Vermin. They are eating that grass alive. -
I’m pretty sure my grandparents ate one once.
-
They must have had Rolo’s Mick, and Toblerones. They’ve been around for ages.

Just plan your journeys so you don’t have to turn right anywhere, problem solved.

Me too mate, in 20 years. It’s a poor thing that I can’t go for a new truck like my current one that would see me out.
-
I reckon you semi-joke Con, but I’m with you. Mine’s an 06 with 110k miles. Very, very few issues considering how hard it’s worked. What do we do when they die? Literally every alternative is worse than a 20 year old truck.

Sort of. I screwed up and missed out on camping tickets, so will probably be ‘rough sleeping’ in my Fiesta!

I’ll be up there at some point Beau, and will come and find you. Be good to meet up at last!

It will be a standard situation all the time you agree to do shit work for idiots.

Felling license required yes or no ?

What’s 8” between friends, eh? -
Just because you had to climb on 14mm doesn’t mean I have to, fatty!

Because I hadn’t thought of it! Good shout Will, I will do next time.

Towball just quicker to chuck a butterfly on. Only a little limb, not a lot of pressure on the knot, so easy to untie. Capstan would be better if it really needed some grunt.

Taking two pops down today on the local sports field. Had to take the kids. Connie using the loader to good effect ripping out a limb that was wedged in some hawthorns. IMG_6938.MOV

It’s working for clueless tightarses who can’t be arsed to maintain their hedges properly is what it is.
-
Yep, that’s why I stopped doing them.

Truth. When I used to do conny ‘hedge’ reductions (with a 200), I’d always wear work clothes to price them, so I could have a clamber up and see what I was up against. I refuse to do them now. Hedges that are just beyond hedgecutter capability are a bloody nightmare. As Steve says, height isn’t the issue, width is. Price high and hope someone else gets it is the way forward.

OCS are cracking live. I reckon Tubeway Army’s ‘Are Friends Electric?’ would make a good protest song these days.

Exactly that Alex.

I have the Klou grab on mine and can’t fault it. Went for the hitch and capstan as well, as demo’d in this vid. The free rotation is great for dragging brash. They are pricey, and I do need to get a bucket as well at some point. IMG_6293.MOV

Maybe free was the wrong word, but a pittance on to the cost of a £500k investment. With the benefit of then not having a £3k leccy bill every year.
