  1. Do-na-hee. Like Mal Donaghy, the footballer.
  2. JD is such a forgettable name. Why not call it Donaghy Forestry?
  3. @nepia why not just leave the water in there as it slows bacterial and fungal growth?
  4. Wordle 1,158 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟨 ⬜🟩🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Nice work Doug, not so effective here.
  5. First day of a nice job, lombardies and pines coming out. Dave @5thelement doing the felling, the lad on the Avant winch and me up the tree. All went well. IMG_1431.mov IMG_1426.mov 347f356a-c8fd-4f0c-899a-277500207aa9.mov

  7. Wordle 1,156 5/6 ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟨⬜🟨 🟩🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 I couldn’t have done much different. Sometimes it’s just luck (or not)
  8. Do you think the media is in the pay of ‘Big Hedge’?
  9. I can see that being a pita. Will they get you to do it this autumn?

  11. Here they come, the ‘afternooners’ with their smug 3s, all relaxed and comfortable. They’ll never understand the thrill of early morning speedwordling at 7am on the toilet, your mind a fuzz, adrenaline pumping through your veins as the wife screams at you to ‘put the bloody iPad down and get out of there!’ We live on the edge, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
  12. Nasty Doug, does it get done every year? The cost must be in closing in on 5 figures. Castlewelwyn like that does not ‘hedge’ too well either. Brown spots incoming!
  13. Wordle 1,154 4/6 ⬜🟩⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟩⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟩⬜⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Steady as she goes.
  14. One thing that doesn’t get discussed is the aftermath (mentally) to Trump after the assasination attempt. The bloke is lying in bed every night thinking about how if he had not turned his head at the last second, they’d be scooping his brains up in a bag. It has to be playing on his mind.
  15. 303cef17-4307-4191-9b12-aef245eb0ed4.mov This one’s from January. But just found it on the phone. laurel hedge to bring back to normal. Used the fixed grab to hold the stems while we cut them, then laid them on rows, switched to the rotator to get them to the chipper. Went well.
  16. So 2kg heavier once you put a bigger bar and chain on the 572? Not inconsiderable. Don’t forget we’re not talking about just carrying, you’re bending over, positioning and manœuvring it all day, doing that with a 572 when a 550 will do the job fine will get old quickly. Since when has storage space been a real consideration?
  17. The difference between a 550 and a 572 is bigger than you think. You wouldn’t want to swing a 572 about all day trimming branches or felling small stuff.
  18. All a cheap saw does is prevent you from buying the right saw. Another vote for a 550 or Stihl 261
  19. Wordle 1,153 4/6 ⬜⬜🟨🟩⬜ 🟨🟨⬜⬜⬜ 🟩⬜⬜🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  20. Maybe. Put her in a for a couple of nights at the worst. 15 months?
  21. I’m sitting watching the bbc news tonight. Some low grade old bag jailed for 15 months for saying bomb the mosques with the adults still inside on the internet, maybe FB, I didn’t catch it. ’seems a little steep’ I say to myself, but hey ho, daft old cow. Next item a bloke who sexually assaults a woman on the tube, get 20 months inside. Now I’m all for putting the actual rioters in the clink, but just putting some racist nonsense on FB shouldn’t get you a comparable sentence to a genuine sexual predator.
  22. I just googled idler wheel kubota v1505 and got a few hits. Around £100.
