Today's Job...

On the subject of Broken Hill, Aaron I was shown an article on Silverton today in the latest 4wd advertiser (can't remember what it was called) and showed the Madmax car still out the front. Unless this is false advertising of late!

Oh OK, so no drinking till Broken Hill you say Matt?

So if you come over this way does that mean I'm to stock up on the Lavazza?

Yeah I agree mate. A massive Red Roo is a pretty awesome sight.

Anyway a couple more videos. First one is of the 390XP and second one is the 660 again, including a thrown chain when it hooked a bit of dry, hard bark...

[willbarryrec]

That 660 is a bit of a beast !:msp_w00t:
Thanks for the great pics and vid's.....I love the fact that this thread is still around!

 

[MCW]

Hey don't worry Andrew, it won't be getting worn out thats for sure The video camera doesn't take long to set up as it's on a tripod and all I have to do is line it up and hit the button. Oh and I'm pretty well my own boss out here which is pretty cool

It is most certainly a beast and not much seems to slow it down! No worries about keeping the thread updated either. Glad you're enjoying it and I certainly enjoy updating it when I can

Same here. I was in Australia in July 1994. Love the place. Brings back memories.

Matt, why do you choose to cut one stump and not the next few?

 

[parrisw]

Matt, why do you choose to cut one stump and not the next few?

Because he's like a little kid running around playing and having fun, and can't decide one thing from the next.

 

[wyk]

Matt, why do you choose to cut one stump and not the next few?

It's a warning to the other stumps.

 

[bcorradi]

Matt, why do you choose to cut one stump and not the next few?

Because he is getting paid for the job by the hour.

 

[AUSSIE1]

Matt, why do you choose to cut one stump and not the next few?

Apart from being a slack bugger, it saves on fuel and chains!

Plus he's making time to take vids and text!

 

[tdi-rick]

Matt, why do you choose to cut one stump and not the next few?

Because you need to get the herbicide onto the stump NOW.

If you cut two or three stumps then go back to the first, the chances of a decent uptake of herbicide is drastically reduced, almost to zero as I'm guessing the tree tries to seal itself with sap.

I'm not too clear on what action a plant takes when wounded like that, all i know is you don't have much time to get the herbicide into it.

It's what we do with woody weeds, slash with a brushcutter and paint the stump instantly.
Contractors have a spray setup on their brushcutters so that as soon as they cut they hit the wound with a squirt of herbicide.
