Well, you did say you wished they’d use more interesting words.

Whats your multione loader doing today ?
Mick Dempsey replied to digaholedumper's topic in General chat
I believe that is why Avant made it ‘lightweight’ both in actual weight and pulling capacity. They don’t want it to be used for heavy pulls for the reasons you mentioned. It is no match for a proper forestry winch for sure. Heres Avants sales video There’s a hell of a lot of power through the wheels on these machines so for most applications, pulling over back leaners, getting large lumps out of tricky places etc. I can use the machine direct or with a rope or chain. I want it to bring maybe 60 spindly acacia up a steep slope (too steep to drive down safely) to a ‘landing point’ (a mini forestry job) where reversing the Avant with a rope on repeatedly would be….inefficient. It was only 1200 quid all in, light enough to load on the pick up by two blokes, so bringing it to a job doesn’t involve extra trailers or hassle. I will test it later and put a vid up. -

Had a mate coming over for the weekend, vendor had a day off work through bad weather so he brought it down to him. All worked out in the end. -

I wouldn’t worry, looks like you’ve gone in quite tight, so you’ll get a few brown bits. Leylandii can’t be kept at a constant width, they have to get a little bigger every year, till someone goes in too hard and the big brown patches appear.

Good for them.

Parasol pine perhaps?

For my part certainly not now, and probably not at any time in the past.

More of a purple beech, Fagus Sylvatica Purperea, but no matter. I think a light trim could fit your requirements, beech don’t react very well to heavy pruning so a very sympathetic job is in order. You’d still keep the beauty of the tree but it’d be a less overwhelming. Not every climber would be able to do a really top job, this type of work is some of the most difficult work one has to do in trees, so I’d do some research and pick one who really understands the remit.

Not far off.

Yep, rained off here. Furious. Masturbation.

Waste of time, won’t have spoon whittlers on the property!

Oh dear!

I have been quiet, got a few juicy ones waiting for the ground to dry up so I can get the Avant on the ground. Biggest single factor is the weather at the moment. Did a job yesterday clearing a river of trees and stuff, pissed down all morning. By the time we’d finished I couldn’t get the Ranger out of the property (not a garden as such, a grassed area sloping down to the river bank) Had to get a tractor to pull me out. Absolute bloody carnage on the ground. I’ll have to go back with the digger in June to try and fix it.

Good luck Doug.

JFC @monkeybusiness show some decorum! You press the ‘share’ button and copy and paste it, then we can see you did it in three without seeing the answer. Caught sight it, so todays Wordle ruined.

The Town centres and high streets need to be repurposed as residential. High streets are finished as retail centres. Dunno what to do about the homeless, I suspect there’s no magic bullet. Every case is different. A mixture of mental health, drugs and alcohol and economic reasons. There are solutions of course, but are we brave enough…?
