    There shouldn't be any noticeable noise at any speed. If you flip the belts off and spin the flywheel by hand (mind yer fingers) the action should be smooth, bearings on their way out will rumble and knackered ones will allow the flywheel to move with the aid of a pry bar or similar.

    Anyone know how to get splinters out of the nether regions?

    A lot of judgement based on a photograph. None of us can see what's on the other side of that rise. Could be three or four guys sitting in the sun eating lunch.

    If the tree is subject to a TPO the LA can dictate what you can and cant do, in a conservation area you get to say what you want to do and they get to say yes or no. Many trees in a conservation area are of lower amenity value and as such if a notification to fell were presented the LA would probably allow it rather than make an order then loose at appeal Not that this is significant to you, a "211" to put lag hooks into a tree for a tree house is going to be frowned upon, have you considered other methods?

    My condolences. Nothing anyone can say will make this better but time will make it less raw.

    Nooooooooooo . In a conservation area you NOTIFY your intention, the LA has then the option of making a TPO to prevent you carrying out your notified works or allowing you to carry them out. This is effectively a lesser degree of protection unless what you proposed is ruinous to trees of sufficient amenity value Any invasive works will be looked on with a sceptical eye, making the tree house free standing with any attachments done with non invasive techniques will be your best route to a problem free installation. Bolting beams and suspension points will likely attract a TPO

    Do you mean by this an area order or are you referring to the conservation area

    That's the spirit, a towing licence can be worth more than tickets.

    Once you have checked the electrical system (the most likely candidate) if the fault persists we can look at other causes.

    Just a slight derail Keep using it or you loose it.....respect to the "burn the bus pass" attitude

    Get yourself a 12v test lamp and make sure you have supply to the switch and that the switched feed goes live, assuming that's ok chase the live till you find a problem, it goes to a relay and then the coil on the solenoid valve next. Solenoids and coils can go bad, they usually just stop working but what you describe could be a thermal fault.

    I wouldn't call the filler breather definitive, it's a standard hydraulic part available over the counter at any good hydraulic supplier, you can even get them on ebay hydraulic filler breather | eBay

    Rams aren't any tons pressure John, in order to know what force a ram will deliver you need to know the dimensions of the ram and the operational pressure As far as powering it off a tractor goes most tractors have a feed and return (even if you have to improvise on some older models) The splitter will have an open centre valve to operate it, just plug the feed and return into the feed and return on the tractor and away you go.

    My money is on JCB, the early ones had those big assed threaded collars on them. Bet he says he bought it as a single item and hasn't a clue:laugh1:

    Sooooo that has to beg the question, which category do you fall into?

    Or not, if the tree were a good candidate for an order it would probably have got one. For less worthy trees its only natural that the LA would tend toward the "negotiation" tactic in cases where if they TPO'd it they would probably loose at appeal. When all is said and done the acid test for the LA officer looking at a CA tree has to be, "would I win this at appeal", if the answer is yes then crack on with the TPO, if not then let it go, or try to bluff the owner that you have powers you don't. As for the admin, well that's just a form to fill in and its free, as for delays, well if it were hand to mouth enough that that was a deciding factor I would go stack shelves for Tesco's

    I do it but the HSE frown upon the practice, sounds like yours is domestic works so that's outside their remit anyhow. The over riding factor should be time to assistance, calling in on a periodical basis is a poor system, say the interval is hourly and you get hurt at the start of the hour, the next call in is an hour away then that person has to get to you or mobilise help to what is essentially an unknown location. It could take quite some time for help to arrive and if you are badly injured it might be too long Consider getting a labourer in for the chainsaw days

    The operative word there is ASK, they ask and you can decline.
