  1. but could the use of using thermal imaging not be practable to all tree surveys? where a picus can take hours, and core sampling imo old skool and invasive, and both only offer a specific view of the inside of a tree in the specified survey point, the thermal imaging takes minuites, highlighting potential demons in the whole tree. i think thermal imaging could be deemed reasonable . . .
  2. were the fallen limbs roadside or estate side of the fence? sorry for the Q's, just interested:001_smile:
  3. Sweden - http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/picture-forum/16317-joshs-sweden-thread-bit-norway.html
  4. cool set of pictures there! does someone have to climb up the tree to unattatch the crane's strop sean?
  5. so wooded, in you're avatar, youre using an 880? do you not see any benifits of using a 460 which would out perform the 880 on that stick?
  6. i find the new style bottem of the range navara better to drive, comfier, bigger, quieter than the new style l200 animal. . . both approx 4 year old
  7. nice one martin, id love to be able to make stuff like that, but my favorite tools the hammer:blushing: gonna be ready for new years day then?
  8. free hand with decent files, (oregon) free hand for the depth gauges, never use a vice, cuts perfectly everytime, i did buy a grinder last year for when a 3+ft chain hits metal, but never used it! touch up a little and often, dull chains annoy the hell out of me, like stevie said, super sharp so you can do crazy stuff nothing more satisfying than filing past the witness marks:thumbup:
  9. well you want the biggest saw possible for milling, power rules. ms880 is what i use. for milling 24 inch, you prob need a 30inch bar minimum, as the mill deducts a few inches, if you go the 880 route, a 36inch bar and chain and mill would be ideal BUT, if youre going to be felling the trees with the same saw, the 880 is major over kill, so a ms660 would be my choice, with 25inch bar for felling and cross cutting and 30inch for milling with milling chain. and might aswell get a 36inch mill incase you go bigger bar/saw in the future (a big mill will fit smaller bars)
  10. I'll be honest, im really really supprised that trees being saved T, good on you for leading the way though, hope it proves a success
  11. well i thought about being a tough guy today, not wearing waterproofs like's been said, but i chickened out, goretex Taiga trousers over c'saw trousers, stien jacket over multiple thin layers and Sealskin gloves, stayed warm and 100%dry all day despite being -4 in a wood felling in a blizzard which is still going . . .
  12. theres nothing cool, visious or macho about dyed blonde tom
  13. i want the tiger to win, because a polar bear rug would be ace
  14. I hope youre boy kicked off all the mushrooms during his climb:001_tongue: nice work dave+team:thumbup1:
  15. the original 130's, the 127's were 110s stretched by landrover, i think it was when the 127 got renamed the 130 with the 200tdi engine it had a purpose built chassis do the points system not come into effect on this?
  16. MY performance yes, but do animals like underware?
  17. so theyve both got breasts and can tell you the temperature before they die??? how on earth is that performance enhancement?
  18. Where abouts in france are you?
  19. thats a yes then i say wolf, more agile
  20. are they allowed performance enhancing drugs rob?
  21. occassional use on a 660 yes, not on a 460 though!
  22. but with training and knowledge, you will be prepared. you will be able to spot potential dangers, adapt youre techniques to minimise the risk ect ect
  23. hi ben, the landy was collected yesterday!
