He would go to prison if it killed someone or how far it got pushed by emergency services if they had to respond in the wake of clearing up his feck up especially in these times , how thick can some one be? Further to that how fucking selfish too! .

Excellent post David thank you for your time replying.
-
What would you suggest David , there is about 20acres of x mass trees and 10 of broadleafs surrounded keilder forest so there are quite a few deer! , I can find where they are getting in and fix but then they are stuck in there... so would need removing completely? They are starting to do a lot of damage.. but if they restore a natural level of strong buck keeping others out I don’t mind ... then again I don’t think there is enough land in the block to maintain even a small population.

Hmmmm obviously the deer fence isn’t working then!

Deere or hare??

Peeling bark at base of Sycamore

Peeling bark at base of Sycamore
MattyF replied to Readingdave's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Lots of bare ground around it , thousands of dogs pissing on it ?? or too much glyphosate? Either way the area of wood is not functional in the photo... photos of the rest of the tree crown would give more of an idea if there is any thing going on that would be of concern,that small area of dysfunction on a street tree alone would not worry me... any thing else going on at the base like fruiting fungal bodies ? I would also take this opportunity to say you have more chance of being injured by your wheely bin statistically in the U.K. than a tree injuring ,killing or potentially damaging your house... folk really do need to get out of this mindset that trees are killers and a threat and must be interfered with. -
Break them and put the extra drive links in.

Setting climbing-anchorage on straight/smooth spars..

SRT alpine on a ring or pinto and it retrievable , great for knocking out big lumps or a back up chogging down. -

Have you got one for a mx220 shit slinger Pete [emoji51]

I like them but they are getting on a bit now, will get through most gateways but as soon as you are on any slopes or mud you want dual wheels on , minute each side with an impact wrench. Agree josh , we had one on demo and I think even the rep was embarrassed by it , 252 would run rings actually cutting stumps around it, hydraulic powered cutting wheels just don’t seem to be there yet in putting down cutting torque... your bandits has a belt driven head ?

I broke one of them after getting swiped in a big Corsican and the replacement would not pair with it so gave up on them... , the others after a few years would not hold charge for long , they where good, but I could not find the originals to match the ones I had I brought, and really didn’t like the new style with no screen it made pairing impossible so tried the upgrade as they definitely make some jobs less stressful. yeah the sennas do not cancel out much noise in comparison and that can get painful if your on the receiving end of a saw for hours.. using s10’s they are easy to pair and keep a good charge though.

Are they more for linking your phone for hands free ? I’m not sure you could pair them to another one or two sets unless they where all linked to phones and using Bluetooth , would or could it cane the phone battery very quickly? you would then have the risk of damaging your phone or maybe I’m not understanding how it works ? Possibly also it could be a pita to connect them all up. To be honest Bill I’ve no idea how these work or there Intended use but just ended up with sennas as they are just quality and easy to connect and use.. only issues I’ve had has been the quick release dropping units in to an abyss of brambles and nettles ! Have taped the release pin up now though!

Noticed a few in the yard last night , 3 days earlier than last year ,they usually coincide with the arrival of the midges and guess what is out in force this morning!
-
I’ve seen plenty that have.

Sell there 150’s for a high price or as much as possible so a the replacement 230 won’t be as much of a drain on finances.. Better than trade in price I guess ?
-
Think of how they had to load those lorries by hand before they started converting the roadless and county’s with cranes , many men where broken completely by the time they reached 40.
-
I think the prices are just high so they can get a 230. Older 150’s before the pre 750kg models with the metal hydraulic and fuel tank if the chassis isn’t completely rotten are ok machines , swap the solid bottom feed roller out for a newer replaceable blade version and change the push for paddle buttons. 230 is a different class of machine although I would worry a little about why they weigh so little.

None of these photos are mine , first three belong to Micheal Murray who has an amazing collection of F.C machines working in keilder from over the years and where part of an exhibition he did to commemorate 100 Years of forestry at keilder I our community. The first county I believe belonged to joe Potts of TPH who was one of my neighbours who received an MBE for his services too forestry,he’s retired now , I could listen Joe’s story’s for hours if only he had the time ! TPH is still going and carrying his legacy of quality .. the other two county’s are FC machines I believe. Last two photos are off are social club walls , would love to share more of Micheal’s images but I’m sure he will be having a go when I see him at the club when all this lockdown is over !

Nice to see.
