    No its off my smaller digger but had the mounting plate made so it could go onto this 8toner if we needed more reach or power which it certainly has! Got a hardwood forestry thinning job in the new year that this will be coming on for about a week to stack the timber and brash.

    Got my grab onto my friends 8toner last week which made like so easy,

    That's the magic right there for sure! My two are 7 and 4 now and so excited, old enough to realy enjoy it and young enough to still believe. Got a wireless Bluetooth speaker so can take my music round the house without inflicting it on everyone.

    Didn't get an ash about the same as that this week as another guy said if he could have the timber he'd do it 200 cheaper than me!?! Conifer is 3 men morning then 2 off to a 2nd job while 1 stays and grinds and fills trailer with logs. 550ish round here for a domestic job in that sort of housing I'd think but some fool would probably put 250 on it for cash in hand on a Saturday!

    Sprouts, chestnuts and homemade sloe gin. Not a fan of dates, strange texture!

    Really would not want to slip and insert 1 of those claws into my own leg!

    Yeh and as not allowed to work tomorrow because I really need to do some shopping I just cracked on nd got done, 1 good thing was all the mud that the branches picked up getting dragged down bank got washed of before going into the chipper 👍 Interesting (but sad) about your uncle rich, I'll ask a few of the old timers in the village if they remember him and yes that river is dangerous and claimed a few!

    Better bud as I like the posh horsey girls with whips 😍

    Nope, can't see why anyone would want to get this calender as it could never be displayed at home, yard maybe but hidden if wife came down

    Didn't know it was till we got to site and at an hour nd half travel in tractor didn't fancy turning round again, had Road closure booked for today and had to be done before Christmas as the soil is getting shifted between that and new year. The river is the swale which is the fastest non tidal river in the country and at 7am was completely clear.

    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

    Another view of 1.

    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.

    Great minds think alike and perverts never differ eh hodge 😜 Yes she is!
