    I also climbed a 100foot lime to film andrew chogging down a 90foot dead beech, pics and vid to follow.

    This was from the top.
  3. Crown cleaned this today, storks nest crown ment I could stick my hear right out of the top, taped at exactly 30m, 5mCBH.
  4. very nice john:001_smile:
  5. A few from yesterday: Andrew dealing with a couple of big hangers in a beech over a road and a stone dead (armillaria) spruce I took down. And finally a nice old open grown oak I saw today while pricing, the paper is a4 for scale.
  6. A few habitats naturaly created, from my walk today. Plus a couple of other nice trees.
  7. i already have one on mine, lick lick.
  8. Very nice Mike, do you have any treework ambitions left, heli-dismantle? Top stuff.

    small van

    I doubt there'd be any logs left by the time you got there lol:001_smile:

    If that was the case I'd be better off letting him take the transit home, the only thing that puts me off that is that all the saws are in it usually. Its a shame you can't get a fiesta pickup tbh, that could take a bag of logs.

    small van

    I am tempted but tbh this is a perk for andrew so the better the mpg the better, as i will be paying for the fuel.

    small van

    the connect is probably a little big, and the escort is probably a bit too old,its for my employee to take home at night so economy and cheap insurance are important. Thanks for the info so far.

    small van

    Any recommendations for a small van, looking for something economical and reliable; berlingo, partner, combo, fiesta etc. Good points bad points?
  15. looks like you're having a ball mate, when you compare what you are doing now to setting up on your own and all the hassle that goes with it you definately made the right choice.
  16. one more tip which you probably know, with the transmission handbrake on that vehicle if you lift a wheel you have no brake, so remember to diff lock before winching. nice work BTW
  17. i ment to ask, how did you rate the huskys on monday mate? i ment to get the new 362 out for a play but forgot.
  18. congratulations
  19. Happy birthday mate.
  20. The sandvic ones can be sharpened on the machine with a diamond disc on a wee grinder, the green teeth get three turns then the bin. I have seen both types on a 60 Hp carlton the sandvic ones do it for me, although both were impressive.
  21. This was my best stunt fell, this tree was big, it fitted in with 2-3 foot to spare it took 3 days to clear up, no joke. The pics are a bit crap, the felling cut was a 36" bar on a 66 so you can see the stump was about 45", that was at about 4'up too because of the tight space. Im not saying how little money I had on it but it was embarassingly little, my best stunt fell but my worst pricing cock up. It was about 4 years ago.
  22. have you thought about the sandvic wheel Simon? I have seen one going, its impressive.
  23. I'm not sure what the rims are tbh, I did a deal with a local tyre dealer when I bought it, he took the OE rims and tyres in part exchange for these. The tyres are pirelli scorpion mud's, they have worn extremely well, 40k miles so far and still a bit to go. I am planning on getting another set of rims to rum all terains in the summer to save fuel.
  24. A pic of my recently "gayed up" 110
  25. We supply to that area, still have loads of top notch stuff, can deliver. I'll pm you a number
