just as i thought i was finished for the day, i got a call from my mate who was sent out to retrieve a stolen jeep, but it was down an overgrown track and jammed down a banking of an old quarry. what an advert for navara if you had seen where it went and how it ended up where it was:ohmy:but even better for the mog:001_cool:

the geckos will come into their own there dave. green elm is heavy and a pain to chip. but tod and the crane can worry about that eh:001_cool:

looks like you were at the underside of the tree when felling the middle stem out, never seen that before. i always like to be at the topside, much safer imo. looked proper dead. hard as hell usually but yet still chewy.

the jet went down across the water from us. sad sad news. thoughts to the families of these heros

it all depends on how you set them up and how you utilise and maintain them. a silky handsaw can seem overkill on some jobs and a you can sometimes run out of grunt with a 500bhp mulcher. there is no perfect tool. some folk can make things work for them others cant or dont want to take the jump out of thier comfort zone. i know a guy with over 20 mogs of various sizes and applications. he also runs almost every bit of kit you can think of and some you wouldnt imagine. he has pioneered the arb and rail industry for his 'i can do it attitude'. only in this country are folk slated for doing well and laughed at for failing. good on the landscaper who can run a 100k piece of kit for watering plants in a country that rains almost every day:001_cool:

it is media hyped, especially with the name it has been given, but a young mum and baby died of it not far from me. very sad indeed. like most things, if you are strong and healthy you will be ok, but the frail and weak will suffer.

it looks like beechesknackerdis to me mike, very common in Norway. there was a scurge of kiwi tree cutting a few years back if my memory serves me right:001_smile:

i have had tp's for 7 years. excellent chippers, well thought out and simple to change blades and grease. also have a schiesling. superb build quality and pull in power. looked at a 18 inch vermeer to-behind at the AA, looked really good, and a very reasonable price. veryyyyyyyyyy tempted to get one.
