  1. Morning all, Lazy day here other than perhaps trying to allocate days to jobs for new year. Plenty booked in to allocate but have to build in flexibility for the weather. Not every customer can cope with a call the night before to say we are coming at 8 tomorrow. Happy Sunday
  2. Morning all, Wet here too. Got to take the mewp to a local site before Monday. I have to reverse the trailer and chipper from a school car park to the job site. Not something to try when all the staff are trying to park. Have a good weekend.
  3. Morning all, Day of rest here, other than maybe a bit of tinkering in workshop. Rain due in a bit.
  4. Morning all, Get my state pension today, 66. Celebrating by going out to work. Young lad dismantling large manky pine close to a shed. I’m on the ground. Yesterday for only the second time ever we experienced carb icing up due to fog and below zero. Yet today’s max is forecast at 14 degrees. Totally weird.
  5. Morning all, Heavy frost here. Glad I opted for the pre heater when I bought the Iveco 11 years ago. Watch those slippery surfaces.
  6. Morning all, Couldn't access the thread via the app this morning, on laptop now. Frosty windscreens then fine day. Dismantling a split conifer due to co-dominant stem at ground level. Got to try not to trash the shrub underneath on neighbour's side. Be good all.
  7. Morning all, Dry here and no frost. Local work reducing a spindly holly hedge plus odds and ends. Have a good week.
  8. Morning all, Raining plenty here. Trip over to my sister and blow out the DPF with a good run. Happy Sunday
  9. Morning all, No need for thermal base layer today. Doing a quote then maybe a little spannering. Have a good weekend.
  10. Morning all, My usual Friday off. Bit of office work then maybe go for a walk with wife. Dog can’t go far so she will stay home while we are mindful of ice - hips get weaker with age. Safer up a tree.
  11. I also have the 22t venom. I rate it highly in that it sips petrol, can be used horizontally or upright, and i have never yet found anything it could not get through. Mine has the earlier type of suspension units, and although I have towed it on the road in the past it is a bit lop sided for road use now. I note the newer ones have different suspension.
  12. Morning all, Frost and blue sky here. Couple of small conifers to fell this morning. Difficult access so taking the Jo-Beau. Then dentist this afternoon. The weekend gets nearer.
  13. Morning all, No frost here, sunshine hopefully. Small maple repeat pollard then home.
  14. Neither of the people either side of it wanted their fences damaging, so it would have had to be felled higher than I can reach from a ditch. Didn't fancy being tied in with spikes and a strop, as it had significant die back. Also we left the trunk standing at the level of the main crotch for nature to nibble away at.
  15. Morning all, Conifer felling today. Will try to get as much done as possible before the rain moves in.
  16. Morning all, Frost here. Grinding lots of small holly stumps today. Stay warm.
  17. What have you got?
  18. Morning all, Week ahead looking sunny and cold. Much better than muggy and grey. Happy Sunday.
  19. Morning all, Calm now after very windy night. Doing a quote Doing a quote then putting the home made stump grinder on the minidigger ready for Monday. Have a good weekend.
  20. Morning all, Throwing it down here, but I don't do Fridays on site anyway. Bit of office work then domestic bliss. The mewp was a joy to use yesterday now it is behaving itself. I chose to put oversize pads under the outriggers as the ground was pretty soft. Hope your day goes ok in this weather.
  21. You guys make me look so inadequate. This is the best I can offer up at present. Ash with die back just along my lane. Started 08:30, finished 4 hours later. No chipping, nothing to remove. Blue sky and sunshine, working in short sleeves. WhatsApp Video 2025-11-13 at 11.25.57.mp4 WhatsApp Video 2025-11-13 at 12.15.12.mp4
  22. Morning all, Sunshine and 14 degrees forecast. Dismantling ash with die back between a field and a garden paddock. Using mewp and little Bob to move the timber. Leaving it all on site, no chipping. Stay safe.
  23. Morning all, Grey a d drizzly here. Annual laurel hedge trim this morning then load up mewp and bobcat ready for tomorrow. Have a good day all.
  24. Morning all, Looking like a wet one here. Taking the day off to rest my (real not metal) knee. Hope all goes well Pete.
  25. Morning all, Other way round for the weather here. Dry and sunny this morning, rain this afternoon. Heavy rain tomorrow. Minor climbing this morning then felling hollies around the edge of a copse where they are invading the field. Have a good week.
