Long time ago, I had to grind out a large beech stump - the tree was felled because it threatened a grade1 listed house in a little village in Notts.........

Really happy with my Bandit Dean...i have killed a fair few stumps without breaking sweat, have gotta grind slightly different with the hydro head but still a good machine

 

 

Glad your happy Simon, your exactly right.

Here is a few more from today, just in and I am tired in a pleasant way, I am going to keep bringing a back pack to keep food in, yet again i never came around to bring myself back to the van to eat that tuna / bread i got at the petrol station.

Sorry about her there not using hard hat safety glasses, she normally use it all the time due to i do not let her off with it, but the grinder was loaded on the van at the time so no dangers of flying stones or what have you.

I can relate...i get a lot of job satisfaction watching a machine battering out a lump of wood that is anchored so fast into the ground.

 

 

 

Well for me it is like this

 

 

I don't have any football or any other sport things i'm involved in, there is just

work and that's about it.

 

I much more prefer to see my machine approaching a tree stump ready to mess it up compared to sit and see sport on tv or putting on bets.

Fiance goes a little fed up on me sometimes, so then i take her out on a lunch and doing my very best not talking about work.

 

Sometimes i slip and mention a tree stump or a tree removal.

 

It is strange when you like the work so much, that i do know the body is very very tired, but to stop is not an option.

 

I know from military in Sweden that when you think you are tired you just reached perhaps 5% of your total power.

 

I read your post Silky a very long thread, read every single post there it was really uplifting and very positive.

 

And that is what makes the world spin positive thinking.

I think we may be cut from the same block of wood my stumpgrinding friend.....maybe our paths will cross one day...would be a good meeting of minds...if you don't love your job.....you're in the wrong job.
