Nice day for it today. I had Steve Walker of Heartwood tree technicians in climbing for me today. The job was an Ash to dismantle over about 8 telephone lines, a road, a wall, a gas tank and a fence. It had a little bit of ivy on it in places. A quick chat about how we were going to go about it and Steve headed up. It took 4:45 minutes of climbing to strip it to a pole we could fell. Apparently he'd had a hard week so far which is why he was taking his time. Quick brew up the tree. Finally all down. Big thanks to Steve, Honky and Fly the dawg.

I got a husky 254 with heated handles today for £50 from the bloke next to where we were working. Runs sweet and the heated handles work. Just need to get a 13" bar for it now and swap it back to .325.

Shifted some Alder logs today with my ifor Williams swing lift trailer. It saves a lot of hard work. .

I doubt either would happen. It's more likely that the British buyers would talk, bitch and bicker about it than ever do anything, it's what we do best.

If the kit is going abroad at least foreigners aren't using it over here to under cut every one. So they are bringing money into the country and paying over the odds (more than any one else at the auction) and still they get twined about. If you could import a great chipper from Europe and save a fortune would you worry about the other people?

The British builders did the same in the 80s going over to Germany and taking there work. IMO builders needed a bit of a wake up call.

I thought 3 way locking was only essential for ppe and screw gates and 2 way was fine for rigging? The chance of it opening are super slim IMO. It's only for light rigging and will probably be used as a redirect more than a main anchor point.

I'll find out tomorrow if your splices hold.

Not sure I'll check later. Here is a link to the same thing on treestuff.com https://www.treestuff.com/store/catalog.asp?category_id=328&item=2006#detail

Yeah you have to push it then slide it a bit then push it and open it fully.

Try roofrite in Carnforth, they sometimes have damaged sheets in.

Barnfields could get you a tank from a scrapped mower I'd of thought.

I had a 4 wheel drive Kawasaki klf 300 that I used to tow my timberwolf 150 about with. It was brilliant, I kept it outside for 4 years and it never had a fault. I paid £500 for it and sold it to a mate for £400 after 4 years.

Might of been one of tims jobs, looks like his kind of pruning work

Not me mate, my ladders and gypsy stick wouldn't reach that far.

4 chocolate bars a day will do that to you mate.

That ain't a big ash, I've had bigger splinters than that. Good work mate, hope you worked steve hard he needs to lose a few lbs.

My 361 runs a 13" bar on 3/8. If your running a 440 and 660 on 3/8s I'd leave it on that.

I had to double check that email address
