Fantastic, I know how much work that must of saved. Looks like the crane was out of reach on the last 1, did he have to swing you onto it or did a Groundie pull you in with your rope 😀 -
If the wind stop blowing you would all fall over on the east coast mate! Loads more snow here in the last 24 hours but Suns poking through inbetween.

Is there a grab on that machine?
-
get them if you need them, simples.

If i worked in the city i would have a 7.5 tonner and the new 8" lightweight timberwolf. Chip all day without leaving site and have a nice comfy seat home. 7.5 tonners are buttons, the fuel saving alone compared to multiple runs with a 3.5 tonner falling apart struggling all day overloaded.

Does the course teach climbing and cutting? What's your experience in tree work?

No I've never seen the manual for my machine! I jack it up, if it looks like it shouldn't depending on where I'm working, something inside my head says to give it a bit of a pump of grease or not.

thanks Eddie, its happened twice in 14 months so not something i am tooconcerned about tbh.
-
i thought it was stones and sticks getting inbetween the tracks that knocked them off. I now just pump some grease in to keep them tight if i have been doing any distance tracking.

cats are best around farms! They go and do their own thing, i wouldnt want a dog roaming about, it will end up trapped or under the wheels of something. -
Rubber tracks here. Tracks do come off, always in awkward situations!
-
looking good, you know if you ever get fed up with the dumper who to call! no regrets on digger here Eddie, the grab caught some folks eye a few weeks back and she is now working removing a large area of timber decking!

If its a farm thats going to run like a farm then best get a farmer. He will then sort any tree problems with a Jcb Loadal a boiler suit and a big Dolmar chainsaw. -
If you carry a saw or drive a machine we are all in the same team guys.
