Reducing a small 15ft hornbeam tree yesterday and severed my arm with my topping saw. Ive never come across a tree with so many branches crossing each other causing so much tension and compression, this is what caught me out. Going for a operation to repair arm sunday. Just a reminder to take care out there. .:001_smile::thumbup:

Hope it's not to bad fella and hope all ok for you to resume work very soon. It's a constant danger of what we do. But never nice when it does.take care and am sure you'll be back at it before you know it.
