Are 'Jensen' Plymouth Brethren? If you Google 'Jensen Woodchippers' all that comes up is 2nd hand chippers on earborist, beaver, arborcut etc. There's no actual 'Jensen' website, they must lose some trade because of that, which is a pity because people end up buying inferior chippers only to learn later that they could have bought a Jensen. Would be good to find out about this as I have some friends who want information on possibly buying two new tracked Jensens and 1 tow behind and they cant get any info from the net.

Plymouth Brethren?

Speaking of Jensen, why is it that they dont have a website in the UK or anywhere else for that matter? Dont know Arborcut but that looks like a good deal on that A530 http://www.arborcut.com/chippers.html?sobi2Task=sobi2Details&catid=2&sobi2Id=25

Looks like you guys did a good job, very organised set up. Like the winch, did you have to climb anything?
-
Walking away? where to?

What was MB doing in the vid at 3.10? I didn't know he worked in the UK, he even brought one of those special bump caps from Louisiana. Anyway, thanks for posting, always sad to see a big old healthy tree come down. ps, were those guys chipping into a Luton with a Bandit 150?!

That doesn't make sense, so you applied a growth regulator with two growth promoters? Wont they cancel each other out? How do you know the Cambistat wont destroy the rhizo fuel and root grow organisms?
-
Wont the Cambistat decrease the tree's ability to react in the optimum way against the root pruning wounds and canopy work (more wounding)? Why use the Cambistat now, when you have just done all that pruning work?

Never heard of that problem with the D22 engine, mine has done 60,000 without a single problem. D22 However I have heard from a Nissan mechanic that the D40s have had serious problems with the engines at the 60K mark. D40 Sorry cant be of more help.

One of my friends started getting pain in his sack region whilst climbing on a big job, he was shocked to feel one of his nuts had swollen to the size of a large orange and the other had shrunk to the size of a small grape....... ..........he came out the tree and started to turn white, and said he felt sick, we carted him off the local A and E, turns out his tubes had got tangled. Ha ha, he said the nurses found it all very funny, prodding his giant nut. He can laugh about now, but he honestly thought he was going to die.

That explains everything, ta. looks like Block Driver came into good use as usual.

Yeah, the Silky can handle up to 5 inches diameter, so I never take a saw up trees like that if I can help it. I used to use the top-handled on trees like that all the time, these days I'm older and wiser.

Its a Lime, in one of the best examples of a communal Victorian garden in Glasgow. These people are some of my best clients - hardly want the trees touched, just deadwooding 1 inch diameter and larger and some minor branch reductions. Most of our work is removals so this kind of work is a real treat. London Plane -

Great pics Reg, what height are you? looks like you position yourself really far away from the stem? Is that how you always work?
-
Just another day pruning trees in Glasgow.

Jake, surely the council can buy you a rope! If they cant then thats a bloody disgrace, what the hell are they playing at? Your rope/harness etc is a form of PPE and they should pay for all of it. What do you mean by this? Planes or plans? If they dont have massive Planes then 35m should be fine, if they dont have massive plans then maybe you should look for a decent employer. :wave:

Reigate works well with Yale XTC.

Didn't realise they were the biners recommended by the ART, thanks for that. Probably worthwhile showing the pics anyway as a few folk have been giving the Lockjack to borrow/try without knowing about this safety issue.
-
D Mc, watch your wooden handle doesn't get caught in your lower biner, the cam will be held open and you will drop very quickly, maybe better to use a smaller biner.

Does anyone know where I can buy the old Sandvik forestry tunic? I've tried the Bahco website but they dont have them in the green and orange. If any dealers have any old stock lying around let me know. These were very hard wearing tops that would last for years, if anyone knows where I can find something similar let me know, has to be in green/orange and as tough as the Sandviks. Sorry for poor pic quality here, only one I could find.

Tesco Clubcard, Sainsbury's Nectar Cards etc are used to gain information on your dietary habits. This information is sold to large multi-national insurance firms. So that when you apply for health/life insurance etc, the insurance company can check your diet for things like foods high in fat, alcohol consumpton and tobacco . According to your diet they will then either refuse you insurance or increase the premium because you are a higher risk if you fall below the accepted level. In the future, you will walk out the supermarket door with your trolley full of groceries and it'll all be swiped in one go onto your implanted chip. The transanction will be completed as you are connected to a national database where all the information about your life is stored for the corporations/banks and government to view and use whenever they like In short you will owned by the Banks/Government .

Looks like you did a great job Drew, shame about the rats though. The client must've been happy, its a huge improvement.
-
For me personally....no, and as a public relation exercise most people I work for couldn't care less whether you have a few letters after your name. Having said that I'm a member of the ISA and AA anyway. I like them both for different reasons. As for the consultants Vs practising arborists, consultants that want to be taken seriously should've come from a practical general treework background. They should also know their limitations when it comes to writing reports and should not get involved in writing method statements for contractors. If there is something specific being recommended they should arrange an on-site visit with the contractor or his crew.

There is a lot of evidence based facts in that film, the makers have obviously done their homework.

Pics would good, just out of interest, as I know a couple of guys who have used their own homemade lowering devices, one is a giant figure of 8(weighs about 5 stone) and the other is a crude version of the original portawrap.
