The customer isn't always right but they are paying the bills.

I’ve told them to stick some privet whips in over the winter. Will be grand in five years as the fence falls to bits.

Snuck in and snuck out very carefully!

£80 for a shitty Polish made one like those that will last maybe three years if you're lucky. £150 for a British made one but lead time March and the customer wanted this done before Christmas.

Only 180° on the excavator not 360° which the Haulotte has. So handy to dig at one end, spin around and load the loader bucket then transport to where you want the spoil. All on one machine

So it’s an articulated wheel digger with a cab that spins rather than just the seat. I wonder why it didn’t take off…

Rather enjoying this job. Fine dining al fresco. And opening up these old water meadows which you could barely walk through a week ago they had so much fallen willow and gorse everywhere. Also got myself a new Poormans grapple saw which is working well.
