Gray git

Well the game's over the last few days have been a fantastic event and we have had so much fun representing the Leeds transplant team. I'm so proud of Aaron for taking part and especially for getting a silver medal in the pool with 50m backstroke, a event he's never done in competition before

Definitely not been a easy journey on any of us and trying to run a business on top has definitely lost me a lot of my already grey hair but seeing the difference in him and getting back to enjoying life is worth it. Can't praise the team at Leeds general infirmary enough as the care has been excellent and apart from trying to get parked every week and a couple of parking tickets because appointments have been running late over the first 6months for checkups has been hassle free 😂

Total thread resurrection moment guy's but not a request for more dvd's. I was chatting with another veteran member the other day and he remembers this thread and asked how my lad was these days.... Well a lot has happened over the last few years, basically he was diagnosed with a very rare metabolic disorder which resulted in a restricted protein diet and lots of drugs to control the amount of ammonia in his bloodstream, fast forward a few years and lots of emergency hospital stays we thought we had him stable till he had a big attack in 2019 which resulted in several weeks in intensive care and a few more in recovery, just when we thought things were getting back to normal his immune system decided to go into overdrive and attack his nervous system resulting in another 7 weeks in hospital and replacement of all his blood plasma. After all this the doctors decided after much deliberation that a liver transplant was the safest solution as that would basically stop the potential lethal high levels of ammonia being produced. Jump to September 2022 after several false alarms we got the call a suitable donor had become available. 7hrs of surgery, new filters fitted and for the first time in his life he could suddenly eat however much of whatever he wants. 9 months later and he's doing amazingly and has been invited to take part in the transplant game's at the end of this month which we are so proud of him for. Not sure how to tag those above who contacted me originally.

Due to new contract’s, existing works and company growth Dryad-Arb are looking for another dedicated ground’s persons (full time PAYE). The role is aimed at someone with anything from basic to higher qualifications and experience within the arb/forestry sectors but at least a year in the industry in some form is preferable but don't worry if you're a broken climber wanting to take it a bit easier we won't judge, that's why I have machines. Our work portfolio varies from traditional arboriculture to forestry, the full specialist mechanical dismantling of individual trees to site clearances for both domestic and prestigious commercial clients.

Well we didn't go looking for this machine but when it came up for sale we had to have her. Takeuchi tb1140, such a stable machine and it just plays with all our attachments without any problems. Hopefully get the guarding sorted in the next few weeks.

Still a big county buddy, where abouts and how far you willing to travel?

Been playing with this setup on a few jobs recently, (I've hired in the bigger excavator so don't shoot me down for the lack of guarding.) Mounting the grapple on the extension jib gives so much more dexterity and reach and add in the fun you can gain with the GMT total tree control it really is a fast unit to clear medium trees. Being able to drop the GMT and quickly load chip with the clamshell is a massive bonus.

We had the 30/80 on demo but without the crane and were really impressed with the build quality and performance of the machine. The only reason we didn't go for that was we wanted a tracked machine and that would put the 30/80 over what can be towed behind a pickup so we decided if that's the case we might as well go for the next model and slightly bigger capacity with the 40/80.

Yeah I've had a 592xpg on order for over 2 year's I'd hope this new 540 will be available a bit quicker else like others have said it'll make Stihl more appealing

This is Otto my 6month old cocker who is definitely enjoying being a cab dog ever if it's not the easiest forwarding with him on my knee

Not massively in performance that I can tell although it's early days and haven't really pushed it on large volumes of material and chipping into our trailers to measure what volume it's putting out a hour and fule used, I do think it feeds faster but you can slow that down on the remote too and having top roller open makes getting big bits in so much easier. The Vermeer is quite a brute for its age and just keeps chewing at stuff till it's gone but we don't need a man standing next to this resetting the roller or reversing them when needed which when I worked out how much I'd spent on wages is quite a lot, now with the remote that man can be doing something else. The ufkes is a lot easier to machine feed with the open hopper and you don't need to avoid the winch but I am going to miss that winch as it gets used all the time. Vermeer will be going up for sale end of April once I've had time to sort a little wiring problem and service it and I'll be sorry to see it go.

Well we just took delivery of the tracked version and so pleased with it, few little modification to get finished off when I can actually get it off site for a few days. So easy to machine feed with the massive open top hopper and with everything being controlled by the remote but still having the option to hand feed with full safety bar and button's on the side. The only additional thing I'd have liked is a top roller open button on the side for making throwing chogs in easier but that's a really minor thing in the scheme of things.

Again What are we over riding?

Go on the Craig Give me a detailed description of what we are overriding to make it work?? I love to know as haven't found how or why I'd need to do it yet even though I'm on my second merlo and 3 years ownership.

e85 with the GMT 35 heading out to clear a small woodland of early ash dieback and with the Vermeer being remote control 1 man can cut nd chip in one movement really efficiently Discovered that the e26 can go side on o the big trailer leaving enough room at the back to sneak on a bit of timber to get it away from site

Yes the exhaust exists through the chute on the 1400 and when cold ours smokes a bit with being a fairly old school lump of a engine in it.

Found a setting on tha app to turn that off [emoji1303]

Just set all our new ones up. Anybody else find they can hear themselves talking really clearly through the speaker's?

No just need to avoid stumps in woodlands better [emoji23]

Really simple idea but how often have you nearly popped a track off and just need a bar to encourage it back on again but can't be arsed to go get it from the truck, now I don't have to.

That is quite cool as a attachment,

Thanks Dan, yeah that looks like it's going to fit Just seems a little stupid by Stihl that they produce a really good product that unless you buy a complete Stihl helmet and throw away the ears that come with it you can't setup without going after market.

Ok now the question is what visor's are people finding to clip onto these as my local dealer seems confused as hell about this... Apparently you can't order a whole visor assembly as a spare part. We mostly use kesk or petzle helmets with MSA defenders at the moment so the husky style visor's which won't work with these.

Impressive old yew stump at fountains Abby
