I enjoyed the pictures you posted ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,no, wait

 

Ha, I'm not an arborist/tree surgeon or what ever you call yourself..

So don't have an arb truck..

 

I do enjoy this forum and the community on it though... I have an Eliet pro 4 old version and a bearcat 5in that's god knows how old and showing.

I was thinking about getting into tree work some years back, this forum has sort of rekindled that somewhat...

 

Then theres the phone to take pics, no idea how to get any pics on here even if I had something to show..

 

 

But,,, If,N, I did use my tranny pickup as an arb truck you'd more than likely see it decked out in a couple of ply boards with a piece of wood nailed across the top to give it a bit of strength for the day...

just enough to stop the thing blowing off....

 

Unlike someone I once knew who bodged a horsebox onto a 7'5 tonner, went out in on the motorway, came back without his roof...

"wheres the roof", I said.

F*ed if I know, it was on when I set off......

All you guys that are putting boxes on non-tipping pickups are going to get seriously ill or dead from shovelling chips out!

Educate yourselves.
