Wouldn't go quite that far, just the only 1 daft anough to do it! Some fantastic trees have been lost for sure and it's mostly the scabby 1ns left but the landowner has almost been talked into leaving these or at least making safe and replanting around them to create a mixed age/species woodland.

Some serious windblow today to cut our way into a forest to recover 2 360s that have been putting in a new road, big trees and apart from a smashed mirror and light, a bent exhaust and a bit of a dint in a panel no damage, couldn't have been luckier, once the big girl got freed and on helping push the stumps overwe really cleared some tonnage of oak beech and larch. The 2 saws are a 390xp with 28"bar and 088 with 36" for scale.

Helped a mate out on Monday and he was running normal petrol with the old Red Sthil oil, I'd forgotten how much it stinks even from 20ft up the tree. So glad I made the change and stuck with it in all my gear.
-
Nice large hanging branch thismorning about 20" and only just hanging on to the parent tree but well tangled at the opposite side of the road. Then remove some big hangers after a beech had failed into two others, good bit of traversing from Ben.

Had mine done and half my knee cap taken out after splitting it, still hurts like hell if I kneel in the wrong spot and occasionally collapses much to the amusement of my staff and friends but perfect otherwise and has never restricted what I do but good physio is the key and not overdoing it too soon.

But it a 4x4, can't understand why it got stuck I agree bob it's maddening sometimes!
-
👍 thanks for the reply, interesting stuff.

Should still give a vast improvement in view over a standard cab position even if you still have to look up a bit every so often, will she be taking the mulcher head as well as I imagine being able to look down onto the material rather than straight at it especially roady will be a huge advantage. One last but what could be a daft questions, can it still be used to dig be it not heavy earth shifting but more grading work with that top ram and boom length configuration?
-
I can see that been fantastic on embankment clearance projects, fast, precise and comfortable. Can the cab also tilt back to give you a clearer view up when cutting at full hight as in 1st picture? Will look forward to seeing some pictures of it in action and hopefully a few bit of video also.

Went past the flooding this morning and someone didn't make it and now the rescuer needs rescuing
-
Big pops over early thismorning and a little cherry outside the school to clear.

I've just got the same ben and it's been fantastic the last few nights with highways call outs as when you turn and look at something reflective like the back of the truck it dims itself so you don't get dazzled by the reflection and the battery on smart mode seems to last an incredible amount of time and the little indicator on the back showing how much charge is left if very useful.
-
Nope because they just hitch the chipper up to a mates pickup /van and off they go.
-
Not a trailer, 24ton 6 horse truck so even worse. No sat having a chill infront of logburner before the phone starts ringing again, wind seems to have dropped of a lot for now so hopefully get a bit more sleep as only had 2hrs last night.
-
Sister was out to Weatherby in a horse box taking a few to the races, she said anything over 40 just became scary especially with a load that can move on its own.
-
Very, taking a time out at moment to catch a few hrs sleep and scoff some chilly to refuel.

If my house ever floods we are all in serious problems! Lots of roads are bad like and only possible in some 4x4s, spotted a few submerged vehicles on my outings today. Some people have no sense of what they can get away with in a normal car. I bet a few wish they had stayed at home. Big gusts on the a66 were interesting even pushing my landy around quite worrying but a lot worse for a few truckers
-
A gentleman never tells so I'll look forward to hearing all about it
-
That must mean your on a prommis;)
-
Bet your still looking at or doing jobs thinking if only it was done, ah that would make that easier, hope it's done before we do that job.

Could have done with that beasty and it's strong arm today to help shift some of these fallen trees. Looking forward to seeing how it looks when your done 👍
