Wishful thinking. Recovery truck turned up, no tow bar. Our office have told us to dump the chipper on the road and leave the other two guys to guard it until i get back. (After new clutch is fitted.)

 

Couldn't make it up. 😂

4+ hours later they tell me they have the wrong clutch and flywheel and it won't be ready today.

 

Hitched a lift home, got to go back tomorrow and collect it when done.

 

Should've had it recovered home and done it myself.

Nightmare Moose!

 

Day 3 of a connie kill-fest, probably a great example of why topping connies is so truly shite.

Dead middles, inclusions everywhere and inevitable massive crown spreads.

BT lines, LV feed, house and fragile fence in the mix.

12 loads of chip and one of rakings. Luckily all the heavy was staying.

 

Finished at dark o’clock with a cold one.

 

Met this little fella on the lane just before the job.

Yep, stood around outside for 5 hours waiting. The two other guys stood around outside with the chipper by J26 for hours too. Ridiculous.

 

Beautiful little fox! 😍
