Yehh, I know, you might get lucky, but bet a few have got unlucky with them, it’s a shame cos there well made, we went for a look around this place a few years ago hoping to get some good bodies, but a quick run over with the tape measure put an end to that.http://www.ljacksonandco.com/

Yeh they had some lovely stuff all over, but like you say, knew how to charge, they wanted silly money for stuff.

I’ve been lifting 10m telegraph poles in around an existing play structure today - they are to carry tensioning wires for a new zip line overhead out of the way.
My 6 tonner with Rototilt was the perfect machine for this job (I don’t really know what other machine could do it tbh) - nothing bigger would fit amongst the structures, and nothing smaller would reach.

What a lovely set-up, the guarding just finishes it off, and what a great place to be working.

No, a new theme park that is yet to open in Cheshire. Lovely place to work, it’s all set within stunning woodland.

Thanks - I’m made up with it. I’ve also put a mini(er!) version together, planning on getting guarding but a bit worried about overall weight...

Not sure, can’t be much in reality so I will get it done when I have time.
This guy makes some nice guarding so will probably go with him I reckon

I know this is an old post, but how do you get that so nice looking. Sharp edges, no dirt spilled around I don't even see any track marks in the grass. Any tips would be appreciated!

 

[Furniss]

Tidy job ........Cut the turf first and use boards to track on I guess.

I have a friend who buys them for his skip company and he converts them in about half a day
