Just to be clear, the reason your tree isnt worth anything as timber is that the cost of extraction to roadside far outweighs the value of the wood. If you had 50 of them in a nice stack at roadside then you would be able to sell to a sawmill. As your tree is in a back garden it will need to be sawn into small enough pieces to carry out or move with a small machine, and the cost of that work will be more than the value of the tree as unprocessed firewood. Once the tree is sawn up it is useless to a sawmill.

Did the company that felled the tree not want to buy the timber from you?

Leaks don't generally fix themselves, and if it seems to stop its probably because all the oil has leaked out.

Very nice Mark.

Where is the job? -
Travelling and working worldwide
Peter replied to Jack Price's topic in International Arborist Forum
Get on one of the American forums, you should be able to hook up with a firm in Cali. -
Tracked chipper in hampshire for very uneven terrain
Peter replied to Rowden the cowboy's topic in General chat
The Greenmech Safetrak system is very good for uneven terrain, although the 19-28 isnt quite as big as you want it is a very capable machine. I would have thought your best bet for the type of machine you describe would be a railway contractor, its not the sort of thing your going to find at your local hire shop. -
I'll be there!

This thread isn't about static rope, read the op.

“Survey Reveals Arbtalkers Prefer to Make Stuff and Lunge”
Peter replied to Albedo's topic in The Lounge
You must be really bored. -
I dont think you understand what a static line is. There is no added stretch in a static line, thats why its called static. Anyway my point was that if you are snatching big lumps of timber you need a big rope, at least 16mm, buying a stretchy 14mm rope won't do the same job.
-
Never used nystron, sounds similar to Yale Polydyne in terms of ability to absorb shock loads etc. If you do lots of shock loading it might be worth it, but why would you get a 14mm rope for snatching lumps of timber?

If you like the tree magic I would say go for the Sequoia. The Harkie is big and comfy, like an overstuffed armchair, the Sequoia is stripped down and streamlined, good for ease of movement.

They do get wet inside, ventilation is the only way to prevent condensation. They aren't all that secure either, especially if the thief is equipped with a big crane lorry.

I'd be looking for a new loler inspector.

Nice one Chris, any pics?
-
Class one should be adequate protection, best advice I can give you is to not stick a saw in any part of your body, ppe regardless. Even class 2 ppe wont stop a bigger saw at full revs. Anything will be better than your chaps, if you've had them a few years they will be useless.

At 2 miles a week, your going to wear a set out every 500 years.

Mine has done just over 50 hours from new, no problems so far, only time I'v had a spanner on it is for knife turning and regular maintenance. What was the issue with the roller spring?
-
Can't really help much with your quest, as I'm sure you are aware modern harnesses are generally designed for freedom of movement so won't support your lower back in the way you want. Do you think the treeflex is aggravating your back issues?
-
Do you normally do such huge distances? You should really think about offsetting your carbon footprint, its people like you guzzling fossil fuels that are going to spoil it for the rest of us.
-
For sure. Used it for years before I knew what is was called.
-
Paint finest!

You are correct.

That must be some kind of record? The biggest rabbit iv seen was only about 4 feet stretched right out.
