  1. if we felled and replanted all trees instead of reductions, we would loose a hell of alot of large, irreplaceable structures across the towns and cities, and would be left with a load of freshly staked 10foot trees that probabally wont reach 40years. sometimes imo its best to reduce trees if purely to leave the only 5ft diameter trunk for miles arround, just so someone can look at that girth and ask themselves 'what has that tree seen' and hey if a tree needs reducing on a regular cycle, why not, its money in an arbs pocket, food for their children, and a piece of furniture on the landscape. cost isnt a great deal compared to what would be lost-reduce a veteran oak/lime/beech ect once every 5 year? £500 a time? 2k for 20 extra years, 5k for 50 extra years of a beautifull sized tree has to be worth it-how much more co2 will that reduced tree soak up than a sapling? how many extra birds, insects, fungi will live off that tree compared to a sapling? nice work hama and walnuts can be pollarded:001_tongue:
  2. well mine was the blue and green model, i had it when it first came out as my boss at the time had links to the guy that designed or tested them, something like that. when we were informed about the bridge recall, when i checked my bridge by sliding back the sheath thing that covers the bridge from wear, (and easy visible inspection) the bridge webbing had seperated by approx 10mm, with just the stitching threads holding it together (just)
  3. good job you diddnt have one of the early ones with the faulty stitching on the bridge mesterh, youd have crusified it even more!! mine had the bridge and shackel recall just in time-tineyst bit of shock loading and it would have failed its an ok harness . . . as a spare

  7. cheers for the info boys:) i'll just give them a buzz in the morning, i do like the sound of claiming back expense, as i guess if i claim enough back it would over run from self emloyed tax contributions to the employed tax, (expences would count against both incomes?) giving me a rebate at the end of the year??? i'll have a look for their number and see what they say thanks!

    my dad had a circular bench saw that would be even better as it has a rail(?) you can adjust on one side of the blade to do just that, might see if he still uses it. cheers mate!

  21. tell him the lighter the better-seasoned wood is lighter than wet green wood, logs should be sold by volume for this reason
