  1. What is the purpose of what you’re doing there?
  2. He got to the tree at nearly 4 o’clock, so had made a few quid already.
  3. I’m sort of visualizing when I worked for a firm in south London in the mid 90s The gang I was with would eagerly pounce on this sort of thing when the boss wasn’t there to supplement their wages.
  4. I strongly suspect that Mr Rounds has built this up over a number of years. I think he sold August Hunicke his old crane, which probably paid for the down payment on some new stuff. We all know how it works. He uses the crane for construction as well according to his shirt, so not just tree work.
  5. Oh right, I misunderstood. Bump up the figure I gave you then.
  6. Maybe it happened a lot, but you never knew about it. The trees were gone after all.
  7. Depends what he’s charging. 250k for one of those Merlos? You’ll never save that, or if you did you’d be 70 years old. Borrow the money, charge appropriately, pay it off or sell it later on.
  8. Groan..
  9. Great vid. Impressive outfit.
  10. Well, not many, three or four over the course of my life. But I get real life and videos on the internet mixed up a lot. We had a Rough Collie and that was thick as shit.
  11. Almost every Border Collie I’ve known is super smart.
  12. Seems to me that this encourages people to fell trees as a safety measure BEFORE putting in planning.
  13. It is 15 minutes work max.
  14. What’s stopping him from cutting the trees down? (serious question)
  15. Very small load. It’ll have to be sorted carefully as there’s a few bits of fence with nails in amongst it. Price wise, if you can open those gates and if you can nab someone working nearby in a good mood, £60 in cash would probably swing it.
  16. It’s not any easy one to get a grip on that’s for sure.
  17. Saw that, not bad. Worth a look.
  18. You didn’t need a tipper in both of those photos.
  19. Looks like it to me.
  20. I see Oliver Dowden resigned, the drain circling is getting faster and faster. Tory voters have always voted Lib rather than Labour to protest If the Tories got someone else they’d likely switch back.
  21. Whatever she was trying, it failed. To be fair Dan Walker and Andrew Neil did a reasonable job of questioning him. Some of the others were pitiful.
  22. Yes (Mick Lynch) has been pretty good, the Piers Morgan thing is toe curling. Kay Burley there should be sacked for stupidity.
  23. Yes, restarting is a bit less reliable than the 201.
  24. Thé exhaust from the engine, they route it so it comes out of the chute that the chips fly out of.
  25. I bloody told you!
