I seem to remember, not that long ago, an unbelievable amount of tax payers money being wasted on a Covid track and trace system that never worked. I have serious doubts that they could even manage this idea, even if everyone wanted it. If only there was a way to coherence people into having one, just like the Covid jabs, if only the was an ‘invasion’ of some sort that could be stopped, but allowed to continue, that might help push it over the line.

echo 4310 maybe Very good power to weight ratio and most modern pro 40cc saw i think?

I could swear I posted already! Enjoy your Friday safely please! Tom just told us of a story from Santa Pod. A team with a 9 second car (right fast), accidentally put diesel in the tank and not race fuel. On realising the error, they drain the tank and refill. But neglected to do the hoses (big diameter), filter (huge) or rail and fired it up. The thing worked but the pall of smoke caused such a frightening that the fire marshal's shut the track as they thought there was a pit fire! Laughing stock now is that team! Curve, Offal

Thanks guys, someone had suggested to me previously a topper would be better for me. I've never used a flail and assumed for a small machine would be lighter and handier. I'll have a look to see what's available for a small machine, any recommendations? I'm in Sussex if that helps re suppliers etc.

Lots and lots of everything.

Ive just bought a 461. What a fun saw that is. Used but well maintained, ran on motomix so I'll continue to do the same. Ive found it so much better on fuel than my old 034.

Blunt spikes are dangerous and hard work. Sharpen them your self with a flat file on Buckinghams I just file two edges and remove the burr from the third edge.

Monday and tuesday this week. Western Red Cedar. Around 48" dbh, maybe 100ft tall, 7 stemmer. Everything left onsite in the back yard.

Reminds me of Alvin..

Opposite buds fit the bill (ha!). I really don't know for sure, I reckon acer is a good shout. Bark looks like Rosaceae of sorts, or Lime, possibly even alder, but the buds don't fit the last two.

Quality as always mate.

Dont forget to register your gear on Steves Security Verification ARBSAFE.CO.UK If you scroll down it shows that kit has been recovered.

I think that only leaves Jaqui from Pentangle.

I dont think it has become a political hate forum at all. Yes some of the lounge threads can get a bit OTT at times but so what, Its the lounge section, ignore it if you must. The only way the forum can get back to the 'old days' of Arb/forestry/gear/woodwork talk if us as members move it in that direction by posting up new threads or resurrecting old ones. Forget the threads that annoy you, you wouldnt sit in a pub wasting your time listening to some shite on the next table if it didnt interest you. There are loads of members in here that are really helpful with vast amounts of knowledge, dont let a few posts/threads put you off.

I've had one for 5 years and it still decent. Yes it has its teething problems but ive done some decent size trees and felt safe and comfortable

I think that is Dyers Mazegill, non edible, but used for its dye, hence the name.

Every days a school day! You never stop learning!

Perhaps if I were a rank amateur I'd go for that size. It's a retrieval ball for an item I haven't owned in years. Can't bring myself to get rid of it.

This is why forwarders got levelling rams tor the kingpost mount. The slewing is by rams working a rack against a smallish diameter ring gear, poor torque but if it's level and the load in free air no problem. My cranab 4510 exerts a fair slewing force for dragging long lengths but fails if it is not level, even with four 4" rams acting on the ring gear. A digger has a motor with a small gear working on a large diameter ring gear doesn't it? Big mechanical advantage.

There is nothing specific about this in legislation, and I am not aware of any case law. The LPA has 2 roles. It has to decide if the trees are important enough to be protected, this can be relevant to trees on and off site. If important they should be retained and protected. BS5837 etc blah blah. What is questionable is whether it should be protecting what amounts to encroachment and possible common law nuisance. It also has to decide whether the CA tree is so important for the amenity of the area that it should be TPOd. The reason is that generally a planning application replaces the need for a separate CA notification or TPO application. So it could TPO the tree and prevent any development that would harm it. This could exceed the RPA, which is really just a temporary made up thing that only preserves about 1/4 of the roots. Remember, CAs don't imply the trees are important. It's jsut a precaution to allow the LPA to decide if they are in the context of any threat to their remvoal or harm.
