Ok then, Perhaps this really isn't the best of examples, but last month, I did a fallen tree -blocking minor road type of job. The unfortunate tree owner was blissfully unaware that their tree had just collapsed, across the access road to the local golf club and some neighbours houses. I explained the situation to them, and charged the princely sum of £180, for clearing vehicle access, that same evening. It was half a mile from home.. The following day, I texted a quotation for approx £900 to cover the full clear-up, with suggestions for local tree consultants, to give a report on their other roadside trees . Both invoices were paid promptly by a very happy new customer, with the strong likelihood of some future work, too.. Sorry about the photo, seems like there's some issue with uploading the same. After 5 attempts at reducing the size, we'll just have to live without it !

Yeah. Valtra mechanic they can corrode after a while and cause brakes to stick on slightly. I changed one this evening.

Love it! I’ve recently got a 79 series - will hopefully see me out! 😂

I’ve bought a few bits through ARB Surplus recently, and it’s been solid. Listings were clear, comms were quick, and everything arrived exactly as described. It's great having a space where gear changes hands among people who actually use it. Way better than taking a gamble on random marketplace sellers. Would definitely use it again if something else pops up.

yeah - severe drought years seem to cause a lot of movement on their own.

But probably still less than the original tree if it was mature with 1m diameter trunk, and at that point if it's really causing a problem it would be back to the insurance company to sort. I'm always sceptical about felling and subsidence, doesn't seem like an equilibrium game anyway - but obviously don't know any specifics here.

This might well be old news. This app is excellent! You press record, it ID's birds around you, and then higlights which one is chirping.

Machines have been earning their keep these last 3 weeks since we had a storm.

because the original aim was subsidence mitigation - imagine 10 years regrowth that thing would be sucking up water like there's no tomorrow My suggestion is buy 5l of glyphosate 360g/l pry, scrape off ivy all around trunk at 1.5m high drill 10mm holes at 45 degs downwards, 60mm deep, 30mm apart in a complete circle around trunk, use a 100ml syringe with plastic tube to fill the holes nearly to top with 50% solution diltuted with preferably rain water, but hard tap water would work May be cheaper than ecoplugs - and either method will work best in growing season, right now probably still ok, or April. You need to take care with mixing and applying strong glyphosate

Give an example please.

Something very simple I've noticed over the years, that seems to significantly help new, or less confident potential customers, to instruct tree work: Breaking down the quotation into a couple of component prices (especially with a low-ish cost prep/preliminary item of work, first ), seems to relax them. I guess they get to see that we're not a bunch of cowboys, and I get to see how good they are at paying bills !

Thanks,

Not the best footage, taken on our evening stroll with the dog, the wing shape, flight pattern and the call gives them away. IMG_7166.mov

you can send it to Kew, but I would say they've nailed it

Someone who worked there ,in Oz said they like to live in gutters /cracks and hollows obviously got his facts wrong !either way id not want to take my chances with the little ****************ers

I use steel on the end of my climbline to make it easier to throw my main line, it's more like a throwball and carab all in one 🙂

Why not let it grow?

You know that funnel webs live in the ground,Arborists work in Trees Yeah?

I would say it is definitely Paulownia tomentosa.

Looks very close to me, particually the seeds when comparing on google images. See the images here Royal Paulownia 500 Seeds Paulownia tomentosa FLORIDASEEDS.NET Paulownia tomentosa, commonly known as the empress tree or princess tree, is a fast-growing deciduous tree native to central and western...

Anyone had any experience with the fae mulcher - it’s to go on a 8t machine. TIA

Think leaves are wrong shape, and not fluffy.
