I can't think of any other fruit with as much variation in every characteristic. An unnamed Devon cider apple and a Pitmaston Pineapple. Apples are the equivalent of dogs, heavy is the the hand of man.

yes, I recall that was a later model, an old trick to play when we were kids was to bumpstart an old bsa bantam field bike by pushing it backwards, and then offer a go on it to the many asking, they would put in in gear and let the clutch out expecting it to go forwards, but it went backwards instead. pretty soon everyone had caught on.

Its not the saw that's dangerous,its the idiots using it ,if it isn't a top handle it will be a ground saw used off ladders...its about time people who buy a saw take accountability for using it , maybe they will realise how complex and dangerous tree surgery is. No doubt the hse will lump all accidents together -rather than splitting them between home owners and professionals .

Nooooooooo don't do it! Cut trees instead!!!

Bob The Dog replied to sandspider's topic in General chat
Home - Hillcard Ltd HILLCARD.CO.UK Hillcard Ltd These guys are at Bodenham, just a few miles north of Hereford. Had some sleepers from them a few years ago. Prices and service good, and they had a decent range from memory. -

@Andy full Education/training wise the obvious next step is to do your Level 4. This will open the door to tree officer and consultant roles, but will also bring a lot to your every day Arb work. In the meantime, a change is as good as a rest - it sounds like you're just stuck in a bit of a rut where you are and who you're working with, and have become the go to person for big dismantles. Lots of decent firms inside the M25 rely on good subby climbers for nice reductions, deadwooding etc. I'd do a bit of market research on companies in whatever bit of London you want to end up in and reach out to them for a few shifts. You can have a lot of variety and if you're good you can pick and choose who you work for. You could keep an eye out for Arborist jobs with the City of London who have in-house teams that look after Hampstead Heath and Eppong Forest. Otherwise I think the Royal Parks have contractors do their tree work and local authorities will have a mix. As others have said IRATA /Industrial rope access is another option with lots of work in on London, but I've never met someone in rope access that wasmt working on their exit strategy out of the industry.

Who buys Norway Spruce and Thuja in the Southwest?
spuddog0507 replied to Paul73's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
Oliver Coombs at timber auctions in york would be a good man to talk to as he would auction it off as a standing sale for you , so basicaly sold to a harvesting crew who would cut process and remove from site so you wouldnt need to do owt only watch and take a few photos and then take payment,, -
cordless angle grinder? As above, repairing fences manualyl is pretty soul destroying. Replacing the odd post is fine, but if its more than that (and it must be if the wire is rusting) its getting to the stage of full replacement.

Look I'll admit its a bit weird. But why did it leave two saws dry as a done and hot within a short space of time. Replacing bars and saws is expensive and not something I want to experiment with. Im going to try gator oil next. Ive used petrol or acetone with a brass wire brush. Horrible job though.

Mitsubishi L200 2.5 Kingcab (2 doors, 4 seats), 109,677 miles - MOT for 12 months. This 5 speed manual diesel pick up has been professionally converted in to a hydraulic tipper, this conversion was carried out in 2021 and the truck has been used little since, as it was purchased to complete a job in a inaccessible place. The tipper is constructed using a steel box frame, a steel plate bed and removable aluminium sides/ rear tailgate, so it can be easily converted in to a flatbed if required. The hydraullic tipping bed is controlled by an in-cab remote control on a lead, it controls the up and down operation (please see photos and video). The bed size is 6'2'' long x 5'6'' wide. To my knowledge the hydrullic pump and ram were new at the time of fitting. The truck was last serviced at 109, 441 miles with a engine and gearbox oil change plus filters etc., however it could do with some of the auxillary belts changing as they squeal under load. The truck itself is in used condition, it starts first time with no smoke and pulls along a full load with no issues. If you are looking for a pristine vehicle then this one probably isn't for you, however if you want a dependable workhorse then it definatly fits the bill. Bank transfer as payment, no canvassers, salespeople or oil scammers!£4,850
