I had to smile. The day after I finished the fence I saw a guy pouring with sweat digging his front hedge out. Nearly told him about my technique but then thought I may end up lending my tools out. Still he looked like he was having fun and there was only about 15' of it to do. |

A few years back when I had my JCB 3CX I had to remove some rather large Leylandii (maybe 30 foot) that were close to the house. The first few just pulled out with a large strop round the trunk and lifting out with the main bucket. But there were two that put up a much better struggle. I ended up with a large chain, and 'dynamically' yanking them out with the 14 tons of inertia of the machine reversing as fast as it could (not very!) on an initially slack chain. Didn't half chew up the lawn :bugeye: |
