    Gutted.

    Some people are so disolusioned,how a man who indiscriminatly runs around hurting inocent people can be a hero is beyond me!
  2. Great pics & storyline!
  3. Thats fun,looks good.
  4. You might find a good local arborist climber prepared to clean a path up the tree,I would think a pulley setup for the ascent,set high enough above the seat to allow easy horizontal movement into the seat,with a secondary prussiced system to enable the horizontal move into the seat,not too complicated to do. I would think about the implications of leaving this rig in the tree regards the ropes becoming weathered,and third party interference when you are not there. What area are you in?
  5. Thats a brill resource,thank you to all involved!
  6. Thats a top notch setup you have there!

    New chip box.

    Looks realy good!
  8. I bet the blade sharpen will sort it,if they are BLUNT the rolers will just skip and chew the timber,least ways get the blades sharpened / changed and see how you go. I have seen this with badly dull cutting blades on the tw 125 and 150. If that doesn't sort it change the springs & grease the slider carriage and rolers.
  9. Nice looking horse you have there,I miss working with them.

    Which one?????

    Landy would be my choice,get a good one & stay on top of you maintenance,if you don't go of road the cabstars are good.
  11. Thats a sweet thing,nice!
  12. Reakon huck got it right,the winter was hard on some less frost tolerant youg trees.
  13. It is true that many of the traditional and rural jobs have gone to the machine,but there are a lot of jobs that have been created by this massive (in comparison to old times) infrastructure so many live in,modern society/towns. Example,in victorian times they threw their houshold litter & 'night soil' into holes dug for the purpose,or scattered it on the fields.We produce far greater amounts of rubbish,and there is a massive industry in it's disposal & procesing.
  14. Ouch ! look after it,the bleeding will help the initial clean .
  15. Heres one that had to go,and an after pic,sorry to err from thread a bit!
  16. Honestly Liam,thats NOT ME !!
  17. Heres a little wingnut,the only one of four we could save,the rest had to be removed as deemed a hazard to playground. had to get this one out of the coms wire,and raise it to keep the kids from playing tarzan,there was a fair bit of dead in this,and I dont think its going to last more than a couple of years,compaction,canker etc.
  18. Supersonic mate,nice job!
  19. She's a handy old tool with a 3 in 1 bucket.
  20. I'm easy going with clients dragging out payment,but plain trying to bluff their way out of it, as this lady seems to be after, is despicable.
  21. Well done on your tickets,try & get some practice climbs in to build your ability,take work as a groundy with a mind to develop yourself.

    Holy Moly!

    :laugh1:
  23. What he said,in my experience.
  24. Good no one hurt there,hope you get it all sorted ok,that's a harsh thing to have happen.
