  1. Past hour
  2. Tree surgery? All that cutting and chipping? Hardest game in the world that. Done it meself you see, 30 years man and boy.
  3. Something is fishy about the picture though, fungus stem doesn't appear from the edge of the cut like that. Doesn't exist anywhere else maybe because AI generated for the post.
  4. Today
  5. It's not hard, it's just that most don't want to pay the money. Vermeer 925 will smash everything in its size class, but you pay for the privilege. Still way cheaper than a groundy.
  6. Something like this for a little over a quid a day might be worth looking at: Annual Package — RAMs App Software | Risk Assessment Software, Method Statement Software and COSHH Assessments WWW.RAMS-APP.CO.UK I haven't used it so can't endorse it, and have posted it as an example, but products like this one are what I'd be strongly looking into if I was in your postition.
  7. Your tip site currently says you don't want logs. You might want to edit that for starters.
  8. Normally, yes, but the one you quoted was following the natural flow of the conversation. I could have written it less succinctly but made the same point: "those that voted for Brexit, the Brexiteers, would never accept a solution involving 'making a deal' with the French and the EU, it would mean breaking that sacred vow that all things EU are evil, should not be tolerated. All trade and world diplomacy should be directed away from the continent. Rwanda is a case in point where a civilised country, like the UK, actively supports sending the desperate to a country renowned for its genocide and human rights abuses"...but I think my original way was better and more to the point.
  9. That's the cynics view. There are some good schemes out there. Do your research & look for independent audits & accounts. One of the charities recently purchased an area of rough grassland near us. Now planted with native broadleaves & looking good so far despite the drier than average weather this year.

  11. Good Morning Everyone.
  12. Have you looked at looping steel cable round the stem with vertical timber spreader bars under the cable? Save a lot of hassle drilling then, has worked well on trees that previously would have had rods or been drilled and cabled. Or Treeworker will sell you very high MBS dyneema bracing material if you want a static splice- able set up that is stronger than any normal Gefa, cobra or marlow braids.

  16. with my non tipping trailer for hedge cuttings i would put a tarp down then about a foot of cuttings then another tarp and so on then 2 of us could pull each tarp off in turn. an old waggon driver i new used a double wagon hitch to get extra pull don't know how he did it i had problems doing one even after been shown several times
  17. thanks for all the replies... and encouragement!!
  18. I keep meaning to put a steel biner on my SRT rope end. Sometimes feel uneasy about sideloading when I'm choking. The weight might be nice for throwing it ahead too.
  19. This⬆️ Or a Makita 40v battery saw, with 1/4. Basically most things with a 1/4" chain
  20. Unusual for what appears to be Meripilus both in colour and the fact that it is attached to the actual stem, rather than roots. It's not obvious in the photos as my camera hasn't rendered the colour very accurately, but the bodies were quite a dark brown, more so than any I have seen before. If it wasn't for the spore bearing surfaces, I'd have thought it was something else.
  21. 100% recommend, like Mark I’ve told plenty of people to call them. The more tipper conversions I see the more I appreciate how good a job they did on mine, proper nice guys too.

  27. Remember that quote I told you about for the urbanite incomer to the nice village? He walked me round his new garden, huffing and puffing and throwing his arms up in the air at the stupidity of whoever had planted these trees, just all over the place. That'd be the planet, sir. I hope he runs out of money before he astroturfs the whole thing. A shame I didn't get the job because it would have been a nice job but good I didn't get it because then, to the rest of the people in the nice village, I'd be the arsehole tree surgeon who did the trees for that arsehole Londoner.
