Bugger! sounds like a mix problem, you keeping the saws for spare parts?

Check the carb, if it's a D type, that could be the problem.

Went on a family walk today and saw this massive spready crown Oak, split, I wonder how long it will last like this? Nothing underneath but Fields.

I was a little dubious about climbing this Horse Chesnut,the one in the chogging down vid, I certainly didn't want to rig much off it especially since the guy who I was climbing for has zero rigging kit apart from old climbing lines, anyway, I did the tree and even rigged branches off it, no other choice and I turned up to the tree blind, no prior warning of what I had to do.

What edenarb said. For a tree that is leaning against the direction of intended fell. Backleaning.

Split level cut? cut for a tree leaning against the direction of intended fell.

I assume it was installed correctly,I helped with the Horse Chesnut (So maybe not) it had been in maybe three years at the most, the Horse Chesnut bracing was recommended by the local AA approved consultant, the Beech bracing was recommended by the area tree officer. Responsibility is something that can be passed over by some finely worded legal jargon, or maybe not.

I spoke to my old boss this morning who told me about the failed cobra bracing, he said he tries to avoid Cobra bracing because, in his words, "It's Crap" He reckons if your going to brace a big tree use steel cable.
-
I would rather work with a guy with thirty years experience than a new guy with a grasp of the modern lingo. I am not hating, just pointing out a different point of view.
-
Sorry Matty, just looked at your post, the Cobra that failed pulled out when the limb it was on broke off, the same thing happened to a large beech on another site that also shed a limb.
-
I think it's because it has only recently been called a letterbox cut, I know exactly what the cut is as I asked the same question on the Proclimber forum over two years ago as it was always known as a bore cut, around this way at least.
