Cut the butts of and have the digger for a 2nd day to dig a big hole to bury the roots or use the tops to have a nice big November 5th bonfire(it'll all be dry by then as well)

Will gum your saw chains up and your chipper:thumb down: Up the price to cover a half day cleaning all the kit:001_rolleyes: Don't be too upset if you don't get the job:sneaky2:Surprised it hasn't died anyway! They are in my area.

Just looked at your attached U tube video - what a complete waste of time for a small stump - spade and pick would of done it before he set it all up:thumb down: Don't think you can pull out a 8inch stump like that with a Tirfor unless you dig around it and cut off the main roots - you'll need a supply of shear pins:confused1:

Can you not get a one'n'half tonne or bigger tracked mini digger in. leave a 4/5 ft stump, dig out around the base and pull them over, the time to set up a tirfor each time and the handle ratcheting with performance dropping off as you go will require a big effort:boring: Have done several large Leylandi trees and hedges for a developer lately and thats what I do.

Didn't realise Down-Under was being hit by Storm Doris as well! A bigger storm than I thought!

29 and worked most of your life in the trade and only just got CS 30, what sort of companies have you been working for and what exactly have you been doing whilst on site?

If your travelling regular long distances then probably best to get one of the national recovery outfits but check all the small print! Some have weight limits and also exclude older vehicles. Small print might also say they will only recover you to the nearest repair centre! They might also spend all day getting you back where you want to go by relaying you from recovery to recovery. If your staying local find a local recovery company, speak to them and get some costs. Whats the chance of you breaking down requiring recovery anyway and 3 or 4 years membership fees for one of the big organisations could get you recovered. Carry a list of local firms that could recover you. The best option is 'the mate network" who can tow, fix punctures, have trailers etc:thumbup:
