My father always says, " if you've got your health, you've got it all" and he's right, without a doubt.

Joshs Sweden thread . . and a bit or Norway
cousin jack replied to josharb87's topic in Picture Forum
Great pics Josh, looks like the sort of place i would like. -
Yep, I do have a great life, but I bet I'll die poor

This is Apollo, my new addition, he is a 4yr old Ardennes stallion, hopefully he's going to put his unka majunka, (that bit of apparatus that he's showing off) to good use and provide me with the next generation of logging horses We've been getting him started quietly, he will get a bit bigger yet, I think he's going to be quite a lad when he stops growing, he seems to relish pulling, so looking forward to be able to work a pair in the near future.

Don't get me wrong, I agree with you on that score, If you live by the sword, be prepared to die by it. But I wonder how his wife and daughter feel now that they've become a soft target for any extremist out there, thats the bit I was getting at.

No problems, just pm or email anytime Seems like we might be there even longer, Tillhill are instructing the feller to take more softwood and non native broadleaves out, so ongoing for the time being.

Great shooting, but I'm not too sure I would want my name and the area in which I live plastered all over the national press.

You want "prop forwards" for logging, thick set, low centre of gravity, shires are like " second row forwards", too long in the leg and top heavy, and they eat more than a smaller horse. You would be amazed at what a pair of Shetland ponies would pull.

There are two horses working here, on average, 80/100 tons a week. Extraction distance anything from 30yds to 150yds. Felling stops at the end of this week I believe, so then just us to clear up.
-
As above, this will slow them down big style

Yo Ian, like your avatar, here's ours

Nice pics Plippy, I'm just glad I don't have all that brass to polish Just to clear up something I said about the feller, (someone thought I might have been having a dig at him), not so! What I meant was, he is cracking on at a rate of knots, and we have to extract everything he fells, so that's why we will be there for a while yet. He's a top bloke, name of Pete from Stoke way.

Yo! Thanks Hamadryad

Great pictures Katie, and thanks for your company. I have to say everyone, that Katie is not your average tree person, 1, she is very pretty, and 2, she is very intelligent, so that beats Saw Sick Steve on both counts Mozza, you're welcome anytime, the way the feller is going at it, we will be on this job for a few more weeks yet. Bareroots, horses are at their best on steep ground, pm your telephone number and I'll put you in contact with someone from Witherslack who will be able to do the job, all the best, CJ

Stihl clear, with auto fill spouts for me.

Any one have an L200 and what are your thoughts
cousin jack replied to Leyburn Lad's topic in General chat
I've had mine from new, 120,000 on the clock, nothing except servicing to pay for, touch wood. -

If it goes to court the only winners will be the solicitors, sorry to hear about your father.

I knew there'd be a comment from you Just going off thread here, but I see from their results Redruth don't want promotion this season
-
I'll try that tonight, thanks.
-
Me to, their seems to be an awful lot of people brought up to speed very quickly thanks to the kindness of others, but if the said retiree set up on my doorstep I would like him to learn from the school of hard knocks, if i had half the help some seem to get nowadays, I'd be retired as well!

Brilliant, bloody brilliant!

Don't worry brother, I'll be going like the proverbial off the shovel to get finished in time, I had another call about 4.30 " I rang a few weeks back to enquire about some logs, I'd like a load please", me "yes, is Tuesday ok", customer "tomorrow would be better for me", aghhhhhhh noooooooooooo", I managed to talk him into a Monday afternoon slot. Phew!
