ive had invasive bracing fail a quite a bit on oak and chesnut,in my experience they just dont respond well to having holes drilled in them.saying that i looked at a large chesnut that we put three metal rods through to hold it together when its two main trunks started coming apart at it has completly callused over and is fine,nice supprise for any one felling it in the future! have found beach seems to respond really well to invasive as well usually completly callusing over in a short time. never had cobra fail on trees ive done but then the limbs have not failed either! how did the cobra fail high scale? did it snap or just slip out?

only good thing is if we get some gales i can see some 87 style type stuff happening as all the root plates have had a good soaking and i wont be doing any dripping wet poxy leylandii hedges for a while unless the f$ckers are on the ground or blown over in some uncompromising situation i can charge a small fortune for!

false acacia we did a 15% reduction and braced today....badly hacked some years ago........was proper fun gettin out on the regrowth. Before [/img]

Nice reduction steve...when i was doing mostly free lance a lot of companies made me leave my truck in there yards becouse it was sighn written..some stopped giving me work altogether when i first got it done...so its a hard catch to be in but i think people seeing a sighn written truck when your working definietly gets you more work especially locally.

Iif its slower it definietely comes out like dust!

if the anvill settings from the blade are larger will it increase productivity bigger chips and less strain on the engine? the anvill set up on my graveley 625 is nearly touching the blade and resulting in micro chips! surely its putting more strain on the engine?
