    ArbDogs? Pics!

    Same. Mine must be broken though because it doesn’t work when he’s doing 20 miles an hour after a roe.
  3. 3/8 rim 501598002 501597702 3/8 rim sprocket
  4. You should have zero up and down movment on the con rod ( big end ) side to side movment ( lateral ) is acceptable, these saws are more suseptable to main bearing cages breaking up not so much big end bearing wear.
  5. I'm aware of the description and that's why I used it as you always seem to believe that you are in some way morally or educationally superior. Fortunately I'm able to pick and choose which idiots I hang around.
  6. Stunning and brave.
  7. Wordle 1,411 4/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟨🟩 🟩⬜⬜🟩🟩 🟩⬜🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Missed chance of a three.
  8. Oi oi then William . Nice to meet you sir . 🙂
  9. Today
  10. New inhabitants moving in already. There's three tubes been capped off already and it's only been out a few days.
  11. Thanks. I think then it's not the degree of hard pruning, but rather my timing of it that's been the issue. Maybe I've cut the new seasons growth off too early, before the flowers have had a chance to form. I'll try to leave it longer this year, (though its odd that yours looks like that already, and mine is showing no signs of any flowers yet). Regards pollination. I'm sure they're insect, rather than wind. It only takes one busy little bee, (or any other of the various pollinators), to cover an awful lot of little flowers. You must have had a secret intruder in the porch I think!
  12. Well, anyway, I tried out that "regen" function. And it makes the tip function twice as fast, 4 sec instead of 8, for the full stroke. And he thinks? Is there something about the return stroke on the better hydraulic log splitters, that uses this same hydraulic flow function? For the same reason. To speed up the empty return stroke.
  13. Just use Microsoft Defender, built in, free and like Steve said just careful.
  14. 12 foot all the way i've had 9 bags on mine before
  15. After a two man team, for ad hock work Climber and groundsman is fine Must have own transport and reliable equipment Work mostly North East Hampshire/Surrey/West Sussex www.grayshotttreeservices.com
  16. That’s all I use it for to be fair, although I’ve doubled up to get small tops to shift.
  17. Good Morning All.
  18. You’ll have to give some more detail on what you are selling. Reading your description you use a range of words. Are you selling standing live trees? How much volume - would it fill a lorry - about 20 tonnes. How straight is the wood - for the mill or firewood. how good is the access from a road that the lorry can get to? To give you an idea, i sold about 2 acres of mixed species, mixed quality with rubbish access and terrain recently. We barely got any profit after the extraction costs. We were forced to fell as the trees were getting dangerous and falling on a main road.
  19. I would start with blossom wilt, but check the curled leaves to see if anything in living there. You will need to remove all infected growth, cutting back to healthy wood. This material either needs to be burnt or taken away from site. I've had good success with a winter spray of Jays fluid diluted 50/50 with water.
  20. I looked in at the BBC Live coverage of the proceedings a couple of times yesterday and yes, ev'tin TW says ^. Took their trackers er, phones, took pictures, left messages, didn't take scenic route, didn't delete the F out of everything. Right down to the meta-data for the pics giving the exact location of the tree! Seems - like the old boys who did the Hatton Garden job - they just had no idea what those little devices are capable of. I often wonder if there wasn't a cabinet/security meeting about twenty years ago; and someone said, "We are going to introduce a scheme whereby everyone will be forced to carry personal trackers and criminals will be required to film their criminal activity" And everyone just laughed. Then someone said, thoughtfully, "You know, we could make it work if we..." And the rest, as they say, is where you put your arm.
  21. Plug the screw holes and put the rack on Ebay? I have a mate who gets warped planks from me,cuts holes for tea lights,sands and oils them and puts them in a designer furniture shop for £350! Unique,sustainable, locally sourced etc
  22. Yesterday
  23. Got a few singles by the Alarm (or early versions of CD,s as my kids once called em) they where a decent band back in the day and well worth listening to, RIP Mr Peters,,
  24. Not a clue. I don't know much about the natural world.
  25. Theres a space for one I'm training on 12th-24th May if you're quick.
  26. I'm unsure what this is, the fungus looks back and old. A large amount of wood at the base is soft, wet and powdery/crumbly, but I only probed it quickly with a stick. The oak is reasonably sized, has been reduced hard before, and would hit a house if it failed. However I know oak is very strong and resistant, I dont imagine it would fail anytime soon. Sorry for the poor photo, phone was dirty. A neighbouring tree about 50 meters away had Kretzschmaria, which failed with soft rotten roots in december. This looks more like a ganoderma or old turkey tail?
  27. Lots of videos on youtube such as: Dissecting a defect https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxCPy8c8b3w Basics of Tree risk management https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGMcso_2fK8 And as always the Arb Association have some good videos as part of its VET tree course information with most also apply to younger trees https://www.trees.org.uk/Training-Events/VETcert And we are running out next Lantra Professional Tree Inspection on the 9th-11th June. Near Yelverton, Devon. Spaces available. [email protected]. 01822 832232
