  2. True, are you gonna recommend a Yankee one???
  3. Crane feeding disc chippers can spell trouble
  4. If you swap your paper one for a plastic card, they drop you to 8250kg, they are scum!! IMO
  5. Booked a caravan park months ago, for that weekend
  6. I had a call a few weeks back, on a tuesday afternoon, "can you give me a price for removing some branches", "yes", I say "I'll call one evening next week, to give you a price" He says "Oh, I need it done this week" I reply "Sorry can't do anthing for 3 or 4 weeks" He says "Oh, right bye" Friday comes round, phone rings I answer and recognise the same voice, "Have you any work on this afternoon?" I reply "No" Him "Do you want some?" Me "No" Him "Why not?" Me "Because I'm on my hoildays!!" Him "Oh! right bye" Cheeky sod!!!:mad1:
  7. He didn't, but Lancaster is "north Lancashire" so I am guessing at that
  8. The Lancaster canal is not connected to the other canals, so is not part of the "network".
  9. I have never done an NPTC training courses, I was only assessed to get my tickets. But if I was on a course and some one told me something like that, I would want to know why. I find I only learn things that I understand, I NEVER do any thing because I'm TOLD too. This is not a criticism, I'm just saying thats how I am!! I never understand how a any one can drive a car without knowing how it works, but my wife does just fine.
  10. Gob size was set back when trees were being felled for timber, big gob = wasted wood. I felled an Elm butt the other week with a gob of around 5%, I did not want to lose any timber and the stem was leaning where I wanted it to go.
  11. Rubbish!!! The hinge is a "fulcrum", if you move the hinge further back you are putting more of the weight of the tree in the direction you wish the tree to fall. As you say you want a strong hinge, the nearer the middle of the tree you go the wider the hinge, the wider the hinge the more holding wood you have, it simple
  12. Cool!!!!!!!!!! If it fell over on its side it would take off LOL!!!
  13. Nice tree!!!! Whats the access like??

  16. I like big ones with good access for the mog!!
  17. If the saw was blunt it would just cut slow. Personally I would have just done my best, tried to make a few friends and buy a file. But thats just me
