Working with Tilhill & NT Cragside , we were contracted to clear the silt and vegetation from two ponds at Cragside, Rothbury. Tricky access, a high footfall & water features of historic importance were all challenges we’re more than used to. A beautiful place!

Beautiful place to work NT Cragside

Peekaboo

Many thanks to David Hamilton at Scot Agri for giving us the opportunity to try out the MF 8S305.
They’ve certainly taken a huge leap in the right direction with this range!

Seriously, bugger off 😂

No need to name site or contractor as they were no doubt just doing what was specified. In 2023, is there really any need to be laying 1000’s of metres worth of plastic erosion netting in ditches?! Plenty of other bio-degradable/natural options out there FFS.

There’s a low loader there somewhere 😂

Looking for a used 13/14 tonner dipper, complete with bucket ram and linkage please. Condition not important, as long as the ram isn’t leaking and bushes aren’t oval! Thank you

Nice of someone to dispose of their used tyres along the Duns road last night. Absolute scum 🤬

If I’m finding fibre optic ducting with a grader, my guess is that it’s not deep enough 😂

When a picture speaks a thousand words 🌧️

Dear Rain,

As per my previous request (around this time last year), I’d be ever so grateful if you would kindly fuck off.

Regards,

Ben

Saves a trip 😂

Spent (another) wet day moving into the new workshop. You don’t realise how much sh**e you have until you have to empty a shed 😂

A quick shift across a wind farm this morning with the Grizzly low loader.

Doesn’t matter where you go these days, overhanging branches are an absolute joke! Not just because of the damage they cause, but also where you have to position a tractor or lorry on the road to avoid them. It’s not safe and I’m sick to death of it.

As a team, we were well spread out across Scotland this week!
