thank you for your replies.. I'll keep a closer eye for honey fungus ... this could be the answer... -
There is no scientific evidence to support the 12 x diameter rule of thumb. At the end of the day you have to start somewhere, but determining root spread, and the impact of root loss, should be done on the basis of tree and site specific criteria. The article in the Arb Journal relates to ASNW, veteran and ancient trees, rather than trees per-se. You could interogate the UKTC archive which may, or may not, help.

You may find the pot is salvageable ( remove the aluminum transfer with brick acid or similar ) a light hone and a new piston and ring ........

I have not used Motomix but have used Aspen and Husqvarna " Power XP " fuel and I cant tell the difference So I would assume Motomix to be similar .

So before I start, I collect fire wood (with permission) from waste wood from the neighbouring cemetry, it helps them out keeping their site clear and keeps me warmer n the winter. So Cindy got a knock at the door yesterday "Do you take things from the cemetry", "Oh you mean the logs" (after a bit of thought) "yes do you want some" "Errr OK " which for a conversation starter is unusual. The rest of the conversation went along the lines of "Can Steven chop logs" "He has axes and saws, yes" "OK, we'll tip a load of logs off, if you can move the car we'll come down the drive as far as we can".. So the text I got was "You might get a few logs delivered today" turns out it was 1/4 of quite a long drive - I need to teach Cindy that 'a few logs' might be more than that... and I also need to teach her how to use the saw and the axe.. 1/4 of the drive... and we got the rest of the logs today (double yesterdays). So just on the off chance it was you that left me pretty much next years fire wood - thanks, much appreciated. I think. I've got a busy weekend ahead of me.

Near Loughborough today, With Simon from Bonington trees, Scots pine fell gently onto the neighbours oak framed garage. Spent the morning rigging everything down, before the cavalry/loader arrived. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Stephen, in the fourth picture, what is that silver box mounted inline with the hydraulic pipes on the ram? I saw those today on a kubota and wondered what they do?

I’m not convinced by Milwaukee and Dewalt any more. They definitely do good tools (Milwaukee Fuel range for example) but they also sell budget stuff which isn’t any better than the own brand stuff mentioned earlier imo. Pick up a Dewalt or Milwaukee drill in screwfix and have a feel of the chuck etc - the stuff they always have on offer on display tends to feel like cheap crap but they sell well on the back of their name. I’m moving across to Makita now from Hitachi (which is also good imo) as I bought a couple of Makita electric chainsaws for a job and now have loads of their batteries. Everything I’ve got so far I’m really happy with - the quality seems to be there but it is still early days.

Paul. Will there be any possibility for consultation on the ICOP? perhaps a draft published here? I have been pleased with the large number of sensible and well thought out replies on this thread, perhaps if we were able to give a draft the once over it wouldn't be a bad thing? Cheers

Yes absolutely dave and why not after all we don’t live the other side of the world from each other and this is part of what I wanted to happen is to bring other readers into it be it if they are making a living from anything to do with trees/either forestry or arborists side if things or who just like to join in and make a living from doing something else,most of the ladies and gentlemen on here are spot on and have good banter and conversation and hopefully this will just make a slight change from the norm as I know how much a lot of menbers on here are massive dog lovers and just wanted to bring a little bit of fresh chat and discussion into what we do,dogs for a lot of us are our best friends and our release especially if shooting or country sports are involved as well and i will hopefully combine the two when Weaver starts coming out with me more regular,he has been coming out since I have hadn’t him but has either stayed in the truck or because he is so titchy tiney at the moment that he is under your feet without knowing he is there and I have been climbing last few days so but difficult. when he is up to the standard I want him to be at I will be planning on hopefully getting out to some invites on shoots all over the country and meet up wit fellow Arbs and or gundog guys and or ladies🐶

NPTC assessments aren’t a bad gauge, particularly when you get into dismantling/windblow/large trees/UA tickets etc. You need to be half decent to pass any of those IMO, but they aren’t actually necessary outside certain client’s requirements (utilities mostly) so not many bother with them. The BALI/CSCS bollocks wouldn’t recognise any of that though. Basic chainsaw tickets don’t tell you anything mind - even digger drivers could probably pass them!!!

Thanks.

liked the newspaper ad with the guy in a short sleeve shirt, slacks and brogues. The pre PPE era !!

Meetings with remarkable trees, the Arbtalk version

Seven Sisters chestnut, Penshurst. Ended up here on a random walk, didn't know it was there. The largest living tree (by volume?) in the UK I believe, a seven stemmed sweet chestnut. -
Why should the landlord pay anything? Or indeed organise anything? The OP broke it, so the onus is on him to finance and organise a solution. -
