Looks good. Small trees can sometimes be more of a pita than big ones to reduce ime.

I would gob it up in the direction you want it to hopefully go but pull it at a bigger angle ie more to the direction against the lean. Big heavy leaners really need a good bit of winching power and big gobs and hinges.Or they just snap and go sideways. Well they do with me. Although if it goes straight why not spike up a few feet and gob it out there?
-
Yes but WHY? What purpose do they serve???? All i can see what they do is manually pump fuel from the tank to the saw. Carbs have done this on their own for years.

Cant your missus handle a big chopper?
-
I always wondered what they are for? Not being funny but you usually dont see them on pro saws just the semi-pro or hedge trimmers. Even then a never need to use them!
-
Tbh I have never seen that! And I have witnessed plenty of neighbour cutting back jobs. I would just trim it as normal and see if anything else gets said by the council before I even thought of ripping it out.
-
No offense but dont you have a work plan? Ie I'm getting qualified so I can....
-
Whether its more to do if they have an accident doing something that they shouldnt ie goes against work rules,RA,MS etc I'm not sure. I suppose all you can do is have EL then leave it up to the insurance if a claim is made against you. I would hope that if someone got injured through my negligence they would be duly compensated.
-
I'm no expert and havent had any dealings with the above,but, I remember the insurance guy telling me yonks ago that employers liability was just that, liability insurance, it isnt accident insurance. His words not mine though. Seems right though, although no doubt the RA should cover every possible foreseen accident.
-
Legally you dont need any insurance, although I dont agree with that personally. But, if there is a possibility of damaging or injuring a third party you should really get public liability. Its only when you are employing someone you need by law employers liability. Cant remember about professional indemnity but that wont apply to what your asking about anyway.

Will make an interesting addition to the gallery of your web sites and the services you provide. "Trees pruned,felled and planted" "Aquatic mammals sliced and diced" Great job carried out there.

Could you really get just under £500 for that job?
-
Your quite right there. They probably have a lot more time to worry about stuff, and obvioulsy complain too! Has indeed been an interesting thread. I would have no probs in removing a tree like that, Ive removed far healthier and possibly 'better' trees in the name of construction. Not saying it isnt a shame and would also be good if a nice bit of furniture could be made from it or a carving. I have probably seen big beech fail and drop big limbs more than any other species. I wonder though if the reactions would be the same if it was a scabby old poplar?

Looks brilliant.
-
I always put it on choke after a refuel and it fires fine. May need a bit of tweeking on the h/l screws
-
Im always right, but I always nit pick. -
IMO you need the certs. People will say experience is everything but its not, tickets dont mean an awful lot either. Old people have experience, depends if its a good one though! Most pros will have the certs.
-
Aha, but its not for free, you are still getting a lot out of it.
-
Yeah, how did it go?
-
Ahh right makes sense to me now! For some reason I thought it was ring barking as in the entire circumference.

Yep your right, but I trump that with bacteria. All hail that mold hating animal/plant/Monera.
