Gays.

I will climb until I die.

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 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 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.

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.

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.
