    Dan! Where have you been? 2nd shot is a belter.

    High stumps. The forwarder will knack it’s tyres. Disgraceful.

    It says they have ‘improved’ buckles. Still think they should have gone for the Cobra click buckles, they are bomb proof. Still really happy with my Koala.

    Well the lad obviously has no problem writing, I reckon this is just a fat-fingered typo. The rest of his post is pretty well written. Spelling is fairly important in this job. Job sheets, RA’s etc. You don’t want the team cutting down the tree next to the Porsche when it should have been the one next to the porch! @wood cutter have you tried Beechwood? Coventry way.

    Stop stitching him up you bastards.

    Bet that could tell a few stories Paul.

    XR2i?

    No, I've sold my stump grinder.

    The best course of action for us is to reduce it several times over a period of time, then take it down. That way we can make more money.

    The problem is second hand rope doesn't fetch very good money. Spare rope is also very handy! None CE Cougar Blue from Treeworker is great for SRT, but also works for Ddrt really well. I still switch between systems depending on the job, but do carry 2 ropes around in the truck.

    What’s the correct answer then @STIHL GB?
  12. Mark Bolam
    At last! Someone has read the manual!
  13. Mark Bolam
    So. Just run it flat out, then?

    Good point Dan. I bet they would then increase the premium. The argument that passengers might be more valuable than tools probably wouldn't wash with them.
  15. Mark Bolam
    I think.
  16. Mark Bolam
    Thanks! It’s a great honour.

    If I go down this route I’ll probably just knock some ply shelving up like Reg has done. Mine will have to incorporate a dog nest as well! Also following with interest.

    And the sharper the saw, the quicker you find the metal!
  19. Mark Bolam
    I bet you’ve been dogged in a few times as well.
  20. Mark Bolam
    Aye, agreed, older and wiser now.

    A carabiner is a lot cheaper Mick. ?

    @Conorjm10, if it hasn't got one, rivet a slide bar on to the top of the tailgate, otherwise you'll mackle it on the hitch when you're tipping.

    He can control the chipper remotely from the digger cab. Probably picks up Pornhub as well.

    Polished a lot nicer than my first truck was mate! Looking good.
