is it not a matter for the police and courts? seems a bit odd and worrying to make a tv program about it first.
-
i think soil quality would be worth checking, are they going to be bareroot or rootball? hand dug or digger i find that is the biggest factor in root pit size!! a bit bigger than the rootball and loosened up in the bottom a bit should be fine.
-
so you work in a multicultural workplace and find it ok, would you be ok with your work buddies and their families moving to the uk? which type of culture do you think should prevail in the uk?
-
i thought it was the covid restrictions that were ruining the country!?? now its the immigrants !!!!
-
good idea, but i wonder if somthing that is powerfull enough to reel back in might have too much resistance when reaching out? my mate dosent bother with a saw lanyard at all! wouldnt trust myself without one but i guess it never tangles!
-
thanks for the replies.
-
cool thats good to know, had no idea they were set up like that . although i did notice some teeth were more worn than others.
-
cool thanks for the replies, ive always just used a longish extension handle and done them up pretty much as tight as i can , but i havent really a clue what torque they actually are, that said we have never had a problem. on a side note the bolts used to tighten without the use of an allen key socket holding the bolt head but lately they just seem to slip, is this something to do with the serrated washers??. il probably get the boss to get a torque wrench, at least it will be vaguely the right torque then. thanks carl
-
cool, what is the purpose of this, are they marked? thanks
-
do people use them when doing up chipper blades? if so which ones are easy to read, its on a jensen 540 and i think the torque is 310nm. thanks carl
-
what is a leading tooth pocket???
-
yes we scratched it up a bit first. my mate also made a little stub on the back of a pole set hook for putting up a rope, it looked like it would never stay on but its still there, so its tough stuff.
-
we used some two part putty stuff, just cleaned it all up and scratched the paint off, our crack was on the front though. it has worked for a while now. i think it may have been made by evostick.
-
we all seem to be in agreement that a second climber would do a better job of a rescue than a aerial rescue ticketed groundy, so whats the difference between the two!
-
interesting post, i had often wondered whether anyone had performed an aerial rescue. i cant see any disadvantage from a workers point of view in practicing rescues, not that we do very often mind.

hi. i dont think there is anywhere near the level of surveying done ireland compared to the uk. there isnt much tree protection law and homeowners often prefer to spend the money on tree work rather than surveys. local councils are doing more surveys id say , so i imagine survey work will increase in the future. iam just a working arborist in west cork, so thats all i now about if you know what i mean. carl

thanks for the feed back, il probably go with the 129 husky, weve just been doing some heavy strimming jobs at work so kinda enjoying being unable to strim at home!
-
fair enough,ive not used the square section stuff, just the traditional half round profile.
-
are you meant to fix through the troughs?
-
yes that was the one i had in mind as it looks pretty much the same as my old husky one which i had for over ten years and did some heavy stuff with it.
-
as per title, dont need a massive machine, i would prefer cow horn handles but probably dont need then. i had a small husky one that i was happy with so may well get another, any other shouts ? thanks carl
-
please please keep this quiet over there TY, i dont want my french holiday plans disrupted!!!
-
those slings dont look ideal tbh mick, bit chunky for side branches i would say, i use either rock climbing slings or thin cord kinda prussic diameter, then make a closed loop with a double fishermans knot then larksfoot that onto the karribiner, i have a rack of ten of them mainly for side branches, you need a good few of them on spruce type trees as you can send down a whole load of branches at once, or at least be climbing around setting slings while you wait for the ground crew. i think i put a picture up here of my set up. the rock climbing slings can be quiet cheap and are super light and you can buy a few different lengths so you can select the best for the branch.

i think you are getting mixed up between battery garden tools and battery diy tools, battery garden tools are designed to work outside in the wet ( well the ones i have used have been fine). as to the op question , yes petrol garden tools are fine in the rain
-
the fly wheel is a different design on our newer low hp engine jensen, not sure whether that would be a problem if you changed the engine settings
