  1. Na, just chose to ignore you johny:p I think the question was more about why the willow was in t water in the 1st place, well Wat append twas. On trying to avoid hitting an old stump and it bouncing into a garage I aimed along the banking but having to fell it high so it can be dug out ment the sodding thing bounced and rolled, splash!

  2. The truck runs on finest white wine from shell but the occupants of the cab required frequent refuelling with cafine based beverages. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  3. Bigger sprocket makes a difference and only cutting 6" of timber. It was cutting well till took 3 teeth clean off when I hit a bit of metal. See if you can spot the point, slight step cut at the back to try and avoid hitting it twice sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  4. That's what the customer wanted and believe me he's the sort of bloke that gets what he wants 'self made millionaire ' Good news is that the rotten sections of trunk are getting placed out of site in the woodland are running down the field edge so it cam decompose in its own time sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

And this is why I look worried, get tagged by these things and Paul would be sticking a epping pen in my arse :eek: Seem to be be having a run of compromised sycamores at the moment don't I. That big mut was brilliant, big softy! And I found not only can Paul make trees disappeare but also very efficient at making scons disappear too sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  18. Your pulling tomorrow s tree over Paul Bring that new harness tomorrow as forgot to have a shufty today. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  19. Apart from last night's rain making access for the trucks a little interesting couldn't have asked for a better day for it. You get some cracking photos today bud, like the 1 of pudding the mad lab basking in the sun. Everything was just that little bit awkward with this 1, decay, big timber, no rigging, expensive rought iron fence under it, replacement tree growing nicely where it all wanted to fall and a steep wet slippy sheep poo hillside under it. I's like a challenge! Boys on the floor had this season's 1 green fly to keep em company and lots of em. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  20. Customer also turned out to be a champion brash dragger and kept the whole place tidy, even helped with a bit of rigging and truly enjoyed himself. Paul was a star just floating stuff away from me all day on the rigging and apart from a few BIG drops of rain a very enjoyable day. Now for another dodgy 1 today, big hollow sycamore! sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

  23. You can guarantee 1 thing about these shows that whatever you have the least of will generally sell best then you take more of these next time and they don't go but what didn't last time so less with you fly off the stand, fickleness of the public! sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  24. Ty, that's a common 1 around here as well with stumps but I always am careful to add in the quote that the price for the stump only applies if I cut the tree down and is accepted at the same time as the tree price, non of this calling up 3 month later saying can we have rid of the stump now that's sat in the middle of a bomb crater that I'd struggle to get a hurricane grinder too. Had a few can you chip for us... . Turned out to be a bonfire of singed conifer covered in oil from them trying to burn it, no thanks!! sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  25. I like the little well timed flick of the line on the first few bits to hop the wall, guess you need a well built groundy to get the best from this system but already planning where I can use this slight mod on how I normally rig a zip on upcoming jobs. Thanks reg, always an education. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
