Sorry to hear that mate

You should get an x ray Mick

Snowed here last night too Justin. Wind was howling at the same time. Wasn't forecast this far south. Never seen snow this early before in Victoria.

No I don't worry about it Cory....especially on private property in a back yard.

Today I'm solo, out in Sooke. Start of quite a big job that we'll be back onto next week. These 2 red cedars are 90 and 100 ft at a guess, about 4 and a half feet dbh. The owner wants to clean up the brush himself, mill the logs. The pic doesnt nearly show how much of a mess I've left him. All...

Well done

I've been following Brian. It actually gave me a nudge in this direction.

It's a standard. Thanks. Only shortcoming is its not 4x4. Having the 4L is great for backing the chipper up steep driveways. But, ultimately I can't keep both trucks. I'll be putting a receiver hitch on the front if I get it.

Nice Steven. Did you have to duck on those first couple....you have the choker set far side ?

I went to look at this truck this morning. It's 89, 7.3 idi, 2wd. It's old but has been looked after it seems. 180,000 km. I'm going back tomorrow, but with a veteran diesel Mechanic, who's all too familiar with ford's of this era. If I get it, it'll be with a view to putting a dump box on it. I...

Saanich inlet, Mick

Just finished a 3 day job, rigging dead madrones. Powerlines, rooves, ornnamental trees, and cliff edges throughout. Tall, leggy, stone dead, rock hard....about 15 trees in total. One miscalculation was the difference between making money, or making nothing. The owner gave us no leway for...

It's been big climbs all week. 12 h days. Monday/Tuesday I was on a big dead fir removal over 3 gardens, solo. Felt like Id done a weeks work already. Since then my enthusiasm has gone down hill. Lombardy rigging/removal Wednesday. 3 + cedars and 3 firs reduction pruning today. All between 100 -...

Chinese lady tried to add on about 3 extra hours of work upon arrival today. Was quite a drive to the job, and I had Dave with me at $300. I said I'd have to increase the cost....she refused to accept it. I worked for her before, so wasn't surprised at her tactic. She looked surprised when I...

Rubbish day. Didn't get home until 7. Deadwood in a big oak over 3 properties. Some big chunks to rig by myself. Totally underestimated, I think down to the attractive German lady who lived there. I met her and and my brains just went to mush in hindsight....completely took my eye off the ball...

Look at this crap coming down now. From nowhere. Had to abandon the second job for fear of the chipper getting stuck.

How much is the little truck Willard?

Just had a heart stopper an hour ago. A big leaf maple at the edge of a forrest. Very steep ground. Tree was about 110 ft but no more than 16 in diameter...with a disproportionate one sided canopy. No targets but a horrible place to be sawing. Knew I would have to run for my life. Set the...

Good for you Joel. Doing the tree nobody else wanted soon gets around. Hope you get some referrals out it.

Picked up a used 200t today. From an ex-municipal worker who'd had it from new for side jobs. No cracks, leaks and lots of compression. Spark screen still in place even. Starts and runs perfect. Very pleased with it.
