  6. Is that a tree shear on the harvester mate, if so how did it do?
  7. i am with skyhuck on this one, 100 quid in tescos in money well spent. It is a goodwill gesture. thats my job tomorrow. First stop the local factoring agency, then the cafe(buzz you know how good that cafe is) then make my way home via my good friend the accountant with a bottle of malt.
  8. This is my view of Arran, We call the right hand of the mountain range 'the sleeping warrior'
  9. nice one mate, but also tell them the ash is dangerous and will cost twice that of the birch. Forget my first post:001_tongue:
  10. I very rarely use the mog off road, it is just such a good compact unit. Where i live it is like the side of a mountain, with loads of small streets and cul de sacs. I used to spend all my time taking the to behind off and turning it round by hand, or getting stuck on a grass verge with the double wheels with the transit. If i had a full load and chipper, the van would be screaming all the time and i would have to take the long way home avoiding hills. The fuel saving paid my finance. And having a big winch is excellent. and a descent size chipper.
  11. truly amazing, i sometimes take for granted how lucky i am. I am going to turn this computer off and go and play with my son.
  12. always got as many as i wanted for free.
  13. u1200 unimog with a tp 200 chipper. narrower than a narrow thing, loads of gears so you can reverse up a mountain. No more snaking about with toe behind chippers. side tip, no more taking off the chipper. if you think the chipbox is to small get a 1250.
  14. sorry mate, i couldnt understand a word you were saying. it must be your funny accent:001_tongue:
  15. I think the mistake is on your part, i have done the same myself. put it down to experience. Although i would phone them and tell them the reasons why it wasnt done today, you never know they might pay you. Explain that this time you wont charge them but in the future you will, To someone sitting in an office, a tree is a tree. I used to rehearse all the possibilities in my head about the conversation, get myself really worked up and stressed. But it was just my own anxiety. They have obviously chosen you as the contractor for good reason. Pick up the phone and make the call. Even if you dont get the 140, you will feel a lot better mate. take it from me. You dont want to go to bed tonight worrying about it or being angry, that only leeds to stress and depression. I have been there.
  16. a scottish pussy:001_smile:
  17. file the rakeres well down and bore into a tree. good vibrations my friend:001_tongue:
  18. last one, then i better go out with missus for the night.
