  1. mate what a thread title .............. like the bollocks to post it
  2. that appears to have ripped right through the areas that would normaly compartmentalise on failure therefor the tree wont be able to self seal adequatley,, this will evetually lead to structural failure over your fence etc perhaps cut back the weight of the limb to avoid the collapse potential & underplant ,, allow time for new plant to grow & then remove this one I would advise you get a visit from a local guy to visually assess but I wouldnt hold out to much hope if I were you .......
  3. wet & bloody windy ........ oh & dark now too ,,,grrrrrrrrrrr
  4. we have a hakkie 1x37 easy [full hydraulics] (bar & chain) a very good machine a japa saw bench 700 i think (circ' Saw blade & screw splitter ) good for smaller lengths a mulitpla 8t petrol splitter which is really handy verstile thing & just had delivered a pto 20T splitter I have had made, going to get the guys to try that owt tommos might sell the hakkie but its not even a year old so 4k wont buy it

  14. nope we have a hakkie '1x37 easy' though this is the big brother
  15. lots of fair points there Rob horses & courses & donkeys for beaches works so far & whilst the domestic market is un regulated /monitored there wont be any movement the last government made far too many stupid rules without attempting to realise the true issues , though most of that government policy came from think tanks & lobby organusations training is excellent,,, the confusion & grey areas of obligation comes in the wording of what ' training consists of ' in context to internal or external & assessed training & capability oh by the way NPTC are starting to offer ITA intergrated training & assessment though not in chainsaw as yet rgds iain
