  1. helps if the ground is flat. oh , your in Wales
  2. yeah well i've done that too. several times actually. ( usually cos the new owners are wnkrs and should have bought a house away from trees in the first place.) call me a snitch , i don't care.
  3. they ( environment agency) didn't have 2 people I know on the database , they just followed the smoke signals.
  4. wheelie bin might be better:bored:
  5. i like trees but... ... don't worry I'm a surgeon.
  6. several have been arrested for the killing of a pensioner in Landford near Salisbury, just went in his house robbed and beat the old guy , he died. one lived a few miles away from me.
  7. ??? why is this not deemed professional? Cannot quite see how burning of green waste, as opposed to chipping or shredding is an issue, so long as its carried out responsibly. Burning has been the traditional method of waste disposal for aeons, and in fact is probably more environmentally friendly than a diesel burning chipper. PS its also less likely to spread fungal spores if its burned than if chipped, then spread around healthy trees in future. Burning also creates potash, a valuable nutrient for plants. PPS and you cant cook on a chipper because its against the law Andy. unles you have yourself a waste transfer licence and an exemption certificate. Its been illegal to burn hauled in waste on farms etc for several years.
  8. i like trees but .... ....twos company, trees a crowd.
  9. I like trees but... ... only if they are Oak-ay.
  10. pickled beetroot and strong cheddar sandwiches. or grated carrot and marmite. or black pudding ( fried and cold) and lettuice.
  11. Thanks Ed for the info. I recall this subject being argued previously in a reality show on channel arb. many legal greenwaste depots are now only taking arisings from legal carriers good job too. Now the pressure needs to be put on those who tip and burn in paddocks and farms. Being professional extends futher than NPTC insurance and shiny karabiners.
  12. Just collecting sticks to make a shed or two. ( I did drive on the Queens highway for a little bit with an escort vehicle.)
  13. Who owns the chipper Andy?
  14. Report him to the HSE regarding untrained staff , chaisaws, felling etc. and push hard for an investigation.
  15. Check the tin roof in pic one. last time I saw one of those was half way up a huge cedar .
  16. in a similar theme baby oil is good for getting resin off your hands.
  17. your out I'm outa here
  18. Stupsi is worth a glance.
  19. I sold a christmas tree to Trevor Eve ( actor)and his wife Sharon Maughn ( nescafe coffee ads 1980's/90's) also I worked for the actress who plays Alice the dim one in vicar of dibley.
  20. Ask Matt "buzz" about TP chippers I know that at least one of the PTO versions could have screening sliver breakers fitted behind the blades. They probably fit on larger towable too.
  21. Any evidence of gloves ?
  22. your sooooo qwik
  23. Ureka http://www.mytreelessons.com/friction%20hitch.htm for all those who seek. I have been playing with a further variation not shown here. It consists of 4 turns then one braid to the rear, ends tied into a sheetbend in the front, then to krab. anyone else tied ( tried) this?
  24. Steve can you remember the web pages / link that has lots of pictures of different VT variants. I must have seen it via "the treehouse" It may be of use here.
