Oversized tyres and trip computer inaccuracies
josharb87 replied to Steve Bullman's topic in General chat
when i went from standard wheels on my landrover (205R16) to slightly oversized (31x10.5) i wondered this too, borrowed a gps, and the speedo was dead accurate to the gps reading-guessing the original speedo under-read! -
my reductions go by length-reduce the length of the branch by XX% to nearest suitable growth point, then if that growth point needs reducing/thinning, to keep a good shape so be it! so for me, doing a 25% reduction, a 4M branch would go to 3M - thats whats easier for clients to understand too johns 30% looks like what id do for 30%

When does a person become a "tree surgeon"?
josharb87 replied to Perkins's topic in Training & education
i think NPTCs mean naff all-theres plenty of people out there who have all the tickets, but are usless, and theres those who havent done any tickets who are simply awesome in a tree. in my opinion, its quality of workmanship to the standard relevant to the time (40 years ago had anyone heard of target pruning? lowering devices? CODIT?) -
done the one day course a few months back, near bury st edmunds, intresting but not overly helpfull for tree works!

ms 660 30inch bar easy to use in the tree if youre using a big saw in the tree, its gonna be at the end of the day-dont really want an 880 up there! 880 for the ground ringing up fooooking big stuff! 660 copes with pretty much everything anyway

shopping-you go in (fully clothed preferably, but pjs will do if youre too lazy to put proper clothes on), pick things up, pay, leave, eat/use youre purchase almost as complex as rocket science
-
if the bar and chain combo is too big for the power of the saw, is there any chance your dealer could make up a skip chain for you? save buying new bar aswell if it could be done

we had a polish bloke with us, very hard working, no phoning his missus every half hour, decent grasp of english, never complained, too hard working at times-needed to look up more! even brought me a bottle of zubrovka and polish sausages each month for giving him a lift to work!
