    I have recently added the flatbed with forks option. Proving really useful. I bought mine via Fresh Products but you can deal direct with Mucktruck. Built in Cornwall. WhatsApp Video 2025-02-03 at 14.50.36.mp4

    Sometimes I have to remind myself when I see a frailer older person that they were once a baby then a toddler, teenager, young adult etc. Time and tide wait for no man (or woman or person).

    I am 65 now, and knee replacement last November. Very grateful to have had a fantastic result from it. Lots of other joint aches too. Working in the day they ease off, just stiffen up in the evening. Use it or lose it. I use a good young lad for climbing jobs that are day long, as shoulders don't like a full day trying to pull branches through the crown then throw them over it to avoid getting hung up! Still happy to climb within my limits, as Mick implies groundie work is tough or tougher. If machinery can help I use it, have invested in a good tracked mewp and sub myself to a couple of other teams. Experience and cunning compensate for the ageing body, as does being able to choose what job you do on what day.

    Morning all, Drizzle going, sun coming. Garden work at home, moving woodchip with power barrow to borders. Oh, some aspects of that sound like work. Enjoy whatever you’re doing, unless it is working on a mixed pyracantha and blackthorn hedge with hand tools.

    Morning all, Mist already being burnt off by the sun, looking good. A day of epicormic removals today, as we spent yesterday on logs. Have a good day y’all.

    Morning all, Grey and drizzly. Think we’ll start with chain sharpening and log cutting, then if it clear up do some local lime epicormics.

    Yes, my RC3001 was supplied with the big yellow one. It does make the standard 5,000kg ones look a bit whimpish.

    Morning all, Frosty start to a warmer day. Deadwooding a sycamore then maybe strip and kill ivy at ground level on several trees.

    A grey and damp good morning all.

    The most bizarre thing I had to do some years ago was use a 9 inch angle grinder up in a large beech tree to remove the over engineered tree house - heavy gauge 2 inch angle iron that the main substems had grown round. Then cable tied red fabric to all the protruding metal stubs before a chainsaw went up the tree.

    Morning all, Rained overnight and more due later on. Just what I needed to wash the ferrous sulphate into my lawn that I applied a few days ago. Have a good weekend.

    Morning all, No thermal under layer for me today. Bit of crown raising to meet statutory clearance over side street in next village to mine. Enjoy the weather.

    Chain storage

    Tupperware in the van tool locker. Cuphooks in the workshop with a tag label on each hook to ID the chains.

    Morning all, Grey and dry here. Pruning, deadwooding, removing epicormics from some limes today. Using the mewp as it will fit into the gaps ok.
