    I want to know how he got the first wedge underneath it

    Tell us the story then Mark. I had a close one also with a poplar a few years ago, probably the closest call I had. Out on a long lateral with one directly above it. I was stood on the branch that I was going to cut, and holding the branch above it to steady myself. It was quite elongated and bowing over. I knew it was going to release somewhat when I cut the end off but felt I had gone far enough out to minimise this. Anyway as I cut the end off it catapaulted up, banged into the limb above, about an inch away from my hand. The force would have literally crushed my hand to bits I suspect. That was a lucky escape and made me think a bit more carefully after. We learn by our mistakes they say...I could have learnt the hard way that day

    That was beautiful

    Well it doesn't look like I can be too picky at the moment does it ? And yes mate, that sounds perfect. Hopefully you have it in a decent resolution? If you can post it here you can email me at [email protected] Thanks

    In 22 years i only once had the pleasure of climbing a monkey puzzle. Thankfully it was dead, cut and drop, and I got away with zero scratches. Guess I got lucky!

    i've had a berberis thorn in my back for years, pretty certain it never came out or broke down. Can feel it still. I did go to the doctors at the time but he didn't want to prod about with it too much as it was so close to my spine.

    Can't believe not a single person has an exciting pole saw action shot? ?

    pump truck?
  10. Steve Bullman
    I think thats a reasonable estimate. Looks like you can get a truck right up to it. 2 men would knock that out in a day pretty easily. Removing the chip and timber would be the biggest factor regarding the price

    Does anyone have an image or multiple images of a manual pole saw in use that I could use for an article please?
  12. Steve Bullman
    I've never heard of this either. The sensible option would be go climb a little higher and take a smaller lump. Can't see the send in attempting a dog tooth up a tree for the sake of it where it might not be that easy to view the cut from all angles to make sure its spot on

    I have an old article from Guy Mueller I was going to post on this very subject actually. Will try and do it later. The blades on the silkys are second to none but im still a fan of the wolf pole. They cutting blade isn't terrible either
  14. Steve Bullman
    exactly
  15. Steve Bullman
    its contoured to fit the right diameter of rope so it grips right. Too big a cam will mean gripping reliability will be compromised, too small a can will make it too hard to adjust
  16. Steve Bullman
    Nice to hear you're doing well Kev ?
  17. Steve Bullman
    If you are referring to this guy who seems to be a demi-god of chainsaw repairs, then yes...we have our very own @spudulike

    who/what is the saw king?
  19. Steve Bullman
    I don't know about that. There could be valid health concerns. I was once told humans can get botulism from Pigeon crap. Can't find anything about that specifically online though. https://www.watershedcouncil.org/uploads/7/2/5/1/7251350/sea_grant_botulism_fact_sheet.pdf

    theres a bug in the new tip site directory update. working on it
  21. Steve Bullman
    i've submitted a support ticket as I can't find the problem

    This is a common theme, and regardless of telling them to watch out for wire there is nearly always something they throw in the pile, or roots etc. I generally just ask them to put it to the side and we chuck it through, assuming its just a small amount
  23. Steve Bullman
    No brainer then really, specially if it does the job
  24. Steve Bullman
    I have a mate who buys all his merc 3.5t vans from Ireland and makes a substantial saving
  25. Steve Bullman
    bit dangerous mate, he doesn't even have chainsaw trousers on! Hows that grinder?
