Acacia, spiky, difficult to kill, awkward, quite useful in many ways, but smells of piss.

These are photos of paintings though right?

Maybe change the title to ‘making the news two weeks ago’

No, it doesn’t mean another hundred on the price, it’s another hundred on YOUR price. It’s up to the firm if they put the hundred on, swallow it, or get a cheaper guy in.

Whats your multione loader doing today ?
Mick Dempsey replied to digaholedumper's topic in General chat
Had to do a DPF regen this morning (bit naughty on a Sunday I know noise wise) I didn’t realise these Tier 5 engines need to be used a bit and not mollycoddled, only 145 hours on it. Stuck it behind the house for an house with the engine roaring till it had burnt off all the soot in the DPF. Every day is a school day as they say. -
Yes the Avant was able to get everything else close enough, but when it won’t budge and you have a couple of chains, why tear the loader up trying to move it? Here it is doing exactly as you say, difference is, it’s a dead cedar stem, half the weight of a knotty green Douglas stem.

We did, but that particular one was too much for the loader, so we used chains to get it close enough, documented by Dave here.. IMG_2894.MOV

That’s a very decent timber lorry, and an extremely tight fisted owner operator who.. A. Detests breaking anything which will cost him money. B. Leaving any wood at all that he can make money on. C. Paying anything for the wood he collects. Flipside is he will come when he says he will. Here he is getting the biggest lump close enough to load, carefully placing it on the bed of the truck, then moving the grab into the COG to get it up in the air (not recorded) Me pacing around anxiously worrying about fixing broken concrete posts etc. IMG_2891.MOV

Today was day 3, just raking up and ensuring the timber lorry got loaded ok. Day 1, stripped and chipped 4 of the 7. Day 2, did the other 3, felled the butts.

I’m sure that’s the case. I was making 220k a year (yesterday) Today it’s 27k a year.

Don’t let the lads wank off the customer’s Labrador and make an Instagram story of it. No matter how tastefully it’s done. -
Put some orange tape on the handle?

Who knows? Eucs are native to the other side of the world, so not surprising if they turn up their toes over winter. looks like a reasonable reduction. Don’t give them a discount on the fell and grind!

Wisteria, some advice needed.

Really starting to make progress across the front now.

You’re not kidding about the Lab!

You could try one of these, much more comfortable for the dog, she won’t be bumping into things either.

You, on the other hand, gorgeous.

I believe the modern thinking is to cut exactly in line with your bottom cut, you can nip the sides as well on bigger pieces. It’s all species/weight/power of saw/ dependent of course

Water sitting in the cavity of a tree can stop rot as the fungi can’t spread in an anaerobic environment (or something like that) anyway, put up a pic.
