    Tbh Kev I don’t do boundary jobs any more unless both parties are in agreement. Life is way too short to get involved in shitty arguments for people I’ll probably never see again.

    Nicely done Kev, but it doesn’t change the law.

    Isn’t a cyber attack a bit OTT?

    Is it this one Drew?

    Hahahahahaha! Perfect!

    Good catching up with people and buying a hangover. Shame the greasy-haired thieving bastards turned up and polluted the atmosphere a bit. Some immense kit there. That grapple saw rig was ludicrous!

    Didn’t realise you were going with me mate!

    Very highly mate, cracking little machine.

    No anchor for this dead oak stem which had a nasty back lean over an intricate fence, and garden. We set up a floating anchor so Danny Mac could get a better work position. He bombed some big chogs garden side then we winched it over with the GRCS. Chipper was for a separate tree.

    Bugger, I’ve missed it. I thought it was next weekend.

    They’re not bad Alex, but Ace grip lites have better grip and are half the price.

    To good men sometimes. RIP Tom.

    Quarter of a mile of conny hedge today. 3 of us, finished by 4.30. I think I might be ill when we do it next year.

    I tend to agree Mick, I think Peter Crouch nailed it with his Tweet. You’d probably never get both sets of fans belting out the National Anthem together to show their respect at a better time.

    Apathy is shite isn’t it? I can’t be bothered with it personally.

    You misspelt ‘pikeys’.

    Perfect Kev. This is a bit FB, but sums it up well.

    😂😂😂 I’m pretty sure that was just before you turned onto the A1? I think I was behind you, but I can’t remember really. I was drunk.

    Dan, a plant trailer allows for loads of overhang over the rear. It’s totally legal if you tie a filthy hi-vis on to the end of the protusion. I see it all the time. That 146 is a good trailer Mike, worked with my mate today who shifts his Norcar, digger, tracked chipper and 22.5m Multitel tracked MEWP with it. Not all at once! He also has a triaxle tilt that looks very similar to the one above, I’ll ask him pros and cons if you like? Not sure what make. Lead time on some of these is crazy at the moment, so that may influence your decision.

    It’s very difficult to get the washing machine in the pillow case though.

    I might buy a harness. If I do I’ll just put it on and wear it round the show so people know I’m a tree surgeon.
  24. Mark Bolam
    That’s all sounding horribly familiar!

    Not sure tbh, but it was a big old lump. 4 man lift when unbolted from the floor. Crank handle at the end for when the battery start invariably failed. That was some job for a youth.
