Very nice David, and unusual. The one with the Pines in the woodland has quite a spooky look to it!
-
Will pass judgement on that when the next couple of months is over. That is following the VAT increase and the massive hike in energy prices thats also due. Time will tell.

Does that cover East Yorks too Allan? What part of Lincs are you from?

Think the correct term is "liquidation auction" Johnny:laugh1:

:001_rolleyes:

Think Im gonna ring Robson Kay tomorrow and ask about saws, otherwise i wont be there.
-
Just for you Johnny! :lol:

Probably one of the best. Following Vermeer of course:sneaky2:

Ace piece of kit. They even fire tea bags:lol:

Might be in the old school here, but have a few XTC plus and really like them, easy to handle, reliable and will do anything any other rope will. However, I still occasionally go back to my old faithful arbormaster. Somehow it just feels more "my" rope.

Sycamore/Maple is commonly used as butchers blocks too.
-
Mine didnt! All it did was wrap the shaft and bung the spout. Only time in 5 years it ever got blocked.
-
So has anyone any idea where the saws have gone? Will they be there but not listed? Bit strange. Also no mention of climbing/rigging kit:confused1:
-
Cool Johnny, looks like you all had a blast. The snow must have added to the atmosphere too. Cheers for sharing:thumbup:

North of Cumbria and Yorkshire? Didnt know there was such a place:lol:

Hope you guys in NZ dont get too battered by the winds. Let us know how you fair.

This is the type of thing that may happen around here Matt after seeing the amount of dead ones there are. Would be nice to offer a reasonable way of disposal without being worried how we are to deal with them. I am now starting to think it may be worth trying some stems through the chipper (I have one to try with of my own:sneaky2:) and possibly look at marketing the fronds as exellent kindling:thumbup1: There are going to be lots of these things to deal with in the near future:001_rolleyes:

Tosh also!

Guess me and Bob will have to be the eastern northerners then, you lot will be the wealthy western ones paying for brew and butties:thumbup:

Looks like you got it down tractor man, but just out of curiosity, how much did you get for the job, and how did you get rid of the stuff?
-
Funnily enough, it was as a result of wrapping the flywheel of my G/Mech that stopped me trying to chip them any more:001_rolleyes: Perhaps I ought to try one through the Vermeer some time, but following past experience, I dont fancy hours of unwinding the stuff from that beast!
-
Promoting unqualified work practices to potential clients, and giving a "not worth the effort" attitude is not the way I run my business. However if there were positive advice to be offered to said possible clients, it may be financially very viable:thumbup: These things are truely a pain to get rid of, and as some have said regeneration can often occur, but does anyone know a "best pruning height" to cut the stumps to, and possibly any "best time of year" it should be carried out, and should so many shoots be removed following regeneration?
-
Just a thought, but over the last few weeks Ive noticed almost every Cordyline in our area has been affected by the recent hard weather. Most have collapsed tops, that in my experience means they are usually dead. All the ones I have tried to dispose of in the past, bung up saws, will not chip and dont even burn! Just curious what you guys do to get rid of them as I can see there being an influx of requests to dispose of these poor palms in the near future.

Nice introduction, and welcome:thumbup:
