Stihl 261 or husky 550 as above are the standard for that size bar. Beyond 16" bars they are under powered. They are good on 13-16"

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.

Happy Friday dudes . Can see no stars this morning so must be over cast .9c at the moment .

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

^David Icke. 25 years ago. So put that in your tinfoil hat and smoke it. I'm not suggesting you have a tinfoil hat, by the way. I am 100% against mandatory ID cards too. I'm just saying that the games that those in power play, don't change. Not that it matters, if you have a driving license, or a passport, they have your face on file.

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.

That was supposed to read flails last 4 seconds on rock impact!

I guess other people have noticed that it's a massive Mast Year. Round here the Oaks and Horse Chestnuts are absolutely loaded. (Well, most are on the ground now. Or in our house, courtesy of my son.) Same with everything else, trees and shrubs that bear fruit/nuts/seeds. Fruit trees have all had a bumper crop. They're all earlier than normal also. Looking forward to a plentiful Chestnut harvest in a few weeks hopefully. Anyone got any better photos? I took these rather underwhelming ones on a short walk around this afternoon.

I can’t store it Dan, the ram is too high.

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.
