Absolutely correct. Plus now you have posted, indefensible. K

@openspaceman Definately the detail in these jobs sucks the money out, plus economy of scale, that Valtra mulcher roared through brush all day but was to rich fr some clients, 690squid a day 2010, which often people wouldnt pay - but the finish was fab. K

@Bobbies that I can understand , but looking at the blade design with my shed engineers eye, it ain't a good design , sorry. An mates of mine have had three Forst trashed with blade failure. The other stuff of switches, filters n electronics CAN happen with any make , to be fair. K

( but worried guy is asking for reduction advice for a customer on here - as I normally consider it a skilled arborists job )
-
@Mick Dempsey you can reduce it to the floor , it may still grow...... K
-
Reductions are my greatest contention - basically NO ! Then take minimum off for legal issues ( Highways Act etc, screaming neighbours )then if you must, reduce to a good growth point, which for the clueless is NOT a stub you wish to have it grow from, it's a lateral branch that will continue to feed the main branch you cut. Leave top growth where possible, as that continues apical dominance in most species. If it has reached it's ultimate height, it will grow less in reaction to pruning. Thinning of crown ( particularly Hornbeam and Willow ) may give better tree health and result for client. It's species sensitive and seasonal timing is important, 'heavy reductions ' lead to future decay and failure of part of, or whole tree in many cases. K

Now Mr Bill hook, your winter of discontent is made glorious summer by this Son of York ? I very have as it's where I grew up. K

Can't think of any reliability issues with Green disc mech or Bandit or TP or Shliesling , all built to last . Timber wolf's a bit lightweight, tho K

No Shires, i think they are fatally flawed n nothing short of exorcism or pushing off Beachy Head will suffice. K

Tree climbing project in garden - keep tree healthy
Khriss replied to dvc's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Get tree assessed every few years by certified tree inspector, as yr stomping around root plate that leads to soil compaction, so some woodchip around tree, depth of 2 to 3 inch. But it looks great fun ? K -
Axiom of uniform stress - any explanation for it?
Khriss replied to stewmo's topic in Tree health care
That'll confuse you ? it's very theoretical, but a must have. Should have got my copy signed ? K -
Dear God , please No !!! ( wot shower gel ?? ) Yes, as we have enjoyed cheap I phones n cheap chainsaws from that - maybe it's our turn ???? Definately there on the disposable shite argument !
