When I was about ten years old,we discovered that a old motorbike helmet would stop .22 bullets.So me and a mate took turns wearing it backwards and shooting each other.

Why did you bother with ramps?There are loads of old tyres over that fence you could have used. Amatures:thumbup1:

I thought that Alex Shigo was a "steward" of the ISA and had more than just a guiding hand in it.I am probably wrong,but thats what I was told and beleived.

I'm ISA certified,I got the cert as it was a prereqisite for an Arborist in the area I work in Canada.I took a month off and studied for six hours a day,really took it seriously. But what has annoyed me lately is the offter that the ISA allow's holders of the "European Treeworker" cert to get an ISA cert for just a payment to the ISA.No exam,no providence of time spent in the industry.Since Alex Shigo passed on,it seems that the ISA has become more focused on revenue gathering.Its just the way I feel anout it.

Thats a fine looking wagon you have there!Tell us the story about it.

Not being there dosn't help.But if there was room to straight fell it,why waste your time climbing? If it had to be climbed but not rigged and I knew it was that knackered for a start,then yes,"Get up there you pansy!"

I'f be proud of all that Matty! Well done!

Best of luck Chris! What made the Diff go?I thought the Salsubry diff was practically bulletproof?

When your mates come round for a party on new years eve carrying their old Christmas trees for you to get rid of.

Tockmal? Are you there?

When the "Sherrill" Cataloge gets thumbed untill the cover falls off and six months later you still havn't ordered anything!

Fair call.The guys would go on "bolt patrol" and tighten up anything loose.But I didn't expect the engine to loose three engine mounting bolts on one persons driveway in the course of an afternoon.

Well spotted! I have an enourmous respect for those Air Craft.They can drop two cylinders in flight and still chug along,they are the "Chevrolet Pickups" of the Sky.I saw one take off with so much aboard the floats were nearly under water,it just sat back and like a lazy blowfly eventually chugged into the Sky.

Vermeer just seemed to have lost the plot. Good engines and cutting units in the bigger ones.But the BC1800XL's got recalled in 2005 because the chassis cracked in PRETTY MUCH ALL OF THEM.A mate had one and the cracking was so bad it could have sheared off. The electrical switches in the whole machine are junk,you need more than a few in your toolbox as they go too often.They chose the wrong switches for the linkage that actuates them. The winch free spool and drive controll may as well be made out of "Play dough". The year before that we had a BC1400 that was so problematic it would take pages to catalouge all the breakdowns we had with it. But here are a few of the more notable. Rocker cover came loose and oil went everywhere. Engine mounting bolts fell out as nearly did the engine. Clutch disintegrated (brand new machine) Drive belt tensioner disintegrated (sparks and all) All the above happened to a new machine over a six month period.

when your idea of "Drift racing" is getting the mog/Transit/Cargo in a four wheel slide around a roundabout. You use the HI AB as a jack when you change the brakes in your Girlfreinds Polo. You can parallel park a Truck and chipper in a gap that most motorists would struggle to fit above said Polo

When you have rolled at least one chipper Chipped an annoying co workers Mobile Phone Put slugs in above co-workers sandwiches

I thought I'd start a thread for everyone to add a little somthing to. You know your a Tree Surgeon when emptying your vacume cleaner looks supprisingly like dumping a chip truck. When there are chainsaw parts in the dishwasher. Your mates applaude you sqeaking a chip truck through "width restrictors" at 40mph. So all,lets hear yours.
