Dead beech today I had a lovely view

More flailing.

Forked out for a heavier duty Avant flail, ‘L’ hammers and more poke from the pump.

Hurts your back a bit bouncing around across fields.

 

Got to sell the Multione flail if anyone is looking…

I don’t mind a bit of this, I upgraded the flail because I can see a bit of a niche for me doing this as I enter my dotage, jobs too small and inaccessible for the farmers with hundreds of hp, and too big for the gardeners.

I have exactly the same plan for increasing decrepitude. Heavy duty flail on 40hp Kubota tractor, hedge cutter for same, digger with grab, tracked MEWP, etc. Hiring myself out with machinery I operate.

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.

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 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.
