I think it was yes. You and me were in the same group, and you got stuck in a rope tangle getting out of the work climb!
-
Dont think so, although I cant really remember tbh. So, recipe for success, get overnight ferry on stormest day of the year, arrive an hour late on 2 hours sleep after a 10 hour journey! Perhaps if I threw a hangover into the mix I might get a 12th place!

I strongly resent that accusation, I have never placed in the top 50%

I retired last year. Might be time for a comeback this season though.

Bashing a lump out of a turkey oak today.

Plus billets dont tend to get stolen like oven ready logs.
-
Split into 3-4 foot billets, then stack the billets and cut to length just before delivery.

That looks pretty smart, how do you go on chipping with it on the trailer, with the extra height? Looks like its going to fire the chip right over the truck?
-
Nah, I have staff for the boring jobs!
-
Looks good. What size digger is that?
-
Yes it is a pain although its easier with two men. A Hobbs would be my first choice for rigging lots of big lumps of timber. I have used hobbs, grcs, portys and the stein single bollard btw.

Looks like one of Jerry Baraneks to me. Fundamentals of General Tree Work?

Garmin nuvi 250 widescreen. Does the job, but the TMC is rubbish. The TMC on my Nissan Navteq system is excellent, but it doesnt use postcodes. I have used a tom tom, i find the route guidance clearer on the garmin, other than that they are about the same. They both tend to favour bigger roads, which can be annoying, but if you set them to shortest route then it gets really silly taking you down tiny roads.

Eh? A splice cost £20, how is that expensive? You'll get back £20 in time not spent tying and untying knots, plus the satisfaction of having the right tool for the job.

So you are claiming to be the Lewis Hamilton of the arb world then? Are there any regs covering such practises in Sweden?
-
Sure did! He moved the car first, still quite an awkward fell, heavy side weighting and a back lean. The old tapered hinge came out, dropped just right but it pulled some really long fibres on the tension side.
-
Little stunt fell from today, the owner of the car was watching out of the window, he offered to move it just as I was hammering the wedges in......
-
I hope he gets prosecuted. There is no excuse for employing someone with no training and no experience to do a hazardous job.
-
Sounds nasty. Was it someone being paid to do the work or a diyer out of their depth?
-
Luvverly job.
-
Have you not seen Reg's video of him lifting a tracked chipper over a wall with his Hobbs then?
-
Looks like the lid off a rhubarb forcer to me!

Ring Bateson, tell them exactly what you want and they will build it for you, simples.

Tiltbed for a dedicated chipper trailer every time.
