Hi, Hutchy.
Thanks for the photos. LURRRVE how high that blade lifts on the overhead cable arrangement.

Getting that buffed up and running should take you at least until smoko tomorrow, unless you rush the job and don't do it properly. LOL.

Just my 0.02.
You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

Nope. You're the only one 😂😂😂 Well hang in there. I think anything is better than the gas axe. Not too many of those around, at least here in Canada. I have seen only two in my area of British Columbia.

You talking about dozers or women?

I have done both

Mistake with a dozer... a gas axe can cake care off
Women.... noT so much .....
rental program on both is cheaper In the long run......
Don’t ask me how I know :)

Well done Mark. Going to take a few wet days to get that one done. Looks a lot wetter than here where you picked that one up.
Due to covid restrictions I can't come and help you sorry.

Well done Hutchy, looks like a straight old Cat compared to the rubbish I drag home, shouldn't take you long to get her purring again.
Good luck
Mike
