    A proper chipper. Shame its too big for the neighbourhoods I work in, wouldn't get any chipping done cause all we'd be doing trying to manouver it into position, then it'd be time to go home.

    Bandit 250, best chipper I've used. Would like to try the bigger drum versions sometime. Anyone here used one of the massive Bandit drum chippers?

    Not sure if I've got the model names exactly right - I've used both the A530 and A528, and found the older A528 with the fold down feed hopper to be a better machine, seems to be better built and better for a wider variety of treework, the A530 with the solid sloped hopper is ok for certain jobs long straight branches that dont need much prepping etc. Only issue I have with the A528 is the push bar can get over-sensitive after a while, but its easily fixed. The turntable version of the A528 is also excellent and can make life a lot easier on many difficult access jobs.. Jensens are much better than Timberwolf and better value than Schleisings, IMHO.

    igottacabstar, When your cruising round Truro listening to Brian May with your shades on, elbow hanging out the window, spare a thought for the 1000s of African orphans who could have lived off the money you spent on your X5 for a decade.
  6. scotspine1
    That buying an X5 is excessive waste of money.

    I'm selling a king cab pick up for a good price in Arbtalk Classifieds. if your interested pm me for more info.

    You could plant a 100,000 trees with the money your spending on that X5, making the world a better place for your children and their children's children.

    Good post. Maybe igottacabstar should read this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conspicuous_consumption

    Driving an X5, Cayenne, Range Rover etc attracts a lot of unwanted attention. Only recently a few streets from me, some gansters smashed through a front door to get the keys of an X5 ran over the owner who tried to stop them. He survived but he is going to buy a Saab estate now. Dont blame him. Nice cars Saabs. I run a proper 4x4 - Daihatsu Fourtrack.

    For squirrels or something?

    Fused bud growth from an Ash.
  13. scotspine1
    This is the oddest vta symptom I've ever seen, these strange woody growths were from a Horse Chestnut riddled with cankers, growth rings can even be seen on them. Anyone know what they are?

    Similar idea to the last pic, this is from a stone dead Beech. CODIT failed to save the tree.
  15. scotspine1
    Is this CODIT in action or something else? Cross section through a Holly.
  16. scotspine1
    Same thing here on Beech - Wall 4 of CODIT attempting to seal area of fire damage.
  17. scotspine1
    Branch failure on Norway Maple probably caused by squirrel damage. You can see the new barrier wood of wall 4 of CODIT attempting to seal the wound.
  18. scotspine1
    Fungi zone lines on cross-section of Beech, Armillaria mellea and Kretschmaria(Ustilina) deusta were active within this tree.

    Pedestal on a Thuju plicata, possibly from being pot bound prior to planting - thats just a theory, no proof.

    Hazard Beam on Malus

    Stranger things have happened

    yep, always good to have a wee knife like that for peeling apples at lunch.
  23. scotspine1
    I've got rid of all my knives like that.....all you need to do is leave one sitting on the chipper at lunch, then forget about it when you drive off home, the knife falls onto the street, some gang member picks it up and uses it to kill someone, then throws it away. The police find it, and two years later when everyone in the UK is on the DNA database, low and behold they haul you in for a murder you didn't commit, but your DNA matches that on the knife, and you never reported it stolen, 15 to 20 years behind bars. Well...it could happen.

    I dont see the point in having two attachment points on the tree going to one attachment point on the harness(bridge).
  25. scotspine1
    No wonder Rentachimp quit treework.
