Ouch! Looks like a busy enough road, I wonder if the tree had moved in the recent winds and rain and not been noticed -
Thats what astonished me.. If i'd have been the crane driver, I would have stopped the job, give a stern briefing on the consequences of shock loading cranes and if it happened again I would have called the job and charged for the day.

Tried to insure my loader today with nfu To cut a long story short I was quoted £900 and told that if you are not into agriculture, your tractors should be insured on a commercial insurance policy if you are using them on the road or in a public area. Those with tractors that have them insured on an agri policy that are tree surgeons are not insured basically. I phoned trust who quoted a lot less but more or less said the same If I register it as agri, I can get it insured for less than £200 but when it comes to a claim I've no chance I've got headache
