    It's funny how the world works. Had my first member log drop to my home, very nice chap. Turned up with an Ifor Williams model I hadn't looked at full of logs and chips. It was the LM85 with drop down sides AND the mesh kit! He casually mentioned it was for sale as he needed to upgrade to a tipper trailer..... I'll be taking ownership of it later today when he drops it round! Thanks again for the advice all, after seeing it in action I completely agree with the advice to go with a drop down.

    Has anyone found a defence or an explanation yet? I've seen accusations of sexual abuse from all corners, and suggestions that maybe it is an ugly wife and not a young lad... but very weird body language. Hope if he's a nonce he gets his comeuppance and the kid gets some help.

    As I understand it Pi insurance should only be needed if you are giving written report liken tree survey work etc. public liability will do along with employers liability if any one works with you (including a self employed subbie)

    New to the forums and can use some advice. I took a few pictures and believe that these are arborvitaes but not 100% certain. You can see the issue immediately. Certain spots are bare and brown while other spots are green and full. Some areas are not so full. Is there any hope for these and are there things I can do to help them? They do not get manually watered. Some get some direct sun and some do not. The ones that do get direct sun are only for a couple of hours at most. I'd be open to anything to help bring these back. Thank you for any thoughts or suggestions.

    I can believe the top died back 10+yrs ago and it's been getting steadily sadder looking since. Pretty sure it's turkey oak so even if it was sound it would be poor for almost everything you would use oak for. Stunning figure (if you can get it to dry without twisting and splitting) but has very poor strength and durability for oak. It's crap firewood, being mostly sapwood and water. Mobile milling we charge £100 per hour ( actual milling time, half day minimum). With 30" Norwood

    You should have told him you couldn’t afford logs that don’t grow on trees like you rich lot stubby. It still amazes me how bloody thick people can be.

    The point on the seals is that I once did the seals on a 460 or 660..a long time ago, I failed to push home the seal so it was level with the surrounding alloy casing and it was enough to fractionally bend the oil pump when screwed down and it was enough to make the oil pump gear very difficult to turn. Your plate being bent up is more likely but if you have tried everything else......

    Agree with Mark. If the insurance company is refusing to go with professional advice presented to them then a court case may be in the future. I would keep note of advice, timelines and anything else. As insurance companies will always try and worm out of things. If root barriers are not advised on grounds it could have an adverse effect on the trees health/stability then they should be listening tho this advise. If they are not then they could be liable if there is a future issue.

    When I was a little boy ( 4 or 5 ) I remember my Granddad had 3 or 4 pear trees pleached along the boundary in his back garden . I thought at the time it was very lucky that they grew that way !

    consider a good clean with some kinda resin solvent and a little wire brush? ive done mine a few times and its surprising the difference a good clean makes. but that depends on how badly blunted it is.

    Finally opted for a Krpan 6,5 eh. Haven't tried it out yet. Too much grass cutting & fencing to be done 😒. Thanks folks for the advice and input.

    You could mark your racks with biodegradable marking tape which comes in various colours (70m roll £3.95 plus vat) or PVC tape which also comes also in different colours (£3.45 plus vat for 46m roll) if tape likely to be on trees quite a while, there is no standard colouring used for racks or marking trees. Trees to be felled can be marked on two sides with tree marking paint being consistent with sides marked, any colour will do be some colours stand out better than others. Trees to come out can of course be blazed with a hatchet but physically easier with spray paint (a dot each side of tree will do), if you change your mind you cannot remove a blaze mark and have damaged the tree where as paint can be normally be scraped off.

    I'm just answering based on what I was charged last year by some self employed (and to be fair very good) fellers when I needed some extra help. They were £180 average and labourers are £100-120. Usually I'm one of the ones going out so that's my profit, I said £650 to cover other costs and obviously they'll be some more on the machinery. I would usually charge per ton or for the job anyway but this job sounds quite unique.
