Will give you some great climbing practice too mate. Get them spikes on and away you go!

Looks a very bonny little thing. Can you show us the rest of her face?

"Ace Adventures" That sound slike a title of a book. Do you think grandad would do a book sometime? Sure it would sell loads
-
As usual Liam, a pleasure to see your work pics. Tree was sure gone at the base but a nice bit of firewood there. Who did the fell, didnt look like Grandad Ace?

Ok, if you want to take this further, can you specify what i stated that you didnt say? The way i understand it, you quoted it to be "understandable" for someone to have a tree topped due to financial reasons, and then went on to say if you were to top a tree you would hopefully get future work from it, even though you know it is not an acceptable practice. That to me is putting financial gain before tree health.

I thought we got to that point last night

Funnily enough................................:lol:

You guys should try using spellcheck. The thread is clearly called "rate my hinge"

Spikes for LOLER?
-
Hopefully i will get pics tomorrow of the winch assisted fells of ash. Just wondering, do we get extra points for winch assisted hinges?
-
Ah, i see now. The plastic ones are the force open type and ally ones are the lifting type. Its all become clear now. I will remember for next LOLER check.
-
I dont get any benifit from spiking live trees as i dont do it. Obviously your first priority is financial not tree health, so i dont value your opinion.
-
But why? They dont "lift" as high as "high" lift ones:confused1:
-
No, its not derailing. You seem to think an excuse such as shortage of money is "understandable" to top a tree, whereas, you seem to be offended about spiking a live tree. I personally believe topping a healthy tree would have much more long term detrimental effects than spiking it. I just wondered if you could expand on your opinion.
-
No, you said it was understandable. Why is it so you can make an excuse for bad practice due to a shortage of money?
-
Really? Why is that?
-
Just curious, is it a heaped load or a level one, and roughly will that be a ton?
-
Where would you camp fella?
-
Think it might end up as a new kitchen floor. There were 12 planks in total, 1 inch thick. average 18" wide. Enough for a floor 10 foot by 15 foot easy i recon.

And the resting place for the milled stuff for the next year or so;

Can you believe it FRANK even brings his own canteen! Took nearly two hours for him to heat up his dinner. Anything to get out of handling the puzzle;

?

In what way uneconomic fella? I must have misunderstood, i thought you were talking about buying new. What exactly are you looking for? I have a TD5 double cab that will be for sale in a few months if you are interested?
-
Too right Dave, every situation is different and every tree is too. I think it was big ammer said we as arbs tend to do more complex fells than timber fallers due to dealing with so many trees with defects. There are no hard and fast rules, only general guides based upon a "typical" situation.
