Get the naughty naughty boys into one of these but with a handy wall at the other side, sorry derailing slightly but it was the slingshot and a youtube wandering that led to it The Human Slingshot:
-
We'd hav been lucky to see as far as the waters edge never mind get a lovely sunset like that with the murky weather here.
-
Going to have a go with that tomorrow. See how it flys so I'm prepared for the incoming. I know golf balls are quite devastating out of a bigshot when you accidentally hit a passing crow but bet I'd never be able to repete.
-
No but have 2 pairs on rotation that get put on top of the engine and the warm air from the radiator fan dried them in about half hr and toasty warm but crispy. Alloy rims.... Only seen em on a pink bandit I think.
-
I'd be happy with the bit till the metallic paint, mat finish is where it's at these days, you forgot the glove drying tray above the engine ;-)
-
That's nuts! Climbing is 1 thing but the walking around the top just made me feel queasy, couldn't do that the way my knee collapses from time to time, I'd just fall off!
-
No! What a waste of talent, what's he doing with himself if not bothering trees!?!
-
Nice 1 ham, lovely steep banking to slide around on, is that big nick up tree in last picture?
-
Last 1 neatly positioned for the carver I guess ;-)
-
Similar to why I like the app for arbtalk as I can set it white words on black background, much easier to read.
-
And some pi if you do reports and hip for extra equip all 2geth not as bad as indvid Don't you just love abbreviations
-
He is employed by you to do it as laber only so you will be required to cover him. Take the same job and say to me come in as a company and cut them down, chip tidy etc I provide all labour equipment and decided how best/safest way to do it so you have minimal imput so realistically you become my client so don't require any.
-
Tidy up this little mess from yesterday, Bombed it all out last thing yesterday as was a nice evening and weather report said it'd pee down today so didn't fancy slipping around it today. About 8m2 from it all chipped up, poles felled by lunch and onto next tree
-
Easy if your there telling someone what to do using your equipment you need it, if you just hand em a jobsheet only and say let me know when your done and invoice me then you don't as long as they have their own insurance to cover them.
-
Lucky, we have tree officers dealing only with north Yorkshire schools.and only 3 authorised companies covering it. Private schools are different and i work for a few quit regularly.
-
School are often a waste of time as they are governed by the local education lot who only use pre authorised contractors and have very little say as to who works on there grounds. Parish councils are often better bet but run by retired board businessmen so cleaky.
-
Problem is I tend to smash a load of tree down then go down and run around helping tidy up so still getting a work out. Just making people aware of who you are and what you can do is the thing, networking!
-
Get involved with a local group like the round table, volunteered myself and cherrypicker last weekend to help put up Christmas lights with them which is fundraiser through local businesses and although I got payed in coffee and a pie by the end of the day I'd got over a grands worth of work lined up for the machine on local jobs.
-
Will mention this to hydraulic bloke when I see him next week as he is finding out about putting in a radio remote servo valve for the winch.so might get it all done at same time, in for a penny and all that! I know what you mean about blade sizes, just so used to the big splitters iv had for years but as this is ment for occasional use might do. Any other light machines recommend that'd give a comfortable work hight and decent size table?
-
Probably needed the draw bar adjusting to lower the nose and lift the hopper looking at how the drop down bit is sat, it didn't touch the ground when I used 1 on the rb44.
-
Treemotion at the moment but itching to try the new petzle or the astrian 3.2 properly, had a little sit in gustharts last week but can never tell till you hav cs pants on and 40ft off the ground. Still got a butterfly which sometimes gets an outing for minimalistic pruning jobs with silky only. Nowt wrong with a weaver, had 1 years ago but got nicked out of works van and never tried another.
-
Looking good paul, surely you'd prefer a green machine behind the van everyday. How'd you find the 150 compared to the wolf. You can tel why the yanks call them saddles not harness when you look at the construction of that thing trooper has!! So was client suitably impressed?
-
Climb safe bud, and we want the full story later
-
Took me a few moments to get high anough to spot the pink Floyd connection ;-)
-
Did wounder about them but the blade always looks too small to me, like it's always going to get stuck rather than spit.
