normally the flail would be advancing into and reversing out of thick bramble which is easier on the back than traversing fields.

 

Looking forward to vids of the roboflail in action, especially in different types of brush.

Hey Erik,

 

Welcome back.  That CT foot ascender you sent me a few years back is still going strong.

 

Cheers.

Dead beech today I had a lovely view 

Where is this?  Looks to me like Humber bridge, from the angle/distance I'd have a guess at swanland/anlaby/west ella area? Or am i miles out😆
