evenin all, the engelbert strauss troosies seem to be pretty good. Long leg version, fit better than my husky technicals, seem a bit cooler and lighter as well, and seem to have a bit more stretch. come with a natty elasticated belt, which keep them up without needing braces. have a scrench pocket if you are that way inclined, with a sturdy rubber tube to hold the scrench in such a way that it shouldnt stab you (if like me you cant even look at a pile of brash without falling on your arse). only had em a week so cant comment on longevity. not climbed in them yet either, but will be this weekend so i'll report back. but i reckon i'd rather have two pairs of these than a pair of stretch airs. suitable for lunges...

why? its an interesting, natural and harmless event? they should be sympathetic to that... could always get a broom and a sack and re-locate them if they are that worried...

One of the few oaks at a property i look after, and closest to the house itself... Roots disturbed on 3 sides at various times in the past. Thick wire included in the bark at the base of the tree. Some large deadwood in the lower crown. Lean over driveway towards outbuilding (to the right of the drive in first pic). Retention and retrenchment is the name of the game... My initial thoughts 10-15% reduction of the uppermost crown (basically 2meters off the top) with coronets and fracture prunes (to hopefully stimulate some growth in the lower and inner canopy). Perhaps a tad more reduction on the driveway side of the tree. Reduction of the large dead limb over the drive (but retaining as much as possible). Have another look in ten years and reduce further... Thoughts?

cheaper alternatives to the iron horse

tracked dumper would get my vote... little skid steer loaders tend to have rather poor ground clearance for woodland work, and dont like slopes very much -
excellent job mate, looks good

google deadblow hammer... et voila

standard screw settings should be etched on one of the plastic covers near the adjustment screws. 3/4turn h and l screws is standard on the 130. the 4-mix engines are fickle creatures tho, might need regular fine adjustments.... or a hammer http://www.stihlusa.com/stihl_ownersmanuals/KM110_130_Manual.pdf -manual here, page 22 for carb adjust

read it again pal... from £10.50... for your ten fiddy you would recieve one 'wall mounting bracket' the barrier doodah itself would set you back £60.45.... or £140 with cone... not as dear as all that, but i'd make do with a bit of rope or hazard tape...

loving your little red tonka toy geoff, and your collection of treasure is awesome, some really pretty little bits of history:thumbup1: -
an echo dealer... it should have a walbro wyp-4a carb... any husky/stihl dealer should be able to get you walbro parts. if not i can probably rustle up some echo part numbers for the seperate diaphrams. good luck

a fairly pleasant couple of days from last week, felling and burning a stretch of monterey pines. planted 19yrs ago as a windbreak for the rest of the garden, i was originally asked last year to reduce them by 30% (didnt happen) then was asked to reduce by 50%.... wasnt really feeling that, so suggested a 100% reduction and thats what we did. best part of the job... smoking out the nextdoor golfcourse for a day and a half.... oh if looks could kill

that is an awesome looking machine mate... and friendly local transport company does sound better than new truck, trailer, and skipping breakfast in order to legally shift it anywhere. question is, would a variable track 9" machine not be more versatile and useable day to day?
-
thats a thing of beauty jon... new truck and trailer on the cards as well, to shift the thing around?

Lanhydrock estate had a load of saws stolen at the end of feb... wouldnt suprise me if other estates get a visit before long, id imagine they are quite an easy target with the amount of foot traffic, and vehicles coming and going.

What is the weight of the lightest self-propelled chipper?

TS GM10 M Holzzerkleinerer looks expensive...

i have a purely professional interest
-
sorry for casting doubt on your size:laugh1:
-
dont over-think it, just order a large spline 8 pin rim (stihl pn- 0000 642 1216)
-
cheers, thought it would be a toss up between chipper size and payload... (if i understand you correctly, that you had a small chip body on the same truck?) find those pics:001_smile:
-
what chipper did you have on it robert?
-
cheaped to replace rims than spur sprockets in the long run tho rob...
-
just checked, no rims on the parts list, but 3 different spur sizes
