  1. We have a you female apprentice and she is doing fine but it's still a minority within the industry so well done for you if you can team up and make it work as I think a lot of customers respond well to having a female presence on the crew and a good friend who is a ceramic Tyler is desperately trying to find a female member of staff for just that reason.
  2. Better drop the price of my machine as it's done 400hrs but has totally been rebuild like new nd had it up at 15k.
  3. Wouldn't bother with a st6 size machine, step up a bit to a 8" machine and you won't regret it as production really jumps up., if you need sub 750 then the 230 or quadchip are probably the best that I've used.
  4. Must have a lady on the go that's taking up all his time [emoji106]
  5. Something very strange going on here??
  6. Yes but found it a bit sticky and not a smooth rope to use although it was my favourite for the hitch climber, going up was fine as it's a nice rope to handle with plenty of grip but would never self tend but coming down always found it a bit jurky and hard to get smooth rope flow through the zigzag.
  7. Lovely pictures, they look very strong horse's and perfect for the work, especially like the last picture.
  8. Napalm! It was the sort of steepness that if your toes got in front of the line of your nuts you slipped on your arse!
  9. Shhh don't give them idea's! [emoji12]🤔
  10. A few from this week, Extreme rope access strimming all the way down to the road. With lovely views Failed sycamore Landowners couldn't understand why it fell apart..... Bit of flailing with the side arm A very lucky windblown sycamore to miss all the lines /20171026/4f453715632169cc45102054c4e01d8e.jpg[/img] Not your normal forwarder load, a 14ft stump
  11. Our street truck it's getting know as, get a bit of sign writing done next week should make it look a bit better for now.
  12. Another van added to the fleet this week, 1st time I've had something that's not 4x4 as a workhorse, pulls the bandit well so that fine by me. Had to codge some sides on as a temp effort till we can spare some time to build a lighter alloy body for it but all really had to modify with a full lid as 90 lobs chip that hard it was bouncing out everywhere. Put it on the scales today and 2720kg with me in it so not as bad as I feared.
  13. Sad isn't it the next generations will never experience the joy of finding a discarded jazz mag nd sneak it into school to share with there mates. Internet has killed that.
  14. Looks bigger than my bandit 90! Might just be with it being on sing axel. Let us know how she go's
  15. Dead rabbit hit with a mulching blade on a strimming job left an interesting smell in the air. Plenty of dog shit, a few sharps over the years. Working for the MOD on the Moor top training grounds you actually get briefed on what to do if you find human remains as it's believed that when several missing persons have been put, luckily not found any yet and hopefully never will!
  16. Don't know what it'll be going for but sounds like the same as a bandit 90xp Mason's woodchippers have this 1 in at moment which might be worth a look as you know you will have the back up from global for it. http://masonwoodchippers.com/listing/bandit-90xp-woodchipper-m514/
  17. Almost like our apprentice forgetting to engage the chipper clutch and just firing up the rpm and packing the chamber solid with lime shoots and I mean solid!
  18. Blowing with some decent gusts up at the top of Yorkshire now, was interesting bringing the tractor back along the a66 with gusts and wagons weaving around.
  19. Always thought that these were a good concept for a pto grinder giving reach across stuff like fences or ditches
  20. Good work and well done doing it, I hate graveyard jobs! Not picking falt as you have explained already why but don't you think it slightly wrong to be damaging the bark and cambium on another tree by using it as the friction device, surely if that's your control choice use the tree being removed and not risk basically ring barking another.... Ps like the little mog.
  21. Looking like we will just catch the edge but who knows as these things seem to be a bit unpredictable and can change. Ironic as we are 30 years from the great storm as in another thread we could get another!
