I would guess found a fence, rylock is a favorite. Had that t shirt.

Doesn't really qualify as 'work' but dealt with some windfall today.

[Mark Bolam]

That’s certainly dealt with.

Four of these, and one more tomorrow. 

 

 

Bit of climbing, bit of pulling.

Old stump got brought up when tracking over the ground and broke through the crust so machine was bogged, track kept slipping when winching out,  the reciprocator makita is great for cutting through dirty timber and roots that get caught up.  I had a bit of dead elm break a hydraulic hose coupling the other day, cut through that too!  Limp of dead ash jam against radiator, cut through that and if wire gets wrapped up or bolts bent I change blade and cut them.  I have a dedicated makita box and batteries with about 6 battery powered tools , grease gun, impact socket, impact drill, grinder, saw, drill. 
  This week I’ve broken bolts and hammers, hydraulic couplers, replaced fuel pump and sheared 4 bolts that hold head onto adapter plate!  It’s a rough job in the woods!  There’s a lot of FFS moments 😂
