I’m English Mick, so all good here!

We regularly remove single trees for 5-6k (NZ) starting one today actually. Should take two days for 3 guys, 12” bandit and 5t excavator.

Removing a couple of dead lime trees and a dead Beech tree. The hiab makes light work of moving timber.

A nice job lifting and reducing away from powerlines an avenue of oak trees

Not sure about the hight now- will pop back and see what it looks like. I think they can grow up to 6 meters here (I may be wrong)

Spotted this whilst going to the post office. Not sure how practical it would be but it looks awesome!

It's awesome- a great place to work and bring up kids.

Our 5.5t Doosan feeding our new 12" Bandit

Our 1995 NZ new hilux- bought 8 years ago when i first got here. She's done over 250000 km and still going strong. It's true what they say about them!

First job for the year- just a wee storm damaged willow tree. The guys aren't back til the 9th so I went and did it myself (the mrs supervising in the ute) We'll be back next week to tidy it up. What are people's thoughts about working alone?

Can't you just cut them up with a saw?

A lady decided to give herself a big treat for her 90th birthday by staying overnight in a really nice luxurious hotel.. When she checked out the next morning, the desk clerk handed her a bill for $250.00. She demanded to know why the charge was so high "I agree it's a nice hotel, but the rooms aren't worth $250..00 for just an overnight stay - I didn't even have breakfast!" The clerk told her that $250.00 is the 'standard rate,' and breakfast had been included had she wanted it. She insisted on speaking to the Manager. The Manager appeared and, forewarned by the desk clerk, announced: "This hotel has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference center which are available for use." "But I didn't use them." ''Well, they are here, and you could have." He went on to explain that she could also have seen one of the in-hotel shows for which they were so famous. "We have the best entertainers from all over the world performing here." "But I didn't go to any of those shows.." She Pleaded. "Well, we have them, and you could have." was the reply. No matter what amenity the Manager mentioned, she replied, "But I didn't use it!" and the Manager countered with his standard response. After several minutes discussion, and with the Manager still unmoved, she decided to pay, wrote a check and gave it to him. The Manager was surprised when he looked at the check. "But Madam, this check is for only $50.00" "That's correct" she replied "I charged you $200.00 for sleeping with me." "But I didn't sleep with you madam!" said the manager "Well, too bad, I was here, and you could have."!!

The coach is Australian and six of the players are Kiwi.... Not sure how that works

Our bandit is 3 years old- less than 550 hours on the clock. At the moment it's either at the engineers or mechanics every week.
