Cheers for the advice. A workshop manual would be really useful. Cheers. My email address is [email protected]

A drystone wall sited very close to trees. No digging for foundations but what is the maximum pressure the wall can exert on the soil without damaging larger roots that lead to feeding networks. What I really want is a figure with a refference. The Soil is a deep brown earth woodland soil. It is free draining. Any comments gratefully received.

I want to rebuild my 020t but Im not sure its worth it. I know it needs a new carb kit because It wont run with the carb its got on but when I put one on from work it seemed to work. It also needs a modern breather pipe and I bodged the stop wire with a bit of earth cable when it snapped. I have also snapped one of the bolts holding on the Exhaust. The Ht lead also pops off the spark plug (I did have a cork in there holding it on) oh and It needs new AV rubbers. Rebuild or scrap? if I Rebuild it, is it easy to put new rings in ? How do you compress them when you fit the piston back in ?

The pictures just magicly arranged themselves like that, Its just because they are small. The photos are from my phone which is why they are tiny. I have never ripped off water shoots but I have tried a pruning knife and that is quite quick. In the past pruning knifes would have been used to do the majority of the pruning. I think I will stick to seccys If you remove the branch collars on lime epicormic it is supposed to stop it coming back. I would imagine this works best if its done every year from an early age.

Cor blimey you wouldnt want to swing of the end of a branch and impale yourself on one of those:001_huh:. I really like the open split one, how did you create that ?

Here are some fruit trees Matt and I pruned on Tuesday. A bit late really but the pruning is carried out every year so the amount coming off is minimal. I try to remove anything facing in towards the center, anything growing vertically, anything rubbing and anything with canker. I also like to flush cut water shoots to stop them shooting again from the dormant buds in the branch collar. New growth is brought back to outward facing buds. Usually about the 2nd or 3rd bud. These trees have had heavier restoration works in the past and my boss has been pruning them for years, they are lovely trees to work, very rewarding. Please post other fruit tree pictures here:001_smile:

Some photos from my phone. Apologies for the quality I really need to get my camera out again. Lime reduction and reshape. I should really have brought those lower branches in a bit more after we crown raised it. It looked nicer before we crown raised it. Its come down quite a lot but I got rid of some thicker stems at the top to give a more natural look. 115m Hawthorn hedge reduction producing approximately 14 tonnes of chip and loads of fire wood. A willow flea beetle ? And 2 other arbtalk members in a Sweet Chestnut on thursday.

My boss has one of those sherril rope bags. Its lovely, I think he got it from honey brothers at the arb show and it cost a lot less than its listed for. I also really like the proclimber rope bag. I really hate rope bags that are not waterproof. My rope bag is made out of an old pair of jeans. Its crap.

SIP ultrafit are very good -
We found a treepedo lurking around some potted up sapplings in the yard, so we knocked on all the neighbours doors telling them exactly what they were living next to. An angry mob soon assembled............... Hangings not good enough for them........

Beautiful. How was the bark removed without scratching the grain ?

any suggestions, descender for 13mm rope
Will Hinchliffe replied to Ben Tidey's topic in Climbers talk
Choke the line then just attatch your friction device to a single leg of the line. I use a VT sometines I put a FO8 infront of it sometimes I dont. I want a short sling to girth hitch to the small eye of the FO8 then I will be able to clip it to the top hole of the hitch climber and there will be a little distance between the FO8 and the hitch. I push the choked part of the line to one side so I can keep it all taught, this is great for allowing you to comfortably cut at any position on the pole. If I was to buy a specific device for this I would want to try the new Petzl RIG or a petzl ID. Im not sure that this would accept a 13mm line. Hope this helps -
any suggestions, descender for 13mm rope
Will Hinchliffe replied to Ben Tidey's topic in Climbers talk
A belay device like a reverso or other stitch plate doesn't dissipate the heat as well as a figure of 8. Stitch plates don't generally accept 13mm ropes. I think the figure of 8 (backed up of course). Is the best option for descending a double 13mm line. The twisting of your rope could be caused by the way you coil and store your rope. I have used a munter hitch to descend double lines and it works but its not as nice as a figure of 8. -
Nice and calm bloke. The video doesn't really show much of the variety of works carried out by arborists but I think its still good. Probably interesting to people not already in the industry.
