Actually the very first tree was cutting trees with a knife when I was 5 or so but I cut them so high so it was folks complaining. But I was trying to make a cut in it so it would fall in the direction I wanted.

First time was with a husqvarna 140 the tree was a birch tree quite some size, fell it, cut it to 3 metre length, load it on the tractor wagon, cut them to 500mm length, split them, and store it. I was 12 year old and since that day I worked every day in my step dads forest till I was 18 and had to take a break from it due to military service for 15 months. Last thing I did before moving to scotland was to thin out young forest population in his forest, I miss it a lot. He have a lot of forest

It is so easy to forget gear behind, so I have a routine of walking back and forward twice. The company needs to train the employees in this. This blame carry on is not a good way forward, it creates negative vibes.

I do not believe in punishment, let himself be the judge of himself, and if he won't change you will know you are to blame for poor judgment when employing.

It works, actually works really well. Mix it with a determination and a natural born never give up attitude and it's a win. Folks might think it's over the top, well it might be but it feels good for me. And if it make any sense, it's a natural high constantly.

Amazing and inspiring, thanks for taking your time and sharing your experience, really brightened me up.

Inspiring reading, I recognise myself in it. The dream of house with a lot of land to it is about to be real where indeed something very good and special is about to happen. Brick by brick, having a look on a few places this weekend. The ideas have no limits, the arb market booming, good thoughts, realistic pricing, on time always, realising what doors to close and what doors to open. I jumped in to this market with joy, didn't have my pricing set to a realistic level, did the homework times 100, study what Leeds to success, followed it, and by god it's good. I noticed a common mindset in the arb business, and it was the feel of no profit, the idea that seems to have spread out in all four corners of work hard with little money. This ideas is false. The arb trade got good teeth and fantastic skills. I'm about to expand, need to get the app for this for my phone, there will be no more time to waste in front of an iPad anymore. Good luck out there guys

Positive thinking is the key the secret if you so wish, and the mud crawlers in this thread that felt the need to dip in the misfortunes they feel to this they know it to. It's a no brainer, as always when humanity got two options there will be two opinions, one is true the other is false.

Must say this thread been brilliant and very giving, been a joy to read all the comments.. I don't know if it is the universal power of positively or what it could be but I been totally bombarded with stump grinding jobs today, I'm so happy that I can soon get a second machine a predator 75. I have the quote there ready to press buy soon. Tomorrow morning is a big day for me and my step daughter, she is finally getting her cancer operated away, and it have not spread to other parts of her body. Such a bless ! She been such a star during this emotional time of our life. Life is to short to spend it on negativity

Could say that positive thinking is a mental and emotional attitude focusing on the bright side, and expects positive results. Believe I can overcome any difficulty, I do understand positive thinking is not accepted by everyone. Some consider it as pure nonsense, and flame at people following it, but i'm delighted to see there is a growing number of people understanding it's effectiveness. To get the benefits of it you just need to adopt the positive thinking in everything you do. The chain effect from Positive thinking is indeed impressive.

Yes that is the secret, and it's so powerful.

Exiting to read all the comments, with positivity comes opportunity it's a fabulous chain reaction. And it's there for us to tap in to and enjoy. Have a great day in the sun folks if you live in Britain, the summer arrived

Great to see there is a lot of you out there knowing that positive thinking brings success. It's stronger then titanium!

hello folks I take this opportunity to pass on my view on success. To achieve your goals and become the best you can be, there is only one way in my opinion. Good positive thoughts, and visualise your self as success. It changed my life, and it could change yours.

Here is a few more from todays work

Well for me it is like this I don't have any football or any other sport things i'm involved in, there is just work and that's about it. I much more prefer to see my machine approaching a tree stump ready to mess it up compared to sit and see sport on tv or putting on bets. Fiance goes a little fed up on me sometimes, so then i take her out on a lunch and doing my very best not talking about work. Sometimes i slip and mention a tree stump or a tree removal. It is strange when you like the work so much, that i do know the body is very very tired, but to stop is not an option. I know from military in Sweden that when you think you are tired you just reached perhaps 5% of your total power. I read your post Silky a very long thread, read every single post there it was really uplifting and very positive. And that is what makes the world spin positive thinking.

Sorry about her there not using hard hat safety glasses, she normally use it all the time due to i do not let her off with it, but the grinder was loaded on the van at the time so no dangers of flying stones or what have you.

Here is a few more from today, just in and I am tired in a pleasant way, I am going to keep bringing a back pack to keep food in, yet again i never came around to bring myself back to the van to eat that tuna / bread i got at the petrol station.

Well since I was very little I liked tracked things, I be honest would not matter if it was a digger machine or a stump grinder, I like the two very good, I learned driving diggers the very first time in a 28 ton digger, suppose normal would be starting with a 1.5 ton machine, but all I had there and then was a 28 ton digger. And I so liked it !! My idea is to create my dream with tracked machines of all kinds, not just stump grinders, but anything goes on tracks. There is something special when the machine goes forward and the tracks goes over the uneven ground. Even driving to places to see if it could do it or not. I will never in my life get enough of this, this is my destiny it what I was born to do, and it's such a joy I wish you could experience it. The only sad thing with this is when the work day is over.
