[QUOTE="steveR, post: 6632737, member: 66976"] Sounds like they send their plant operator to a national training school... Got a local maintenance gang who worked for a private outfit, paid on a linear basis for many years before the cutbacks" and they had an impressive work rate... The EA "approved" bunch that were doing some work on a watercourse here last year for STW were an embarrassment, slow, unsafe and poor operators. They also came in at nearly 3 times the price I had negotiated for a local driver with a long reach 360 before it was decided that the task was not my responsibility!! I would have billed them, but a lot less! TBH, if the EA would just FOAD, farmers would soon sort the rivers locally in many areas... That same long reach 360 with a good driver will cover many km in short order. We had a farmer led move to remove fallen tress and low branches on a local river locally that worked well, Looked brutal in some instances initially, but at least the water now keeps moving!
