    Bit wet on a landslip job today, 1st picks are last week when I priced it then today.

    Sick of claggy ground, getting stuck everything feeling damp and gusty wind making jobs that little bit harder, where abouts in the dales are you Dave?

    Was just talking about this with my grandad who worked the NE mines all his working life as a supervisor and pit rescue, one of the 1st on the ground after the Easington 1951 disaster which is why a lot of the deep mines aren't open today, just too uneconomical to do safely anymore without actually knowing what or how much will be found, opencast is safer and in most cases easier to usebigger equipment. We just don't have the reserves some other countries have that are easily accessible anymore. It's sad to see the unemployment created and generations who have worked these mines cast aside

    Can't do 3D as a scar on my left eye makes it focus slightly slower than the right so it just ends up a big blure and a bad head! Good old 2d for me.

    Yeh but the picker go's left and right, this just go's up, not even down. Just used for initial access up to a high point where you can set a conventional climbing system and start working plus no good if your tree is compromised in any way. A good tool to help but couldn't see it earnings me as much as the picker, at least not in the stunted wee trees round here 😉

    Your optimistic! I think the arb association is as close to 1 as we're going to get....

    Because I guess they cost a fortune and it's cheaper to find an enthusiastic trainee to do it. Think it's more appropriate in the states where trees are much bigger, it's an exceptional day to be working much over 70ft in this country on a regular basis but in some areas that's regularly the 1st branch.

    Redwood removal today, large merip infested beech had gone over and give it a good thrashing on its way down and had left quite a deep rub mark on its side. National parks tree officer decided to lift the tpo and allow the removal because of the worries of failure, nice target drop zone in the old horse Walker. Started tidying the beech but that will be to finish in the new year.

    This is the same as my old machine and what I'm thinking of getting again just for ease of use to do a few logs each night over the summer and build up a good stock again and for on site stuff when I don't want to tie up the truck to run the other splitter. Only problem I had was the cables from the handles needed replacing about ever 12month which isn't that expensive but fidderly compared to rods used in this 1 I also looked at.

    Used to have 1 before it got nicked and it was a brilliant machine, very productive with the footpeddle to lower the blade and hold the log before splitting, just been pricing up a new one against what else is available but keep coming back to the fact it's faster .
  20. Gray git
    Yes it is as mine has both the roler between the felling dog's and the aluminium 1 as normal saws have local dealer should be able to look it up on computer for you and get it ordered .

    Makes it feel a bit more Christmas like don't it! Bit less than we had bud but the kids love it.

    Got to about 4" and came down quick which caused the problems. Yeh we have had the extreme weather this month!

    My house, thisevening bud. Took me 2hrs to get home from town which is normally a 10min drive, landy was fine but people out in softroaders with low profile slicks were constantly getting stuck reving the tits of the moters when tickover and decent tires do the job nicely!

    Snow creating a bit of problems today with people incapable of driving sensibly in it, kids loved it!
