  1. Nearly choked on my pancake and can hardly type for tears!! Ha ha ha.
  2. Any pics? You don't want to get hit, that's the main goal as you know. If you can bounce the cable off a pulley so man and machine are out the way that helps . Usually steady as you go with an escape plan. All depends on kit and ground I'd say. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  3. Involve them in everything from carrying in the food and kit, gathering wood, cooking, tidy up and a huge game of manhunt, because that's what it always ends up as! Good luck Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  4. Depends on how good the guys and kit are, also terrain and size of timber. The bigger the risk to man and machine, the more I charge. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  5. Chris that looked horrible on an enduro! I hate in the woods unless on the trials bike! Always end up hurt or breaking something, or both! So I avoid if possible.
  6. Looks good. From what I've seen of screw type splitters the force is emmense and there usually needs to be a lot more re-in forcing done at the attachment point. I know the bobcat skid steer is just a lip and a couple of pins. What's your thoughts?
  7. Nice 1! My old u900 used to have 1 before I owned it. I've seen pictures of it, looked great. I'm sure it had a fold up back actor aswell.
  8. Birch are here on planet earth to grow quick and rot and die even quicker to give nutrients for other life to grow from what I gather. This little Panda has been taken out its natural environment, flown 12k miles across the pond and stuck in a pen in the highlands, I don't think the people behind this are going to be worried about BS whatever it is on pruning. This threads about the Panda, let's stay on track and keep it light hearted and let the thread disappear into the archives of Arbtalk to maybe reappear if its lucky in the future
  9. I have a feeling the OP is talking about top handle saws !
  10. That's brilliant!
  11. Hope he's ok! And his work mates, they are going to be pretty shook up!
  12. That's not a peg! I like to leave them long enough they stop the grab opening!! I only do it as a feller moaned at me once on 1 of my jobs! I had to explain in the wood the tree was worth £4! I'd just done a grand by 2 pm with lots of pegs and a big high stump! And I gave the wood away:)
  13. Found this today ready for some road work, check out the armrest controls !!
  14. Well none of you guys were even close, it was 1 of these little guys:) He was zonked!! How he stayed up there I don't know and it was pretty windy:)
  15. Yes the growth on the branches
  16. Any ideas?
  17. I have no idea what you mean:)
  18. Very nice!
  19. Once a company has got the AA Status how are they monitored/policed to ensure they continue their methods that they proved on the day of the assessment?
  20. They are usually the first ones to ask for logs!
  21. Muck trucks are good for Muck, hense the name ' muck truck ' Tracked barrows are far superior for shifting timber .
