Iain.

Just a good oppertunity. I found it hard to accept that an area I had built up over the years, one of the last not covered by a TW dealer was going to be taken over by someone who would be a total stranger to most of the customers. I am enjoying it though. Its like going back a few years when TW had more direct contact with customers. Thanks everyone for your comments. They are appreciated.

Very good TW very diplomatic!

Hey Yellow Fox, still not had my copy... Not that I'm too worried, cause I havent had an invoice either....
But I will want the back page on the next issue...

 

[Big A]

OK,OK, Enuff already!! So I broke the bloody stump grinder, hit a "lucky" horseshoe in the middle of a viburnum stump. Locked the flywheel and snapped the retainers clean off. I was just glad that it didnt fly out and do some damage elsewhere. Cant keep anything secret around here. :Eye: :Eye:

 

[Buzzlightyear]

Jesus that's not good ! Glad your ok !

 

[Big A]

More pi$$ed off than anything, I pride myself in being as careful as poss with othedr peoples kit. I'd raked the area to be ground, picked up various metal articles such as discarded mower blades and a 3 foot long metal spike as I didnt fancy them flying around, ground down about 6 inches and BANG!! I bet old T/Wolf is rubbing his hands together counting the £££'s, lol

bugger

big a, a stump grinder broken, beat this.

driving home in our merc MB trac 1500 (its our skidder, 2 11 ton winches and jumbo linkage butt plate on the back).

came round a corner too fast (for the wet) lost the back end as it spun out, over compensated my steering and cut across the road through a post and wire fence and through some trees (only small things, standard sized). i missed a 3 foot diam beech by a foot, and bounced a wheel over a 2 foot high stump. dented the rim so the wheel wont hold any air, bosses big fear is that i've knocked the prop shaft through the gear box.

he is willing to be annoyed and stump up the costs if i put in the labour for anything that needs done, so far ive removed the wheel just need to get it to the tyre folks, so they can assess the damage.

oh and the new guy giuded the boss back in the pick up over a 254 a few days previously......not a good week.

anyway its saturday night, im young (ish) free and recentyl single so i'm away out on the pull, enjoy your night everyone.

[Big A]

S'pose you're lucky to still have a job, I reckon most bosses get wound up by damaged kit as it not only takes the profit off one job, but the down-time and so on can knock on for days til its sorted. Sure he'll come around soone r or later, and MAYBE even laugh it off and put it down to experience. Good Luck!!

 

[Ross Turner]

Jamie he could always deduct the repair costs out of your wages,lol

 

[PRUNER 1]
