    Agreed, not the pruning. Had to zoom in just to see the pruning cuts. It was a good job as far as that part of the story went
  2. Steve Bullman
    They are at least 35 tonnes...each

    Sorry. Just reminded me of a local aerial company round my way who have the slogan on their vans 'satisfaction guaranteed with every erection'

    What Mark said, don't waste your time getting one here. When they first came out they were great, then the changed the law limiting them to 5(something or other, forget how they are measured..maybe mah) which is next to useless.

    I bet theres plenty not even charging £450 Mike

    Have you used the tip site directory to drop wood chip or logs? Please leave a short testimonial below, thanks
  9. Steve Bullman
    I bet they weren't satisfied with that erection

    its great what you find when looking at stock image sites though
  11. Steve Bullman
    Really need some images of waste timber tipped up, in a driveway or similar. I did put out a request via email to all the tip site owners in the directory, but it seems its too much to ask for a photo in exchange for all the free chips and timber people are getting. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. preferably high-quality photos. email to [email protected]

    Wow thats some silky cut!
  13. Steve Bullman
    It is steel cable. The rods I were referring to were eye rods through the trunk for anchoring the wire
  14. Steve Bullman
    Not 100% sure and without seeing the site it would be hard for anyone to say. Personally I’d just crack on by the sounds of it. Although a good written risk assessment and a banksman would be a good idea
  15. Steve Bullman
    Yes it would. The tree has a tpo on it so would need to give good justification. That would be a heavy reduction. Climbing inspection will help
  16. Steve Bullman
    I would say its been up there a long time. At a guess I would say it was possibly installed at the same time as the reduction was carried out, which at a guess is over 20 years. So my concern is it has way too much tension on it as a result of the regrowth. I have recommended a closer aerial inspection in my report.

    haha, stupid spammers

    Picus showed the trunk to be sound surprisingly
  19. Steve Bullman
    ah got it. Wasn't showing on my browser
  20. Steve Bullman
    what link are you looking at exactly? I killed the directory ages ago
  21. Steve Bullman

    Stihl 044

    Steve Bullman replied to lash98's topic in Chainsaws

    bizarrely someone only asked me yesterday where the best place is to sell an 044. I will get him to contact you
  23. Steve Bullman
    Basically it went something like this, but higher up
  24. Steve Bullman
    Not quite sure the correct terminology for this type of bracing, but whilst doing a picus test the other day and a visual inspection, I noticed some old cable bracing installed in this decent sized chestnut. The primary concern was the first limb. but the cable bracing (Steel with rods) had been installed in the main stem (on the right) then to the middle stem, and then a second one from the center stem to the first lateral, all in a line. I'm not sure what the implications of this are for the central stem. Opinions please? Attached pics but its kinda hard to see what I mean, and you ant really see the bracing.

    Thank you, hope it works for all of us
