I think its right to remove/prune trees because its blocking the light, shedding leaves, blocking the sky signal, drops aphid sap everywhere, nesting/roosting bird mess everywhere, worries people when the wind gets up etc etc etc..... Why not? Lifes too short to have to deal with the above so why not remove it. Thats why are industry was born imo so lets not complain about needlessly felling/pruning trees when without it there would hardly be an industry at all.

Now your just taking codswallop. In fact I have never seen so much claptrap in my life.

As others have said you need to read the small print and see under what conditions it has to be stolen in in order to make a claim.

Some HDR pics are really good. They do antique effect stuff really well. Only really had a mess about with tutorial cd's but will have to give it a try for real one day on some of my own pics. I reckon some nice fungi shots would be very nice.

Thinking about this again today and realising mine and Micks comments went completely against what this thread is about although I do like to jump to conclusions, as well as tar everyone with the same brush I thought I would have a look at the other vids. Now hows that for positive thinking. Hopefully it will have some enlightening qualities but I do reserve the right to call it complete twoddle if only to use the word twoddle again as I quite like that word (cheers Mick, although the rest of your imput has been pooh!) and IMHO its right up there with the word gobbledygook:thumbup1:

No in my first post I said I had only watched the first one and thats what I was basing my opinion on. Since I'm not going to watch the other 8 I suppose I best not comment any further. Although people who think his words are that of wisdom did they also watch all 9?

Maybe the branch collar was difficult to see so they left a stub so they could come back later and prune back to the branch collar when it was more visible(apparently) An then err forgot.

I think the same also. It isnt good to run a saw lean/dry. But, I do it all the time when using the saws ie it runs out of juice which I find out when it starts running lean. Difference though I suppose is stopping the saw straight away and not getting the last dreggs out of the tank.

You musta been lucky not to have watched any Jerry Springer, Ricky Lake,Jerry Jones Oprah etc. They often had people like this guy on saying this type of stuff. Every other sentence had the words self esteem in it! It just seemed this guy was saying the same stuff to me. Yeah thats the stuff but imo it soon turns into what I was saying. People start to believe everything is about them, they are capable and should have the opportunity to do anything they want and stuff what everyone else is doing because they dont care, well unless they are in the way then they can get trodden on. You only have to watch one episode of American Idol to know I'm speaking the truth. Although you are probably right though and I do have it wrong, so many people these days do look to blame others more than they deserve and self image is becoming a major problem unfortunately.

Hey, I even started watching the second one too, for about 3 mins till it bored the pants off me. Nothing wrong about liking yourself, I was more referring to the thread title. Just seemed to be the same old stuff to me, which ends up with people thinking they can achieve anything and that no one should stand in their way. Theres nothing wrong with putting others before yourself imo and this seems to be the exact opposite. Maybe I have his ideas all wrong, its just the way it came across to me thats all. Anyway back to a bit of. [ATTACH]43338[/ATTACH]

Only watched the first one so only commenting on that. Yanks and self esteem! Sounds very selfish to me!

Dont forget though you need to make sure you can fit/machine the hydraulic pump up to the engine and the the output has a useable shaft to run a pulley. If not you can end up paying an engineer a good few hundred quid to machine some parts up.

I dunno everyone seems to mention it at one point or other in their life/career.

From seeing your posts and vids/pics of work I dont doubt it for a minute. But, we all do that dont we? We all have done the crappyiest jobs and worked the hardest and did the best work and worked for a pittance and we didnt have it easy and it was hard graft not luck that got us here and everyone else moans.......

Excellent:laugh1: I thought the growth rings looked a bit big but didnt click on!

Inclusional arboriculture- from the top
Mesterh replied to Tony Croft aka hamadryad's topic in General chat
Ok had a read of it. Not my thing tbh plus it didnt read very well to me, but that could be because of my lack of interest I suppose:001_smile: So best I leave it at that. -
Lol they didnt chip the nests. The trees were covered in wall ties were they had fallen out of the nests. Although they and me(I dont mind taking the blame pooh happens as they say) tried to keep an eye out we couldnt see everyone so the odd few ended up going through!
-
The end result of using machines is that the cost of the service or product is cheaper. The benefits along the way are that its physically easier ie no log moving by hand or brash slashing in a truck/skip. I wonder if I would have more work if we had no chippers and chainsaws? Jobs would take a lot longer but the price would be much higher.

Afag guides/toilet paper, whats the difference?
Mesterh replied to RobRainford's topic in Picture Forum
No no no no no! You've been spiking up the front of the tree all these years. You pee on the front and pooh round the back. -

Ahhh so your the reason powerline cutters have a bad rep. Do you know the best way to find what is the front or back of a tree? -
Took a row of lomardies down next to a building site. Had 2 dumpy bags worth of wall tie nests! Destroyed the blades on the chipper that day:thumbdown:

Ermm I hope that those that think using spikes while pruning isnt a problem arent justifying there actions. Besides it not usually a couple of little spike wounds, there a a few long tears on that tree. -
Tisk, tisk Erm tyres at the bottom and burn it up like I suggested. No need to ask any permission then.

Mesterh replied to RobRainford's topic in Picture Forum
Tbh even if earmarked for a fell they dont even warrant the time it takes to buckle up a set of spikes. They prob got a spec to deadwood and crown lift, looked at the state of the tree and thought a few spike wounds wouldnt even make a difference. Still no excuse though. -
Nasty cut, but then chicks dig scars.
