    I can see how that could happen on steep ground very easily but you can turn the tilt off if you want, luckily this site is fairly flat just a bit rough in buts with windblown stumps to avoid Sent from my VF-795 using Arbtalk mobile app

    This weeks office was big and green and had the fastest crane I've ever used till I reprogrammed the settings down to about 75% The levelling rotating cab definitely makes for a very comftable working environment ! Sent from my VF-795 using Arbtalk mobile app

    Busy time has hit this week in full force and it's going to be a shock to the system after a relaxed month or so before just bimberling along taking time and enjoying jobs. At least I'm not having a summer holiday this year to try and work round as saving up for Lapland at Christmas for the kids. http://www.dryadarb.co.uk

    She had a stroke head on but hung on the end of the standard boom not like 1 in video. http://www.dryadarb.co.uk

    Really, the one I used was awful, didn't help the power slide didn't realy work so you shifted it in n out with the dipper, very little slew power and always overheating the hydraulic system http://www.dryadarb.co.uk

    Used 1 of those in the late 90s as a harvester, absolutely horrible machine by modern standards. http://www.dryadarb.co.uk

    Spotted this strange boom set up on my way home tonight which seems to giv a heck of a reach but then still allow for close in work without a stupidly high boom, bet it'd be good for a small mulcher head on bankings. http://www.dryadarb.co.uk

    👆what they said ☝ Had the Velcro bottoms when I 1st got some and by the time I was half way up a tree they had worked loose every time and slipped back under my heal so quite quickly swaped the bottoms over to leather straps. http://www.dryadarb.co.uk

    I do remember seeing more females at the arb show this year, 1 in particular was sporting a rather well fitting pair after hiflex which seemed to suit her shape very nicely. 😍(apologies if it's your Mrs but well done) When my wife worked more on the tools with me the best fit at the time we found was the old knee flex but the only boots we could get small enough were the old brown tractor tread Sthil boots, horrid heavy things but last forever. Got a young lass near us starting a arb course soon and has already asked if she can do some of the work placements with us which I think is fantastic as she could easily show up a lot of young lads I've worked with with her attitude towards work, safety and generally getting on with things. http://www.dryadarb.co.uk

    Nope, nothing done at all. My view is a decent bit of wind will being down another of the tops due the now damaged/compromised union where 1 has torn out. Dead tree, easy to interpret Dangerous, well that's open to opinion I guess but is there any definition within the tpo regs to define this? http://www.dryadarb.co.uk

    What is the actual wording that turns a standard concivation area application into a 5 day notice removal? We have just looked at a very large Cyprus in a active graveyard that is 3 stemed at around 14ft, 1 has failed an smashed some remembrance stones and torn the stem and left several large hung up branches. I had the planning offices out to look at it nd they agreed that a removal would be passed but insisted it go's the full 6 weeks when I think if they agree to it being taken on safety grounds why carnt we just crack on nd get it done as the church are papping themselves someone gets hurt while visiting the remembrance area but don't want to barrier it all off aa feel that would be rather insensitive to relatives wanting to visit.

    Don't think they would go with that as rite on roadside, what I'm proposing is a remove and replant as the road is lined with sycamore, maple and h chestnuts most of which are much older and larger than this and a few trees of about 15 years old so if a poor specimen is replaced it'll give a wider age class along the road and preferably a different species for diversity. Further up the road in the meadow we felled two other beech with crex but left all timber in situe over the brow of the hill to decay naturally but this 1 is opposite driveways. http://www.dryadarb.co.uk

    Tempted to go to the 1 near kurkleas collage as sounds quite interesting research. http://www.dryadarb.co.uk

    I'd try the biomass market for the smaller softwood, you could try Parkend farms nd see if they want a few wagons or I'll try find you a number for a bloke near me who is doing 1000's tons a year at moment unless busy daddy's along soon as he chips for most people around here nd would probably know someone who wants it. Hardwood try the log company Nr Richmond as they do some serious amount a year. http://www.dryadarb.co.uk

    How many tons of both do you have cut nd what specks as might know a few people who are looking for timber for various reasons. http://www.dryadarb.co.uk

    Cracking vid, enjoyed all the different angles you worked into it. How many cameras did you have with you? Got a mate who Flys drones professionally and really looking forward to getting a job that lends itself to getting that sort of footage so I can call him in. http://www.dryadarb.co.uk

    Nope, County council TO wanting it out and District planning officer saying no as it looks fine to them but that was before any fruiting bodied were visible so I've been told to go back to district with new justification to remove, scabby horrible tree compared to all the others along the road but at least the target risk is low if it stays. http://www.dryadarb.co.uk

    I wish, new 1 might get 1 or just plump for getting 1 on the 372 insted http://www.dryadarb.co.uk
