Fracture Pruning Retrenchment on Fulham Oak
skyhuck replied to David Humphries's topic in Tree health care
Fully understand what you are doing, and know there is no comparison between your work and the pikeys. But I do feel there is a certain irony to the situation, may just be me? I have aways been amazed a the ability of tree to recover from even the most appalling butchery. I think there is still a lot to be understood about the way a tree works imo. ( I am in no way saying that you have butcherd this tree) -

You misunderstand me Tony,I was not suggesting hypocrisy. The point I was trying to make was the way good practise is in a state of contant change,flush cuts used to be the thing, as was painting wounds:wave: -
He is no hero of mine.You say you are open to discussion,but you had not put forward any argument that has not been soundly put down,and now you are trying to derail the thread:cussing:

I don't have a problem with new method, but I do find it ironic and some what amusing that the people who are now advocating this form of prunning are the very people who have for years poured scorn on the rips and tares the pikeys leave. -

These should be banned, I feel some people would use a better grip to strangle someone else!
-
This shows how good this site is,to get info like that so quick is so usefull.
-
What from your Chinese overlords!
-
Don't won't to pick but,those cuts look a bit flush. Did you use a MEWP?

So getting back to the the first point you do need a o-licence if you pull a chipper that weighs more than 1020kg with a trany.

IF you go to the first post that link works. -
One of the reasons I like the chipper on the FRONT of my mog.
-
Just a thought when I drop a trunk like that I always make a log pile for it to land on,means you can ring it up without cutting the floor,or put a strop round if the hiab will reach.

I'm fairly sure that in a year or two when enough people have been killed or injured in these contraptions the HSE will start to backtrack and realise the skilled people with rope and harness is one of the safest systems there is IMO
-
Nice job! you can't beat a nice sunny day for a job like that.
-
That a copout, come on let hear it!
-
My understanding was that tacho's are only ever used with an o-licence? How else can there use be policed?
-
Don't think your right, the chipper manufacturers have gone to great lengths to probuce chippers that are 750kg as this is the weight you can pull behind a 3.5 tonner and not need tacho and o-licence.
