  1. Today we were called to view an Old Oak within the New Forest National Park, this tree measured 80' tall, the canopy spread was 25 metres and the butt measured 5 metres round. When we first saw the tree from a distance it looked in good vigar, but on closer inspection it had a large split down the main trunk, we called the tree officer who came out right away. We discussed options and due to its suroundings he advised that we fell. The tree is estimated to be between 250 - 300 years old, it seems a great shame to fell such a tree of this age. What are your thoughts on this, would you fell or pollard?
  2. What survey software do you use, what would be recomended for general tree reports - surveys, schools, open spaces, ect.
  3. NFU aswell, very reasonable, we shopped around and found them to beat most:thumbup:

  7. Thursday my contract climber was reducing a conifer for another company he works for when not with us, the top hadled saw kicked the brake came on but the saw kicked back lifted his visor and as a result cut him fron the edge of the lip down to his chin this resulted in Jarno having 40, yes 40 stiches in his wound, being a tough little bugger he went of to hospital got stiched up and returned to the site to remove the debris before going home. I think any other person would of a least had the rest of the day of, not him. What a GUY

  16. Hi Adam, Doyle Manor is all done and dusted
  17. The conversion costs around 2.5K for the steel work, thats without the axle, wheels, fuel line extensions, wireing loom, brake lines. The diff is 4.7K = VAT, quite expensive in all
  18. I will take photos of rear drive set up in the next few days and post, you can see the same set up on the the web site http://www.foleyspecialistvehicles.co.uk this was the company that converted our
  19. This started life as a 110 hicap, the back end was cut of at the sping hangers then a 40" extension welded in, 3rd axle put in with up & over diff and hay presto a 150" 6x6 was born. Getting it plated is a very long drawn out process though but woth it

  21. they are all wearing the same, the rear axles are quite close together and have proved to be very effective in tyre wear
  22. The turning circle is the same as a 130, pritty big but great for reversing close coupled chippers
