Having never met you in person Mr stubby this is how i imagine you back in the day 😀 Maybe a different hair style.

costs for everyone have shot up. I will probably close down the yards here soon, the cost to run a loader and then time to load artics with chip just isn’t worth it. I know when I do that a lot of local lads will be frustrated as there aren’t many places where they can tip day and night around here.

Reducing for the sake of reducing because they feel pruning will help the tree with out a valid reason then yes … I’m quite convince we have saved many trees from total collapse when reducing for the right reasons though… some times I think it can accelerate decline if done badly .. basically by folk who can’t be bothered to put the effort in and cut everything out to make it an easy climb or won’t go further for what ever reason.

Good Morning Nice one Stubby. Summer on the way from Monday. Hurrah Have a peaceful day before the midweek festivities.

Thanks

The 'green' credentials of battery power are not good at the consumer end but you don't see all the damage done on mining the raw elements for the batteries. Bad for the planet and the individuals involved in the work. Hopefully some newer tech, battery or otherwise, will come along and save the day.

Do you mean you avoid reducing big trees or reducing trees ‘bigly’?

Original Jethro Tull Guitarist Mick Abrahams Dead at 82 ULTIMATECLASSICROCK.COM See what his replacement in Jethro Tull had to say about the "magnificent guitar player."

The OP has not hinted at what he would pay for say 2 arctic bulker load sat in a yard 40 mile away from his yard ? I get the feeling he is wanting it for next to nowt ? but every thing in life has a value and that value is far more to some than it is to others,, I know of 3 local ish yards where tree surgeons tip off (log chip and brash), 2 are free of charge and one is a tenner a load weather it be a barrow full or 5 tonne, all 3 of them are no where near as busy as they where 3 or 4 yrs ago ? and there is a very simple answer to that one and it is as the age old saying goes, money talks, One of these yards a friend of mine takes all the shite log from it for chipping (i do know what he pays for it and its not peanuts) and its 1 or 2 arctic load a wk ATM unlike 3 or 4 yrs ago it was 4 or 5 arctic load a wk, sorry to say things have changed as some one said above due to green energy ? and the days of getting timber of any sort for little money have virtually gone, 10 yr ago i was paying £950 for 25 tonne loads of decent sized hardwood today you can put 2k in front of the £950 and thats if you can get a odd load, None of us can compete with the likes of Jenkinsons who are running over 2000 trucks and seem to have the waste timber biomass job sawn up from one end of the country to the other with the likes of Tilhill and Euro forest all selling to jenkinsons and have signed deals with em, so the likes of us aint got a cat in hells chance of getting much nowadays,, i do still get a bit of timber from harvesting sites but its a couple of tonne of 2.5mtr a couple of tonne of 3.1mtr a few 3,7mtr and a few 4,9mtr then some big rough 2,5mtr over size, this may equate to a total from 5 or 6 tonne to may be 15 tonne but all i am doing is tidying up for them as its not worth sending a wagon for a part load, i would think you are on the RHI payment for your boiler so your getting paid for each kilowatt of heat you produce ? i know a few on this RHI payment and they just buying walking floor arctic loads of dried chip,, some one did say facebook market place and thats where the tree surgeons are getting rid of there excess log but for good money,, i used to take a good amount from a few tree surgeons but not had much this last few years,, ,
