I think he means cutting the load leaves Gareth.


If so I cant see why you couldn't cut them on the car considering they hang lower and there isn't much chance of cutting the other leaves etc.

I wouldn't do it unless you had a wrap-bar, and even then you might as well just take the bastards right out. :D
