If anyone wants one I have a Kesla 19G tree shear as new for sale. Open to offers.

Have a large tipping skip that I used to use on the back of my kesla forwarding trailer. Used to take the bolsters off and strap on. Lifted on with forklift was handy for sites with a lot of ringed up timber rather than stems. Also used it on the back of the MB Trac forward control as the bin for the Hazohack chipper. Think it holds 5m3.

NT has form and there rewilding policies are forcing many long term tenants off their farms. At the end of the day you have to ask who benefits most from the loss of 1 tree if it allows a whole forest to be planted as part of their "rewilding" programme paid for by public funding.

I assumed you where having a pop at me for suggesting the tenant could be within his rights to cut the tree down. That was in response to cosmiccutter on page 8 of the wow thread stating the farmer could have been relieved of his tenancy by NT. All I did was point out the law in respect of certain agriculture tenancies whereby the outgoing tenant is entitled to a waygo on any unharvested crop whether that be corn, potatoes, timber etc. Normally a value is agreed and the landlord pays it. If the value cannot be agreed then the tenant has the option to harvest the crop. Obviously for mature timber the normal caveats would apply of licences etc. As for the finance agreement I was not getting at the op just trying to warn that banks are not to be trusted from my own bitter experience.

Not patronising at all just a warning that banks can make up their own rules and get away with it through the courts from bitter experience. Its a matter of court record so anyone can check it out and involves a personal guarantee given on a HP agreement that was never taken out. The company was advised by the bank if they took out the more onerous lease purchase agreement there would be no requirement for the personal guarantee. At trial the bank just stood up in court and stated they only did one sort of agreement and that Lease Purchase and Hire Purchase just referred to that one type of agreement. The Judge found for the bank and I had to pay out on the personal guarantee.

What "facts" might they be.

Yes its very rare I venture onto Arbtalk anymore like many others have decided its just not worth the abuse.

You will have a lease purchase agreement despite what you think you have. You will only find out at the end of the contract by which time its to late to do anything about it.

Who would put money on this sycamore not growing back if fenced off so the public/wildlife cannot damage it.

As I said I am not going to speculate but looking through the normal landlord tenant agreement I came to the same conclusion as you regarding whether it was legal or not.

We dont know the circumstances as yet so to early to speculate. However if it was a landlord, tenant dispute at the end of the lease and the landlord refuses to pay waygoing on the mature tree then the tenant would be entitled to coppice the tree subject to the normal caveats.

Not easy felling a tree in full leaf into a gale force wind but if you want to try be my guest.

Think you will find when the full story comes out there is a very good reason.

Have a Magnum Kohler 8 if that is any use. Converted my kindling machine to electric so engine is surplus.
