    Had my 50th yesterday. Recovering from a weekend of drink and great party at home with family and mates. Still feel 21 years old with 29 years more experience. But will be leaving the big takedowns to my younger, more athletic climbing mates. Cheers!

    Andy, just to justify your obs, I've just finished taking down a 50ft euc. Dark brown leaves, they just fall off as you touch them and the base plate had gone as well. I think it's the heavy frosts that have killed them.

    Thanks for all the advice guys. The pampas grass was 100 yards from my house at a neighbours. He has a slipped disc and can't dig or pull. Quoted him £50 to do the deed. Started at 6pm and finished,at 7,30pm. He was so impressed that he gave me £100 cash and asked me back next week to crown lift 2 silver birch trees. Great job and great advice. Put rope round bush, cut through at root level. Then laughed for 5 minutes as I couldn't drag the sod into my trailer. He then laughed at me, cursing as I split it into bits to get into trailer then spent 40 minutes digging all the root ball out. Then said never mind about the bits, I'll clear up, you get yourself home. What a great bloke!!

    I have a job to remove a 10ft Pampass Grass. Quite a big one. Problem is the stuff just blocks my chipper. Does anyone have any experience of removing these including rootball. Cannot stump grind as it's planted right next to a services manhole. Can they be dug out easily?

    Dave, what about chantler Timber? Use their haulier direct. Otherwise you could try Tree Medic in Congleton. He has a tractor and forwarder John

    Took me and a mate 10 solid days to log 26 tons of oak and ash. They have 26 tons which is about 60 cube so charge them your day rate:thumbup1:

    I'm 50 on the 26th, so that makes me a half century. Added bonus of 1 grand-daughter and another on the way. You're right about the climbing though, it sometimes feels like being an old tractor engine, takes me a while to warm up, but once I'm up there, I'm flying!!

    Not sure, I think not the oldest.

    You're not alone. A mate of mine has been losing jobs to him.

    Let me know about the Sycamore, if you are taking it down on a weekend I could come over and help. As long as it's not the 24th April

    That's 62 cube steve. I don't use pallets they are laid on hard standing underneath all that sawdust. The yard is on the top of a slope so all the wet ground just drains away. Have had no problems with damp condensation. Just need to start marketing them now ready for the big rush!!
