Hello I've been offered some new wheels for my Terrano van, I'm interested in them because they have very good condition BFG All Terrains on them. He wants £250 for all four, seems like a good price to me. The tyres retail for £105 at least each. One thing they are bigger than the standard size fitted on my van, they will fit because they came off a Navara. If I put these bigger wheels/tyres on how will it effect the performance of the van, fuel consumption/speed etc etc?????????? Is it worth putting bigger ones on. What are the advantages apart from it looking better???

Wow..........bit of a hornets nest, just a simple, dogs yes or no would have sufficed. Didn't appreciate the strength of feelings there are out there. Me....... well I agree dogs do indeed appear to be dirty animals with dirty habilts but I also would like to think that there is more to dog ownership than clearing up faeces and constant vigilance against the hound chewing some 3 year old's face off. Most of the peope I know say that looking at the greater picture dog ownership is a good thing. Anyway put a deposit down on a puppy earlier today. Thanks y'all

Keep it coming peeps.........all very helpful

Just to clarify..... is that a NO then???????

So, what are you guys selling a transit load of split firewood for? There seems to be a vast range of prices form very expensive to ridiculusly cheap. Demand is high this year, is that reflecting in your prices????? Thinking about selling by the dumpy bag load aswell. Any prices on those per load?? Also any good ideas for suppliers of the dumpy bags and how much they cost??? So many questions!!!! Answers much appreciated!!! Cheers.

Thanks, this is just the advice/help that I hoped for.

Thinking about getting a dog. Never had one before so just a few q's about the pros and cons. Are they the great tie that everyone I speak to says they are? Are they the best companion that people say they are? Do we have the best job to have a dog. I'm guessing there are a lot of tree surgeon dogs that are happy to spend the day in the truck or on a long lead on a stake in the middle of mrs Miggins gardens. How do the clients react when asked if Rover can have a run in the garden etc. Generally....Dog ownership....Good or Bad???????? Thanks y'all

Liking these helmet cams. Any tips on what tho get and where to get from???
-
That's alright........at least you'll have something warm for lunch!!!!!!!

That's agreat idea, I must admit the thought had entered my head a few times. Currently using Sthil biosafe (i think that's its name) very expensive, I've tried the cheaper ones in the past but they have caused problems with the oil pump. Would love to give the veggie oil a go. Anyone else out there use veggie oil??? Any problems?

Could be Dryads saddle. Back in the days at college my fungi id used to be pretty good, but nowadays it seems it's not up to scratch. I'm trying to improve on it this year, so I'm paying lots of attention to the fungi pages at the moment. So keep the photos coming in please.

Just driving about today and saw these beauties on a tired old hacked Horse Chesnut. Maybe one Pollard too far, too soon. Any ideas?
-
No. But if they could get one to run on arse gas we'd all be a lot better off!!!!!!
-
thanks
-
ntp the limb??????????
-
I agree, a Pollard in my opinion is the way to go, but as said I don't think it's an option. I would rather not leave a stub and agree that the best way to ensure the health and optimum repair from the pruning is to target prune, but I wonder if that wound would be just too large at that height on the main stem, there's a lot of weight and leverage above it. I think what I should do is send the quote in with a strong recomendation for the whole tree to be pollarded and we'll see where that gets us.
-
I'm thinking about leaving a stub, in practice Pollarding the stem to be removed, I know it's not going to be visually pretty but it should be better for the remainder of the tree shouldn't it??
-
Don't know
-
Don't get me wrong I love a good Pollard, I think the two neighbours won't swallow it though.

Get a straight stick long enough so that if you hold it at arms length out in front of you the tip/end just touches your nose. Then hold the stick up/vertical(once again at arms length in front of you) and walk backwards or forwards until the tree in the backgroung looks as tall as the stick you are holding. When that happens stop where you are put the stick in the ground. The distance from the stick (in the ground) to the base of the tree in the same as its height. Can be surprisingly accurate!!!! Or you could buy a clinometer from Honey bros. The stick is a lot cheaper and there's never a shortage of them.
-
Good idea but I have the distinct feeling that is not an option.

Hello all Looked at a job today part of it involved removing a limb off an Ash. No problem to do, but it looks as if it's on the boundary of what I can take off without leaving a too large wound on the main stem. I'm a bit worried it may make the remaining stem structurally weaker when the wound dies back. What do you guys/gals think. The main stem is about 300mm at the point of the proposed wound, the stem to come off is about200mm, they are quite similar in diameter. Any thoughts would be helpfull Ta very much

Can't help m8 always found Ash to be most agreeable when it comes to burning it
-
What was the reason for taking down the Ash if it was perfectly healthy???

Some Beech trees. Kings Wood nr. Ashford, Kent. Well worth a viisit. One of Henry the 8th's hunting woods.........aparently. Hope the picture attaches!
