when you can repair anything with a plug key:001_smile:

Or a bit of gaffer tape!

Sorry I fear I have lowered the tone somewhat.

i love a good pollard:001_smile:

I'm with you all the way with that!!!

Like Northern soul but prefer good old Motown!!!

When you are willing to use the same knife that you use to cut rope, get splinters/thorns out ,cut tree ties etc etc etcn to cut the cheese for your sarnies!!!!!

oh no !

 

Here we go

Dean what are your views?

So as we learn more and more about our trade what are the current (personal) views out there on pollards?????

I've got a 254 XPG (heated handles) and it's a real beaut, especially in this weather!!!!! I'm always amazed at how powerful it is. It really punches above it weight!!!!

Had the same the other day check out this thread

sorry m8,bought a 441 8mths ago,runs like a dream.i only buy from sellers with gd history

Saw a well dodgy Suzuki 4x4 on Ebay recently............lol

Could be up for that

Has anyone out there seen "The Wire"???

It's an American cop show, but my word is it good!!!!

It has to be one of the most addictive pieces of tv ever made. Everyone I know who has seen it is watching 2 or 3 episodes a night!!

Do yourselves a favour and try to find it and enjoy. For those of you who have bt vision its there on demand, otherwise I think it's on FX on sky.

Gotta get in to it !!!!!

Platoon gets my vote all day.

Willem dafoe is a legend in this movie

Thanks people, I didn't realise that as a practice it has been thought of as being somewhat redundant. Would the concensus of opinion be to fell it in one then???

What is the soil profile?

Clay(ey).

Went to look at a job today. End of terrace house with a Cherry in the side/front garden. Surprise surprise the roots are lifting the paving stones and so the client wants the tree felling.

The tree is about 1.5 metres away from the side elevation of the house. Its about 30cm diameter at the base and between 5-6metres tall.

Knowing what (as we all do) Cherry roots are like, I think it's a safe bet to assume the roots are nearing the building if not already there!!

So the question is would you fell it in one foul swoop and risk heave or stage the felling over a couple of seasons??

My gut instinct is to stage the felling of it!

I could get some piccies if that would help.

Thanks y'all

seems as if a nerve has been struck with you boys whats the matter a little bit unsure of your sexuality:001_smile:

Sorry to go off topic but that's a great avatar James. Favourite Brent quote???

Thats a wash bag! thats ok if your on a camp site! (Do you see what I did there?)

Very good

I'd be more worried about watching the one show, thats camp!

Sounds like you've hit a nerve there Andy!!!!

I used one for 6 years and never had a problem. It's all down to where you place the wood on the splitting table. ie. the cone spins clockwise (from memory) so if you make sure the majority of the ring is on the right hand side of the table it won't flick and get those pinkies. Don't get me wrong, I have seen fingers crushed on them, just a little care is needed, just like we're used to when we pick up a chainsaw.

We can do the Bio oil for £55.00 per 20 litres

Or the Stihl Semi synthetic for £28.73 per 20 litres

 

Hope this helps

Is that the Sthil bio for £55??

I'll be in touch!!

And I know this has also been covered in the past...but what do we all think of veggie oil from the supermarket as chain lube???

FTR i use stihl bio oils and buy 20ltrs at a time but its still not cheap

Me too mate, that's why I wondered if there was any other alternatives
