Does anyone know a leaf picker? Something to pull behind a tractor or kubota, either PTO or generator? Needs to be an industrial one rather than the B&Q specials you see Cheers

Thanks for that chief. I always really liked the look, but alas I tend to think people would see it as pretentious on a Englishman, but I think an upper arm/back thing would be cool. Thanks for think link, their work looks sick Sam

Jammy bar steward. They are expensive,ish. But £40 over 15-25 years? Its not much is it?

Munties will get in. Get a man with a rifle in and do a proper cull. If you have munties hit them hard and often, but get someone who knows deer. Hares will eat bluebells too.

Oo er. I wish I could afford one.

My old man is an estate manager. He will pay a painter £120 a day, thats about average for him. And yet on here, there is lads with 10+ years on the tools, with their own kit, who are charging the same. I think we are all mad. I'm not a nibbler, I'm forestry trained. But I've done a bit of arb work. And I fail to see where some climbers get their "holier than thou" attitudes from. Your job does not involve that much more than groundwork. But there you go, maybe its the "macho" image some that attracts a certain type of sherman tanker to the game. But I doubt that lot are the best climbers. But hey ho, as an industry we are over worked and underpaid. And unless we all use a market forces approach, we won't change it .

This is correct. Why bother nibbling at 'em when you can knock 'em over -
I'll send an email tomorrow with CV attached. Could be just the job I'm after! Cheers chief, Sam

Cheers for that... got me thinking now! I wouldn't worry about the cold, I'm from "The North"

First time mate. I've had the training at college, but because the admin is something that rhymes with "tank" I didn't get to do it before I left. So I had to outsource it elsewhere.
