  1. Anyone thinking of working in Qld be reminded this year and last has been brutal! 32c in the shade, non stop rain and horrendous humidity...
  2. Try Affordable Tree (care service) Hervey Bay Advanced tree care Hervey Bay Budget Tree services again Hervey Bay They're always looking for good staff, you never know. Worth a try
  3. All this new battery powered gear is amazing. I used to hate two stroke fumes. I must agree I'd prefer the old style tensioner
  4. 3 all in the same tree, hit a phone cable with the stump grinder knocked out and entire close.
  5. Not really mate we had several inches on the Granite Belt last week.. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-07-17/thick-snow-blankets-southern-queensland/6626630
  6. Its like anything in business, if its profitable it will be worth doing if not don't bother.
  7. Over here its all about sugarcane thousands upon thousands of hectares. They plant billets directly no till. I guess much of it goes for ethanol.
  8. I'd forgotten about balance ploughs Mike, looking at the way they operated I'd think they were responsible for the removal of many old and ancient hedges...
  9. Little Fergies only used to pull a double, plowing and on very heavy ground a single, plowing with a crawler was popular for a while
  10. If I was starting over a hgv would be first priority, as for the question 10, 12 or even 14 tonner with crane would be my choice. I had a 7.5 ton Isuzu great lorry for filling with chip and never went over loaded, but ideally you need a crane in this game you won't fit ond and carry more than 3 ton if fitted to a 7.5 toner. As for 3.5 toners they're a waste of time and effort, I learnt through the hard way..
  11. If somebody accused me of stealing something which I hadn't I'm afraid we'd have resort to sorting things the way old fashioned way!
  12. We're all those long hot summer school holidays with the odd thunderstorm really just in our imagination?
  13. Sorry lads 24c here today blue sky, not bad for winter...
  14. The UK has a horrible culture of knocking those that have done well, I'm a staunch socialist but I have no problem with wealth just as long as they pay there dues.
  15. The inexperienced can expect dreadfully low wages to start with sadly its part of the game...
  16. Having been in this game for 28 years plus I have to agree with Mikes words. Choose an easier way to earn a crust mate
  17. If its under the whatever value it is these days, fill the paperwork in for a small claims court hearing.
  18. It looks from where I'm sitting Sean your career with trees is far from over!
  19. I reckon the construction of the car park was the start of the decline those diggers show little mercy to roots
  20. Marine grade 316 Stainless steel is about the only stainless pretty much guaranteed not to rust
  21. They had snow here today on the Granite Belt Southern QLD first fall in 30 years
  22. Low 20s Jon, night time down to 8 dry and bright. Next week temps should be back up to mid 20s. Still not bad for winter.....
  23. My new truck will be one of these Landcruiser UTE hopefully early next year Nice truck Josh all the best mate, once you go Toyota you never go back...
