    horrible,horrible horrible. i bet the pics dont do it justice. good job mate. i had a nutty customer today, spent an hour shaping a cherry tree, in full bud of course. it looked ok, it was a salvage job after someone had cut all the branches off up to about 12 feet. then she made me pole prune the life out it, because she didnt like certain branches, i finally asked her if i could just fell it, then she replied how much she loved the tree. i was too peeved off to take a picture, but bart simpsom comes to mind. thankfully it was in a back garden.

    447 miles from largs, 7 hrs 15mins. any airports close. that would be easier.

    whens that show? dont mind a wee drive, have never got drunk at a show before, never trusted myself. probably fell the climbing poles or steal a harvester lol but it would be good to be part of the crowd.

    hi alisdair, when looking for work, i see it no different if you own your own business or are looking for a job, its all the same. you have to make as good a package as poss for the person who is giving you money. if i were you, i would go to the job shop and look into apprenticeships, do all the research and try and get something from them. if you did this then you could offer a lot more to an employer ie free/cheap labour. things are really tight in our area just now, the only work that is being done is council stuff before the year end. there are just too many at it imo. big companies will drop you the minute work dries up and small ones dont want to commit. it took me years to get into this game round here, i had to go to glasgow for a start, and i lied to get that job. good luck.

    a big fendt will torpedo a 30 foot larch under the cab, watch out. oh and i have seen a 6" by 10" log driven straight through a tyre. but awesome machines in the right hands:001_smile:

    i think a limb has been removed at some point, after that it is beyond me.

    i have a tp 250(pto)it can only be operated from the one side(safely)due to the forward/reverse lever. and taking the feed roller springs off when jammed up are a nightmare, a 2 prong gizmo lever that could be attached would be good thing, rather than pull cord and a crowbar.
