You sure? Those new rangers are popping up all over the show over here. I haven't seen one parked next to the old model but they seem to be noticeably bigger.

My neighbour reckons his new one goes heaps better than his early model ranger, but he hasn't crashed this one into a bridge yet..

And so its not so much of a hijack; I dropped a couple of 3' gums the other day and I'm not envious of you guys doing it in 30 degree + temps. Reminded me of hard work

Haha nah I know its winter, theres too much mud outside for it to be anything else. What I meant was it was enough work at 15 degrees, I'd prefer not to be doing it in an aussie summer.

3 degrees gets old after a while too though, especially when its the inside temperature

Andrew I may get some time coming up soon as I'm between companies and getting ####ed around with the one I'm heading into. There is a good chance I may have some time up my sleeve. I'll keep you posted. I have a few sitting here ATM but not urgent (one being Matt's!).

[Stihlman441]

Actually I have a few to drop ASAP mate. One is a big Norfolk Island Pine about 120' tall and a 6-7 foot trunk (according to the property manager who rang me this arvo). Should be fun. Next to a house and the company wants me to drop it straight onto their orange trees as it will be less expensive than getting a crane in
I may even be able to fit it in between getting spewed on and nappy changes...

 

[Stihlman441]

That pine does sound like fun,ya better get some muffs for the little one.:cool2:

She'll be in one arm while I'm wielding the 390XP with the other I'm going to look at these trees Friday morning. The Norfolk Pine is probably 60' and 50cm diameter The manager said 2m trunk and 40m tall. I've found that most people's tree size estimations pull up way short of actual

 

[Stihlman441]

I got a so called big pine job on Friday to do,i went and had a look today, its about 38'' in dia anyway the MTronic will get a run and some coin in the pocket.:smile2:

[Graham99]

Matt, make sure you have the video camera set up for that one. I am sure we all want to rate you the same way we would rate a diving competition.

Difficult tree dropping with a 1/4 pike. Degree of difficulty 3.9

Then after the big thud

9.8, 9.9, 9.2, 9.5 and the judge from China wont vote.
