    Aspen for me in all my saws, blower etc. Never had a a problem. Like others though, I’m fed up of the 5L drums.I had to take all mine to the recycling point recently….. there was a colossal amount! I was offered the motomix at £400 for 200L, how does that fair up against what other are paying?

    Is that an upgrade or will you be employing another driver, to run two? The plan is to get another operator onboard. But it’s going to take time to get it all in place. The opportunity to buy the second one came up and I couldn’t pass it up in reality. These little things never come up for sale, so to have a back up machine that is dam near identical to mine was to good a chance to miss.

    There is still a plentiful supply of Devon red mud coming off the dam thing!

    Haha! Lesson learned on that one matey!

    Cheers fella!

    I bet the fella I paid to get me through my test will be pissed. He was a grand fella, no nonsense and a big part of his living came from trailer tests. Now he can do something else I suppose, HGV driving perhaps?!

    So, I have two Logbullets now 😎

    😍😍😍😍

    Sounds like you’d need a Logbullet! 😁 Give me a shout if the need ever arises 👍🏻

    Think it’s about £16 per month, so 50p a day. Service has been great from them.

    You need to speak to the boys at Abax! 👍🏻

    Could you not employ a manager of sorts, who took care of the majority of the day to day running? This leaving you with more spare time, but still a viable business running in the background perhaps?

    I’m sure there is a joke in here somewhere 😂

    I'm the baddest man on the planet 😎😂

    I run an 18 on my Mk2, it doesn't even flinch.

    Second vote for battery pole saw here. Streets ahead of the petrol powered counterparts.
  17. IronMike
    Just to chip in my two pence worth..... I have a 555 and it's a brilliant saw. Grunty, reliable and gets on with the job in hand. Run an 18 on it and it's grand. It's the back up for my 550 Mk2.

    Is that a pair of Pandas in the shed behind?

    I guess it’s now part of the modern day game. Some teams do it better than others though! I reckon Denmark were the first decent team we’ve come up against in the tournament. Germany couldn’t be bothered and didn’t pose anywhere near as big a threat as you’d expect. Italy will be a different game entirely. Need to make sure we don’t end up getting someone sent off!

    Agreed Mick. He is rapid! Thought on balance we deserved the win, but fair play to Denmark who have been excellent all tournament. After watching the Spain and Italy match on Tuesday, I fear we are going to endure 90 minutes minimum of the Italians falling down when the breeze changes. In last nights match I thought England were bad enough at it….. Denmark certainly didn’t go to ground like we did. The air will be blue in my house if they start tumbling down like a snipers got them, makes my piss boil.

    Was this on site, on that steep banking job over the otherside of the A19 that time?
  22. IronMike
    I reckon this has come out exactly as the customer wanted 🤦🏽‍♂️

    @Gray githas one on his Bandit. Its an absolute beast of a thing.

    Little update! Mega busy at Low Impact Forestry these days. Variety of work, but predominantly Ash extraction due to ADB works. Working for the Woodland Trust on some beautiful sites where access is tight, and preservation of ambience etc is paramount over production. Been tidying up after other contractors mainly for them, but hopefully starting some sites soon where we will be doing felling and extraction. Had a few breakdowns too (machine that is, not me but its been close a few times!) But overall the machine is going great. Nearly 1100 hours now and 26 months of ownership.

    I'm a big Instagram supporter. I've had thousands of pounds of work from it. And it's free, what more can you ask for?
