    weeping tree's

    wild pear, could well be, thanks alot. they said that the fruit was unedible and i just read up on it and it says that the fruits can be really hard. nice one nuttyarb!
  3. whats the method? im planning on going down the tv,hitch climber, 11m climbing line route but i cant get my head around how you body thrust with this set up?
  4. i think they feed mainly on unseasoned poplar
  5. why do some trees weep? eg weeping ash, is this just a freak ash that has been cultivated? do crab apple trees have spikes? i was working on a few today that had big thorns? the bark looked like cherry and the leafs looked like crab apple but with big thorns?
  6. i bet they work well on a bank.
  7. so how tall was that stem you felled? didnt look like it had much hinge left?
  8. i agree you might save 30 quid but i got mine from a place which does very good repair/servicing so if it goes tits up i know it will be sorted.
  9. does anyone have a good risk ass form available for download? or am i in fantasy land?
  10. theres loads of good stuff on there but they have different kit and different trees and it just not british old chap.
  11. i got the link from tree buzz. tree buzz is good but its too american for me, hardly ever posted not enought british stuff on there.
  12. 88 up the tree? not fun.
  13. thanks alot everyone for the good advise. i think as a temp thing i will get away will it. im only doing the odd day for myself here and there. i wish i hadnt brought the saw now, its the perfect ground saw for snedding but now im climbing i dont really need it as is only got an extra inch then my 200. when going for a bigger saw what stihl would you go for 36,44,46,66?
  14. hi everyone this is my first post. anyone tried this combination? i can't afford a bigger saw at the moment so i was thinking of putting an 18" bar on my 26. will i be pissing in the wind?
