Looking at the first photo I see there has already been massive cambium damage uncured?
-
Was the original speck for the pollarding down to leattiporus or did it flourish post pollarding David?
-
At that height and dbh I would age them around 60 .. The ones I have done and doing soon are around that and bigger than that description.. It is a myth yew grows slowly!!
-
Yew will recover , he will be unlucky if they don't !! from my experience only one in ten seem to give up... I've mutilated a few, I have one that has just come back from planning on Friday to turn in too a 6ft stump.. I will mill the timber ... Tree will grow back... Don't see what the problem is really ... Pollards outlast any tree given no management at all is how I would justify it.

Mk 4 transit..a ms200 ,husky 288 and hs 80 hedge cutters. Spent a couple of years brashing down and got a gravely 6" chipper that fell to bits daily replaced with a tw150 still on the transits!

Have they?? I know Atleast 10 people running 560's who have had no problems at all ... There will always be saws in batches that are dogs ... I'm sick to the back teeth of my 372 and every body else raves on them. . Back to the 560 it's been so far one of the best saws I have owned.

Uhhhm won't let me upload the image?

They look like the one on the right the other fell out of my climbing bag in transport and in to the depths of the chipper and got spat out in bits when started up.. I really liked them the first time I tried them so ordered a set for the geckos but never really got on with them when they arrived . . . Too much of a pivot point.

Sickening mate ... Feel for you.

Put a vid up years back its Grainy long and boring but the swing Dutchman we used worked well in its job that day and put the tree with a heavy lean were I wanted with out the aid of a winch or line that tbh with the lean the tree had probably would of only been capable of doing the same job but with more hassle. I like using a normal dutch mans to get a stick to jump a few feet off a stump like say felling high over a fence and to avoid hitting it. .. Never tried the soft dutch mans though.

254's a 262 and 288's nothing wrong with that line up

My feet are cold in my £1 tesco socks for the first time today ... And I'm sitting at home indoors doing nothing
-
Nice !!

I can't believe they changed the music at the return of the Jedi to pan pipes !!

What can you say about this dude? Its a miracle he has not caved his bald bonce in so far with his land rover club antics.. I hope he reads this thread and realises what a complete and utter tool he looks.

Elwell 5lb is third in on the right.. You can get a really decent aim and power through one .. The 7lb is a bit hit and miss lol... Double headed is nice for root grubbing as one side is razor the other side slightly fatter and blunter for dirty areas
-
Elwell 5lb axe is a nice all rounder and I think standard issue military so loads around... Decent british steel ! Stihl spalt hammer is a nice second choice as an axe/maul sledge hammer type... just re handled and painted mine second on the right.
-
Ill give the 540 its credit and its a torquey beast that seems to gain more power by the week ... It's now snapping my wrists with the compression ! It does need choking though if put down for 5 mins so I wonder how it will cope when the weather warms up.
-
You can never have enough axes !
-
I have my eyes on a couple of recently dead old elm pollards . That one rob I'm working ... We are on a different tree same site soon ,will make him an offer... I already have and he refused but it looks like it could yield some really interesting planks. The one I told you about martin is on a mates Field not as interesting timber wise but we can probably get it for free if we ring up the rest.
-
Never came back to me on it ... I still have a 2ft by 5 ft lump in the work shop getting in my way for you! But it has some great colours in it. I was thinking about that hollow elm with the burrs on if you fancy getting on that and we go halfs on the timber?
-
Very good mate.

Let's hope so ..
