Well done!

Good tip with the positioning of the sling, I just put it to where I feel it should go but that's worth remembering .

Depending on the direction of your pto shaft then either TP or ducker. Ducker have the reverse gearbox.

Well done, take control of your life! Set yourself free. I was in that position 3 years ago , when it was me and my guys, bliss! Bring in made up management! 6 months of itching and heartburn plus paranoia!!! Well you know the rest! Enjoy your new life mate!

I could watch those guys work all day! Knew a guy who not that long ago who used to collect timber that way, a boat hand winch on the front and some pulleys and ramps! I'm sure the trailer is still in good working order on 3 axles if anyone fancies it -

£4K on a new engine, gearbox and clutch for a Mog . £3750 for a new brain for a valmet 8950. Best vehicle loss was £20k in a year on a Iveco Daily 4x4 .

Good attitude! Skill you can teach, the first is the parent, guardian or care givers job.

What spikes are you wearing? Anything with leather can rub badly, especially when wet. I've been on alloy geckos with hard legs, loads of padding with Velcro straps for about 6 years. They are like your Sunday slippers compared to bashlins.

I climb on spikes and descend on Prussik.

No contract, just do the odd job for them.

Damaged a hose on the grab taking a tantrum with a little spruce tree today! I carry spares so 20 mins and I was back at it Exhaust fell off the Mog today at the silencer, so we got gassed chipping! On the search for some 4" flexy in the morning

It got a pat down with the ditching bucket after that picture! The turfs fell apart when lifting most of them, the grass was poor due to bad drainage, hence the job. They weren't expecting grass on the back, so it will grow and look OK from. Whine a wall looking the other way this time next year

Great idea! Shaped up my bank and turfed with demo grab yesterday

My goretex Swazi jacket has kept me dry for 11 years now! Kept me dry today, it's a long smok, so air in the bottom, no sweat. All good

I shake mine about and put on the choke just to get a little longer out them, if I don't manage to finish a cut, I feel like a failure and the saw has won!!!!!
