    I had to do that as a trainee, mosly barn poles. The spades ate better than those lethal chainsaw attachments, and you can chat to the next bloke at the same time.

    I don't want to seem harsh but most accidents occur when peeps are rushing , as I have got older I have found that rather than rush dangerously , most things can wait for another day.

    Ha I'm too busy battling through 2" snow drifts to get to work , I have no time to make snowmen. ( my new climber is Austrian and he loves working in the snow!)

    I would say you are a lazy fool who deserved a broken wall to repay you for your effort.

    Can you lock the front axle to stop the articulation? I'm sure the MBtrac could do that.

    All banks want to earn money out of you, to get on well you need to have a good working relationship with the business manager. Pay your loans back on time and tell them when your gonna exceed your overdraft limit and buy an occasional personal insurance plan and they bump your credit rating up and up. I credit scored in the second highest level last year and they are happy to pile money in my lap.

    Versatility is the key, being able to use one piece of kit for several jobs is vital. My Botex was made in 1986, the tractor in about 1978. They are only used occasionally , but are invaluable. The trailer design is such that wood can be stacked in either direction long ways or accross the bed. Most new trailers only carry wood longways which is a disadvantge. This crane is very short so reach is an issue. (Its the grandaddy of the Botex360.) With thought , massive lumps of timber ( and rootballed palm trees) can be loaded or moved.

    The first thing to look at is the condition of the black rubber pipe that runs from the decompressor to the base of the crankcase. If its split , it runs like s...

    what is going on with that timber grab is it a training version with stabilisers?
  19. Log-ologist
    or to hang your man bag on

    Judging by the dull sharpening skills of recent trainees, no skill is needed at all for cs30.
  21. Log-ologist
    yep, never leave home without it!

    Has anyone had a tighter fell than this, 6 inches below the patio was the spec. Despite paving over the roots this maple was in good shape.

    Treetech will be one refered by me, Oliver.

    I didn't know Euc's grew in the frozen wastes in the north of Scotland. Do you think demolition workers worry about knocking down historic or interesting buildings ? Do scrap merchants worry about melting down our industrial herriatage? Why worry about doing that to a tree, if thats what the client wants and as long as its left safe .... What is important is that you know its not the best practice and that you have recomended the most suitable course of action available. Regardless of the clients choice.

    after 20 years I'm still wondering that myself....
