Tree surgery waste is a nightmare, I reckon you'd do that stuff on a processor in a day

This is the reason I bought an endoscope. If there are any woodpecker holes it's dead easy then to give them a quick check before we start. I've got an Oak in my wood with about 7 wood pecker holes in it which has alerted me to a potentail problem with the tree, although it looks plush and dandy at the moment, it's a potentail failure roadside -
She just doesn't want to hurt your feelings mate

You may be rolling off satisfied, but is she ???

Using a prussic when you can use a VT is like using a footpump when you have a compressor

Thats easy to solve. Yes madame that will cost a little more, and a bit more, and just a bit more

Tachyons fine, I had a brand new 13mm rope sat on the shelves for about 2 years so decided to see if it worked better with the Lockjack.....it didn't make a difference

Just the jerkiness on descent and the lack of control when branch leaping Tommy

I went to price a job the other day and the neighbour (who wanted the tree cut in half) was keen to point out that the last Tree surgeon stung the tree owner because they hardly took anything off, when he got home from work it wasn't much different. I was itching to tell him it was me. The client wanted a reduction keeping the shape and form of the tree, the neighbour wanted it lopping.
