theres been above average traffic on arbtalk today...im assuming many of you didnt bother working? I worked the morning....would much rather just not have bothered though!
-
if you buy a saw mail order any dealer should carry out the warranty work...they wont like it. but i think im right in saying as a dealer they are bound by it?

Mulching trees with root diseases

thanks chris, is that your main area of work? -
welcome christreeroot

these ideas are merely us bored climbers looking for new stuff to try out!! get the hang of using a pulley and advanced hitch to start with, then you can start playing around. it only looks complicated because its all new!
-
personally i use a v.t on anything, but if you are just starting to experiment with advanced hitches i'd suggest playing around with a few, probably begin with a distel. theres quite a few knots here to look at http://www.mytreelessons.com

tockmal....i think bill probably knows a bigger saw would be best, but wants to know if this set up will get him by....the answer is yes, just not very efficiently!

hi bill, welcome to the forums. i dont have an ms260 but i know that an 18" bar is within the recommended guide bar length in the stihl catalogue. In my experience saws in general run ok with the maximum length guide bar recommended, but sharpening is more crucial...ie, if you are running a small bar and the slightly lose the edge you wont feel it as much, with the maximum length bar you'll be working harder straight away if that makes sense
-
the problem is when teaching people, how do you assess who are the muppets??? therefore it makes it easier to just say no one handing period!
-
you've posted a lot of pics in the past of extremely well shaped trees matty, keep it up!

thanks gerry, very odd how it was at the same point in each cut...that wasnt coincidence, so there must be a specific reason for it.

Mulching trees with root diseases
Steve Bullman replied to Steve Bullman's topic in Tree health care
i wish i'd taken a pic now. both trees are mature, im guessing 180 years. together they form one even crown and make a very attractive centerpiece to the whole garden, hence shes reluctant to fell it. -
looks like you have yours set considerably further away from yourself than i used to

Mulching trees with root diseases
Steve Bullman replied to Steve Bullman's topic in Tree health care
no targets unless there happened to be someone walking under it at the time...its a private garden though and i told her the risks and my recommendations! the beech are planted in a pair, probably about 15ft apart....one beech is healthy, i'm assuming the liklihood of the other beech getting meriplius is also high? -

well she definetly doesnt want to lose it, she'd rather have some minimal work done on it to make it as safe as possible. i told her it was on its way out, no getting away from that!
