Wouldn't want to be staggering back from.the pub and suddenly spot that in someone's garden that's for sure, fantastic piece of carving!
-
Is yours more attractively priced than the ram wedge clarks sell as that could be a big part of finding a UK reseller, hope you do get sorted as it looks a good product.

Flat back wagon with big crane on, lift the bits off onto itself and away, get some pictures up and 1 of the carvers may have it and pay the haulage. I also use a local heavy haulage company who has a monster crane on a wagon to lift stuff into grain trailers for us, expensive but efficient.

Hurts like hel when you stub your toes on it as well!;-)

Did a single piece of timber coffee table all with the mill's and got an order for a slightly smaller 1 done the same from a bit of oak I have. Next year we will be over the other side as I had a word with the organisers and was promised a bit of a reduction in price next year.

Might be a re application but won't necessarily mean it'll be passed without some ball crunching constraints!

Sorry for scaring him but he wasn't the only 1, scared plenty of Shetland ponies in the morning resulting in 1 poor girl getting dragged across the ring, wasn't particularly happy with where we were put as had purposly told them we would be demoing noisy stuff so they stick me next to the in hand showing ring, only did half the stuff I had planned for the lads to do. Apart from the rain we had a good day and had a few good follow up calls particularly for the cherrypicker.

Ha ha so not only did they get a fine but lost the planning to build the homes which would be a real financial hit! No mention of the contractor/person responsible for the actual cutting of the tree as surely they should also be held accountable?
-
Simple really the winch is manually fitter onto the 3 point linkage and pto on the mounting plate with the hydraulic motor inside then as and when eddy needs it on the excavator he can just pick it up like any other implement he has and the wizardry of his system connects the hydraulics to run the motor so run the winches pto.

Footwells are a favourite to go, had to do mine as if I'd ever got a nervous passenger pushing the brakes for me they'd have been doing a Fred flintstone impression, also check the mounting brackets for the rear tub itself as I've seen 1 stacked up with hay bales go round a corner and snap clean of the rest of the truck, nearly flipped the landy and blocked the road for nearly an hr while we helped the very shaken old farmer sort it out, bolts had rusted to nowt from years of sheep pissing in the back. -
That's simple twice as much as anyone wants to pay and half as much as you'd like to get for them.

High milage and questionable condition at that prise jase, spend a bit more and cost less in the long term, decent 110 hi caps are becoming hard to come across and have increased in value in the last year or so. Unfortunately most were farm vehicles and the disinfectant dip during foot and mouth killed the chassis on these vehicles so you could end up re placing a lot of mettle if you get unlucky.
-
I'm sure they could have the power to have altered or even suspended the planning consent on the site which would have really hurt!! Replanting as you say would have been a good start for sure!
-
Hardly a deterrent if a 38k fine means you can get 2 more 200k houses on the site. I know that particular tree officer and I'm sure he'd have been pushing for more!

Managing Trees with Decay & Dysfunction
Gray git replied to David Humphries's topic in Tree health care
Following on from a post in today's job thred here is two further trees in the same parkland for you to muse over David. Nice hollow sycamore that house jackdaws and packed with sticks, lost is top last year but is quite shelter inbetween to others so will stop and the ash I believe has shaggy bracket, without book can't spell proper name. Lost a big limb about a year ago and fruity body's appear round this wound so going to heavily reduce just the hight to drop it below the hight of the woodland edge about 30m away so hopefully shelter it a bit Viable plan? -
We are going back to monolith some other old ash and start a bit of retrenchment on some compromised oaks within the grazing fields outside the main hall grounds most of which were ear marked for a stump but talked the head forester into letting us give them a stay of execution. I think they fear the liability side of things after a jump stewards car was badly damaged at the last event when a large chestnut limb failed and hit it mid competition, luckily noone was hurt. Can't save em all David.

Start low and hope for the ebay bidding fever to set in close to the end
-
Wooo just looked at your link, that's come down in price from the op's link at 73k!
-
Check out his Facebook page, not business 1, his own nd see for yourself.

Chris gill just bought it!!
-
Possibly but where it was in a very used part of the parkland it was considered unnecessary as bouldering a woodland where trees of equal habitat value course little potential danger in comparison. This particular estate has many large veteran trees in among younger plantations which are.mostly left to there own devices. The trunk is likely to be winched into the wood and left as offers little comershal value so will be left to the bugs and beasty decay squad.

No climbing josh, had my flying carpet with me ;-)
-
All the fun and non of the pain as the estate staff are going to sort it on Monday. :-D
-
Surely the point in having a tpo on a tree is to protect it and help prevent poor standards of work being subjected apon them?? And surely as an arb company trying to promote a high standard it should be encouraged that if we know it's about to go wrong it should be prevented if possible rather than see a perfectly healthy tree be damaged to a point it may become unviable much sooner than it should rather than sit back nd say wasn't me so not my problem and leave it to the council to pathetically pursue a prosecution.
-
Ha Haa think that was the only decent bit of timber in it! Made the fransgard squeal a bit as had to tip the tree against its lean to avoid a dawn redwood and a mettle fence and luckily that buttress was in rite place to hold it over.
