Weren’t they taken and shot in a field with the others?

Thing is, you’re not really off duty if someone is at your clients, using your machinery with your reputation at stake. What happens if they hit underground services, break down or the client is unhappy with the finish? Give yourself at least one day totally free of the job.

I used to stump grind my jobs on a Saturday (when I was in the UK) do 4 or 5 jobs of trees I’d cut during the week. Easy work, lots of cash.

Just take the weekend off.

Best we ever got was 100mph up Rudgwick high street in a rover 3.5 P6. Easier up the hill than down as stopping would have been an issue!

Ps, The ‘backbone’ never really caught on did it?

Quite pleased with this. 6 steel screw gate steel krabs for €6.50 each from a local agricultural dealer. Zipline worthy.

Seen a couple of fields of it out here as it goes.

Is Stafford in Staffordshire?

Wet, windy and cool in SW France. Normally we’re sweltering in the mid thirties at this time. Coolest wettest summer I can remember since coming here in 2005.

Good. Why has that been planted en masse like that?

Solenoids over hemorrhoids.

Maybe make it removable, just lift it out every time you chip, then reattach with a couple of split pins or whatever for rigidity when driving.

Why is this a big deal? I get all sorts of emails and assorted from companies that have my contact details, so what?

Passed my test in 82 or 83. Used to thrash the arse out of our cars here there and everywhere. Motoring for pleasure is finished, cameras everywhere, in car computers will probably dob you in soon, new cars already nag the bollocks off you about tyre pressure, seatbelts, and anything else. Get used to it, like it or not.

Already repaired and back at work Bin Dipper. Thanks anyway.

Watching a video of one on YT, he’s full extension with a grading bucket of sand, looks pretty stable. Igor Piekruz, have you seen it?
-
Are you sure that was the original set up? Not just a tracked loader unit dropped on a wheeled chassis of some sort.
-
What equipment do you have, loaders, chippers etc.?
-
Agreed, there are so many variables. I remember reducing an oak in high winds. I had to stop, not because it felt dangerous, but because the bits I cut were ending up two gardens away! Wouldn’t contemplate climbing a Lombardy in the same conditions.

Mechanised Flail / hedgecutting cost- how do you charge
Mick Dempsey replied to Jamie edwards's topic in Business Management
Be very sure the Avant will do the job before forking out. My suspicion is that it won’t have the grunt to flail down stuff that thick. -
@Conor Wright where is this please?
