Name one then. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Sorry. The tree is in CA but the development site isn't. I am looking for any relevant legal information from the T&CPA. It's not a big deal as common sense prevails, (AIA because of the potential for impact upon a tree in a CA). I have never come across this before and wonder if a precedent has been set somewhere.

The Lounge just needs to be removed and the 99% of the tedious drivel will just disappear along with it.

Well it appears you aren't what's his face off the Hood!

I used a large motorcycle chain link, all the hyd levers on my tractor are the same.

Hi,the cheaper version of the tester has anyone had any luck getting replacement low pressure shrader valves for these?

Does your crane struggle to slew with a load on even slightly steep ground? Mine does.

Morning, frost here and blue skys. Tough day on the pinch and spade yesterday and a long 1 tomorrow so having an easy day today. Think I’ll go a wee drive in the tractor and walk the dog.

They’ll last as long as you do, unless you run them over with an Avant, then they won’t

Report back when I've done a few with it. Did have a quick tickle of a conny and it didn't seem too bad, the nob is a quite nice point to grab when adjusting the head.

I noticed myself resting the saw on my right leg while undercutting yesterday, feels completely natural to take the weight off the arms. Was using my Mak 9010 which weighs as much as a small car, only way you can do it really.

Well, I never new that.

Had them both with me and remembered to do a video. I've been using both for hedging. Feels similar in capabilty. This was cutting lime. However from the video, the Makita appears twice as quick, likely due to the .325 vs 1/4" chain. Cheapy feels like it has quicker chain speed. VID-20250923-WA0002.mp4 First cuts, Makita 3 vs cheapy 6 seconds. The second Makita cut was a smaller peice than cheapy, but 8 vs 17 seconds, its a lot quicker. The Makita has needed some chain tightening (loosen, unloosen the nut) while the cheapy has needed nothing so far. I'd want to do more testing before I'd recommend either. Today didnt climb with them, just for snedding on the ground.

When chainsaw milling, even with a full size loader for the lifting, I find turning logs through 90 degrees and restarting the cut direction a bit challenging. Its easy to go out of square. Generally I start off making thick slabs for lower quality work (posts, outdoor furniture or even a small bridge once). Then I make narrower boards towards the middle where, when they are dried I will remove the heart and call the outsides quarter sawn. Then I make some thick stuff again at the bottom of the log. I re-stack the boards in order so I know what is what. Of course it depends if you have a long enough bar and enough wood to do this.

Premiums can vary a lot depending on coverage limits, claims history, and whether you’re doing consulting or high-risk tree work. I found shopping through brokers helped—especially ones familiar with arborist policies. I also log all client communications and quotes through Phonexa, so I have proof of scope and timing if there’s ever a dispute. It keeps my liability low and my records clean.

Everything is a long time ago with us mate 😀
