Blue rope coming out of the tree was tied to... wait for it.... a piece of thorn hedge! Why? Your guess is as good as mine. Maybe a sort of DIY sky line~!

Fred is THE man!!!!!!!!!!!

 

what a legend, i missed the chance of meeting fred years ago at a vintage tractor meeting, the old farmer where my boss had the yard didnt think we would be interested:scared1:

now this thread started off as a bit of a joke, but remember guys, there are guys/men out there that can still do our job in a boiler suit and steal toe cap boots, and a bunnit.

Traced it to a hydraulic fault where pressure equalised on either side of the piston on the legs resulting in warning sensors not activating to stop it tipping

 

So it did, we came down 45ft and the privet saved our lives although my passenger was badly injured, my only injury was a bit of whiplash across my chest and my confidence

We did 3 square metres of pointing on apex of a gable end and the PL insurance wouldn't pay out becaue we were, and I quote "Not doing Tree work at the time of the accident"

 

Adrenalin wise, it was a proper buzz !!
