  1. Any thing to sell a book what a shame for a so called acedemic to generalise many thousands of individuals into a difiined group , It merely highlghts the mans lack of understanding in my opinion I 'd comment further however its not worth it really
  2. merely in response to the more formal piccy above, We havent scheduled any work for it if that makes you happier
  3. Its just a descriptive for the planting shape from above it looks like the outline of a traditional kite nothing clever ...

  5. Hi Ya Dave Yep its a kite of 63 220+ year old limes at an old priory,, really nice place We have recently carried out thermal imaging on the trees & it should be interesting with trees of this age bound to be loads of anolimys & varying degrees of function/disfunction we've been there for quite some time but was actually on site to taken doen 3 H/c with bleeding canker & Honey fungus ,, very very rapid decline from last autumn to now stone dead ,, to the point as we were cutting limb fouls a tree structuraly failed at the root plate & went down in front of our eyes a weird moment to see a tree fall down away from the mewp basket ,,, but cool none the less
  6. The question refered to refunds I dont know , I would doubt it as in order to retail the item it must have first been through the CE approval procedure, I imagine that the approval will have been based on a defined protocol & accepted use the issue of saftey however cannot be directly compared from machine to machine, in the same manner you could with a larger cc chainsaw/ sprocket combo relevant to greater chainspeed, when this item is used it is in my own opinion a very handy addition to the toolbox however , the varients are too wide re machine, task & application ie scrub thicket , bramble etc as the potential for these areas to be contaminated with third party debris flytipped or otherwise therefore the Hse have correctly stepped in.. Back to the tractor mounted pto flail
  7. this was dispatched today as a circular today by email direct from two individuals at the HSE .. HSE Web Communities Arboriculture and Forestry Advisory Webcommunity/ Agriculture and Food Sector SO I thought it wise to share with those who may not be aware or on the circular hit list..

  13. bought ours from them cheap but depending on what you need it to cope with may need cross strengthening
  14. Tony my point is why should the tax payer foot the bill to police an organisations member body when they wont do it themselves and that same body has an element of commercial profit. if the TO's argument is to be accepted to support this programme & thats a big IF their remit is only amenity trees ? So what happens when those practioners of th esaid organisation do poor tree work outside of the To's remit A Flawed plan me thinks or will the TO it for FREE to suggest I'm confrontational !, the boot on other foot, what about others swerve the discussion by making comments proporting to not understand the question due to geographical of cultural difference. I hope that clears it up for you ? if not I'll try again
  15. by Amentity does this therefore equate to worthy of conservation through location or tpo through value added to its surrounding & enjoyment of those who view it or vistas it adds to or creates those trees who fall outside of those perameters may not be by deinition of the T&C rev 2006 be worthy or be capable of preservation due to owbership or location , & if not should poor pratice be accepted ? Clearly not but does that fall within the remit of nato TO's NO it doesnt , So lets not get free work done in managing a scheme run by a commercial company ,who have just spent £700K on a new home dont think it has owt to do with cross peninne mis communication... Do YOU
  16. PS – LA TOs are charged with managing ‘amenity’ trees in the urban environment (or similar) are they not? This includes private trees both TPO’d/CA and those that are not. Hence surely it is entirely within their remit. The LAs, the largest respondent group, were keen to see more ‘policing’ of the scheme and hence discussions with NATO promoted an approach of engaging with them nationally for the benefit of ‘amenity trees’ and the industry as they are very well placed so to do. Whilst technically we may fit the description of a ‘private venture’ (I’m really not sure?!) we are a registered charity and an industry body available to all Paul so the suggestion is that TO's paid from the public purse would only report incidents of poor practice on amentity trees I see that will work then ..........Not & the AA are solely a charity!!!! & not a private venture . my mistake. I thought you had a commercial profit making arm too
  17. Hi Paul How does this work as Chas is an Annually renewed & assessed criteria from my understanding aaac is not annually inspected
  18. Comment from the AA: The AA recognises that better marketing of the AA & AAAC/RC schemes are required along with promotion of the standards. The AA’s new website will be launched in April 2010 and this will prominently lead browsers to “Find a Professional” Who will that incude THEN ?????????? AAAc only if so are others not professional ? .... Yet more them & us
  19. 8c- The issue of LA TOs etc. ‘policing’ the standards locally again came up with a suggestion for simplified complaints/notification procedure to be agreed between the AA & NATO members for reporting of incidents. the use of tax payers money to support a private venture NAUGHTY
  20. Comment from the AA: Overall approx. 80% of respondents agreed to this proposal. Some comments address several questions (which is not untypical of the comments in general, I think somerespondents just made comments as they came into their minds) Well that says it all really doesnt it ............ Whats the point of asking when you have a mind set like that........
  21. anyone heard good or bad Japa 700tr ? juggleing between palax , hallke & Japa its defo got to be blade over bar though
