  2. haha, cheers steve, maybe, see what martin and his customer reckons! As discussed on the phone mate, looks like a day no problem, get you up there aswell for a play
  3. you'd be supprised just what a quad will do and where it will go, i used to use the honda 550 with winch everyday for 7 months on a conservation contract, awesome machines
  4. when skidding timber out last year (?) a timberwolf 150 got in the way of a recoiling rope after the redirect pullys sling snapped, the force skidded the chipper 10ft sideways across grass, mudgaurd and tail light demolished i done my professional offroad drivers course, and winching and recovery course with Venture 4x4, three holes, wisbech, they were really good 5 years ago!
  5. Mother told me not to use my full name so a paedophile cant find me and rape me
  6. Hire a teleporter with pallet forks to support the stem, chog off the building, gently lower. then load youre truck with cord with the teleporter. then to cover the hire cost, rip the root ball out with teleporter, and charge accordingly

    i'm home

    Good news
  8. no odds to you tom, but makes a diffrence to me, i remember walking through woodlands with my father collecting pinecones to burn, taking home dead branches. if a tree fell across one of the byways or footpaths around us, or the only lane going to our house, we would clear the path and take the wood, not sit at home winging to the landowner to sort it
  9. 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 . . .
  10. were the fallen limbs roadside or estate side of the fence? sorry for the Q's, just interested:001_smile:
  11. was it storm damage?
  12. Sweden - http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/picture-forum/16317-joshs-sweden-thread-bit-norway.html
  13. cool set of pictures there! does someone have to climb up the tree to unattatch the crane's strop sean?
  14. 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?
  15. 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
  16. 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?
  17. 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:
  18. 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)
  19. 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
  20. 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 . . .
  21. theres nothing cool, visious or macho about dyed blonde tom
  22. i want the tiger to win, because a polar bear rug would be ace
  23. I hope youre boy kicked off all the mushrooms during his climb:001_tongue: nice work dave+team:thumbup1:
