Hi, Hutchy.
Thanks for the photos. LURRRVE how high that blade lifts on the overhead cable arrangement.

Getting that buffed up and running should take you at least until smoko tomorrow, unless you rush the job and don't do it properly. LOL.

Just my 0.02.

Nope. You're the only one 😂😂😂 Well hang in there. I think anything is better than the gas axe. Not too many of those around, at least here in Canada. I have seen only two in my area of British Columbia.

You talking about dozers or women?

I have done both

Mistake with a dozer... a gas axe can cake care off
Women.... noT so much .....
rental program on both is cheaper In the long run......
Don’t ask me how I know 😊
Good save on the fifty !

Well done Mark. Going to take a few wet days to get that one done. Looks a lot wetter than here where you picked that one up.
Due to covid restrictions I can't come and help you sorry.

Well done Hutchy, looks like a straight old Cat compared to the rubbish I drag home, shouldn't take you long to get her purring again.
Good luck

Hi Mark,
well done--thought the Melbourne restrictions lock down zone might have snookered your retrieval plans but apparently not--vital piece of contracting equipment that just needs a smidgen of TLC to enable it to help save us during the next fire season.

Sorry I am stuck here now in the Disaster declared area for the foreseeable next 6 weeks thus far proposed and so cannot travel more than 5 K's (3 miles) from home as well as be outside more than 1 hour per day for essential reasons to come and check it out with you.

Looks almost intact but sadly open in most areas for that evil water to get at it.
At least it is saved even if it becomes a monument.

Thanks and Cheers,
Eddie B.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
