That does look the Mutts.

Looks good to me mate! I like the way it is easy to carry and the fact that it has two Straps and ratchets attached. I wouldn't worry about the drum wearing out.

I have to remount the tip ram and the deck.I will clean up the edges of the Deck and paint the sideboards the same colour as the Cab. I have to keep needling the painter about the racing stripe.It will probably be a plastic one that sticks on,I think it will have two stripes,one thick the other thin. Yeah I know about the light,broke the sodding lense when I towed it out of the garage with the digger one day.Buggar.

I like the way you have retained the dropsides,the Vice idea is very smart. Maybe put a sheet metal upright on the far end of the Dropside and paint it a bright colour.That way you will be able to see that the side might be down when you look in the off side mirror.

Here are a couple more pics of the Truck outside.Its been the first fine day for over two months.

Do the Horse Shoes have Cleats on them to help with grip? Very interesting photos.
-
No. They would be suicide on icey roads.I would like some but have another set of the same tyres as it is.Before the tracked chipper I was seriously considering a set though.
-
Thanks mate! Would have liked to have painted the inside of the Cab.However got stuffed around by the painter.I am waiting for him to come good with the racing Stripe. Won't hold my breath.

Here are a couple of pictures of my mog after a Body off "restoration".Mainly I took the cab off to get it painted and sort out any rust.The Rust removal was pretty breif as what I thought was corrosion was really the factory rust coat bubbling off. Its been about a month late in getting finnished.I only got the Mud gards and X frame back today. Alls well that ends well though.

Just aim between them......

Its great that people are fronting up money for your logs mate! They must have been well chuffed the first time round! Last year our yard was full of logs,nobody wanted them and paid us to take them off site.Been the total reverse this year,people are usually keeping the logs.Even the Connifer.

That Loader Looks the business mate!

I enjoy a diet high in Protein (fish three or four times a day).Soy Milk instead of regular and so on. Back before Humans were farming,we only had a consistant supply of Carbohydrates during the summer.In the Spring,Autum and winter we would have been hunting and eating Animals .Protein is what Muscles use to repair themselves from weight training or physical work.Look at your Teeth,most of them are designed to cut and tear,like a Carnivor.Molars are for crushing plant stems etc.You have more incisors than Molars for a reason.You must also have Carbohydrates as well,hoevever simple Carbs like Sugar or refined Flour cause a spike in your blood sugar levels. Milk was only intended for a high nutrient diet in infacey. Simple Carbs,even Brown Bread are a slow release and do not cause spikes in Blood Sugar. Eat Wheatabix.Good simple Carbs.

If you get the chance,install a climbing line before the day of the job.It gives you a chance to get a better ida of the job before the rush of the day. I do this on most of the big stuff we do,I find it speeds things up no end. I would put two days on that Tree going from the photos.

Give Pilates a go mate.Its similar to Yoga and I found it helped reduce the inflexability I experianced from weight training. Also try cutting out all Dairy Products and refined sugar for a couple of weeks. Cut out the Milk and Cheese on week and the Sugar the next. Try it,you may be well supprised with how it reduces your joint pain.

Thats totally ruined my virtual erection.

When you admire the clean up your groundies have done,then gasp in horror when that last tiny pile of leaves and gravel gets shuffled onto a rake with a Boot and flicked into the chipper.
-
Thanks for posting those photo's,would loved to have made it over. Be there next year.
-
Looks good that! How many horse power?
-
Put two or more three ton "ratchet straps" around the stems spaced evenly apart.Then Fell it in one.

A Goat can untie a Knot as well......

It probably depends on how big the things are you have to "Feel". The bigger the diameter at breast hight (DBH) the more I would charge. "Feeling" can be good at the time,but regretfull in the morning.
