People worry to much. Its fine....

I think it was around 3years ago we had a fly over at the local street market. Amongst our group of friends was a war veteran who had unfortunately lost his eye sight. More unfortunately he's since died but anyhow... His reaction as he heard the noise, brought a group of fully grown men to tears. It's a memory that will stay with me forever.

I definitely agree with this. I've been subbed in as a climber to get firms through an AA Aproval. Paid handsomely for it mind 😉

Not mine but a friends. Gave him a hand with some winching the other day. He has a vast collection of tractors. All of them are immaculate but still get used as and when.

We are just about to start a clearance job in Saltford, Keynsham. Some lovely processor size firewood, mixture of ash, beech, cherry, chestnut etc. Due to access (low bridge) it would suit someone local with tractor and forwarding trailer. Open to offers. There will be approx 40ton We will also have similar quantity of poplar which would go for chip wood. Please dm for more info. Many thanks. T

I've used both as a Subbie with other companies. The more recent Doosan engine is noticeably more powerful and is a beast but I still can't help always spot the the classic forst poor build issues.

I should post more often. Seeing those pics of the Avant reminded me to share these from the last couple days. received_414845107035942.mp4

Go out further and take smaller bits. Put a felling cut in as appose to step cut. Make sure you cut the side of the hinge aswell before back cut. Use a bigger saw with smaller bar for faster chain speed.

I bumped into a guy I used to drink with a week or so ago. Guess who climbs trees for a living and guess who invested in crypto.

Typical Friday today. Was getting pretty fed up with the world until i had a beer. Subbed out this morning to a builder with the Avant to move some building materials. 5min job turned into a few hours which meant I didn't get to this beech until just gone 12. Forgot a before picture but managed to give it a quick reduction and was unloaded and back the yard by 4. Met the other gang only to be greated by a tracked chipper that had shit its belts 🤦‍♂️

As a family we never really do presents but Brother in law lost his job due to covid and has spent the last few months working away in his shed making things for us all this Xmas. This was my gift. Completely handmade, very original. One of the best gifts I've had in years

The red tape we had to go through was ridiculous. The local council wouldn't let us do it for free, had to be quoted for, and carried out by a vat registered and insured contractor. Luckily a mate stepped up who runs a civil engineering company and we did it through him. Donated the money straight back into the village community charity fund.

We did the same, all be it abit smaller than yours!!
