    I had to unload 50k of Multione loader from the back of an articulated lorry onto an Ifor Williams trailer then off that onto terra firma. So I was driving it into space (well 5ft off the ground) Did not like,. The issue of course is ensuring the ramps didn’t move when I edged the machine onto them, once firmly on them it was ok.

    Looking at the moss at the junction I’d bet it’d be more likely to fail where I arrowed.

    I’d say that’s a wound from a vehicle(s)that has hit it in the past. It’s an old cherry tree, impossible to say when or if the branch will fail, but I agree, I’d not want to park a car underneath on a regular basis. Why not get the branch cut off?

    Personally, that’s enough for me. Still blanket coverage on all the telly news channels. There’s other news going on in the world. Funeral is on the 19th we’ll come back to it then.

    Why not just apply to have any reasonable work done on the trees as and when? Explain to your neighbour that you have to apply for permission.
  6. Mick Dempsey
    What your motive? Do you want to remove the trees?

    Well yes, understood. Twitter isn’t really a media outlet, it’s individual posters/tweeters, now no doubt there’s plenty of lies, but sifting through what’s definitively disproven and what is/isn’t denied you can learn a lot.

    Depends who you follow I guess.

    Trying to decipher what I’m reading on Twitter (what to believe or not) the word ‘rout’ is being used a lot. Could be moving into a decisive few days.

    They made a mistake cancelling the footy. Would have been a chance for peeps to show their respect etc. look at what happened this morning before the cricket.

    Seems like a counter offensive by Ukrainian forces is underway and gaining ground fast. We’ll see how far it gets.

    Yes, I had a few issues with the MO, and the dealer (who is the other side of the country) repeatedly let me down, so I found out there’s a dealer for Avant In the next town. So I went for a clean break, bought this, sold the MO Nothing against the MO, just complete breakdown in trust.

    Lovely bit of kit.

    It’s sad, Charles made a great speech, but was there any need to call the football off this weekend? She loved a Saturday afternoon in front of of Sky Sports Saturday with Jeff Stelling! Too far imo.

    That’s fair comment.

    I know this thread will end up in a slanging match. But I don’t think Retired Climber’s comment should really be the starting pistol. I’m sure someone will say something genuinely inflammatory soon enough.

    I looked into it, apathy got the better of me, so I didn’t bother.

    The machine isn’t very good at it if I’m honest, gets tangled up too easily which means getting out and untangling it (see photo) Compared to a proper PTO tractor outfit it’s piss poor. Still, better then strimming with a blade!

    Först seem to have turned the corner a bit reliability wise. I was sorry to read about the thefts on FB as well. Hope you can keep moving forward.

    Flailing brambles, not something I would do commercially, just did it to secure a bigger tree job on the site.
  23. Mick Dempsey
    Why is that?

    I saw a picture of her this morning on the telly, thought she looked very thin.

    You could be right. I thought it might be something rare, never mind.. Thanks.
