I'm sure there was a thread similar to this a while back, but regardless I think we have a winner! A Storm Knocked This Tree Over, And A Skeleton Was Found Hanging From The Roots | IFLScience

you're not selling it mate

what sort of mileage on the missus please?

Actually I cant remember the last time I had to do a horrible conifer reduction...im talking about the ones that are 15ft wide, 200ft long and take a couple days. Constant lopper work is a killer on the elbows

always seem to come in fits and starts. Would be nice for them to be evenly spread out!

Just spent a half hour on easy books Peter, I think I could adapt to that pretty easily, cheers

Thats quite a few that are potentially affected then

If only!! Standard tools, chainsaw for bigger stuff, hand saw, and loppers. A small crowbar can come in handy for stubborn pieces.

Better still download the fungi app and always have it to hand wherever you are Smart Phone Apps for Arborists - Brought to you by Arbtalk

i'll download it and run a trial months books and see what I think. Cheers

I don't really want to upgrade quick books as I really want to get away from using windows. I currently run it through parallels on the Mac but it would be nice to find an alternative solution so I can bin parallels once and for all. I'm very comfortable with quick books though so am reluctant to move away from it. I might give easy books a look though

Never had to change a single spark plug on mine. I run aspen, wonder if that helps?

Thanks for sharing

Cheers Peter, srt is for gear freaks, I was thinking crane

Can anyone identify this for me? Customer wants to know if it tolerates hard pruning. I'm guessing yes

i'm still on good old quickbooks 2005 edition here. I suppose I will have to change it at some point

Fantastic Simon, you deserved to win with that

Very occassionally use a prussik and every time it reminds me how much hard work it is not to mention inefficient

No I didn't Jon, just too much going on at the moment.

This is certainly the case, more so for the likes of Honey brothers etc than the big machinery dealers

Glad it wasn't a waste of time for you Dean

ok...no longer recommended

plastic wedges aren't a patch on the old metal ones. I still own and use them in preference to plastic
