  1. Another useful video from treestuff.com explaining the difference between utility poles for tree work
  2. I expect the price difference will be enough that there’s a market for them both
  3. Hows the 540 going? I used to enjoy using mine till it broke. Been sitting in pieces ever since. I plan to fix it and sell it eventually
  4. Some might argue it wouldn't do anything. But any wounding to a tree beyond which is necessary should be avoided. If you can't climb without spikes then get someone in who can do it. Spikes for removals only I took some cross sections from some previously spiked Beech trees several years ago, wish I still had them. every wound had healed over nicely inside but the scarring was quite visible on the outside to the trained eye.
  5. This isn't new technology to Stihl, its been in operation on their cut off saws for a while now, so in theory we can hopefully expect the niggles to have been sorted out already.
  6. Maybe there. Over here its too wet to be running loaders over grass 90% of the time
  7. The guy made a mistake simple as. I doubt most people are up in arms about it as much as the arb community seems to be.
  8. Yes. No visible fungi anywhere though
  9. if all these tools had been listed on arbsafe for FREE they could be back with their rightful owners by now......but what can ya do
  10. Don’t come across these often. Complete failure at about 20ft
  11. Surprising how tall some of those woodland cherries can get
  12. Never heard of it! What is it? Can’t be bothered to google
  13. reminds me of a few years back after numerous complaints about there never being any events up North, Gustharts set up a show...and yep you guessed it, numbers were pretty poor. There were even some people complaining it was too far south One guy did travel down from Inverness though to be fair
  14. What a beast. Would be interesting to see exactly what the job was
  15. confused. It looks like it fell in the direction of the pull line?
  16. Its not the easiest service to sell, it is worthwhile though on some trees.
  17. not a consultancy no,not me anyway. You have to be clever for that malarky. I'm going to be doing picus testing for a local company who don't have the time to do it themselves. They will write up the actual reports.
