  1. Hmmmmmmm Cant imagine why you dad a problem then:laugh1:
  2. Perhaps its not as green as he thinks
  3. Can you back that with any fact
  4. Well if you insist on putting those long days in.......................
  5. Agreed but we were talking specifically about tree work, most of that is domestic and by its very nature would be in a 30 zone
  6. This point about overnight lighting is probably spurious for the trailers most tree surgeons use, there is a requirement for LGV's to be lit but AFAIK no requirement for anything sub 3500kg,,,,,,unless you know different.....
  7. It tends to be the middle of the panel that bulges and causes problems. A couple of lengths of scaffold board to support the mesh and braced across the enclosure with something as simple as a length of polly prop solves the problem
  8. Giraffes Its well liked by giraffes. I gave a whopper away to a zoo, they collected the entire thing in a grab wagon and even took the stem for the monkey enclosure
  9. I think that the majority of "escape bids" would still be attached or partially on the "owners land" and therefore part of it
  10. The law holds that the tree belongs to the land whence it grew Its his and he shouldn't retrieve it without your consent. It and any damage caused would be a civil case, the police wont be interested unless he strays into criminal damage in the act. Any damage caused would probably be a civil case Suit for damages and possible counter suit for the value of the timber is the worst case, you have done well to come to an understanding
  11. Make yourself comfy mate, any fireworks aren't likely to start until the week end, pass the popcorn......

    Bow Saw

    Good man, just watch your fingers, they are sharp and they do bight:001_rolleyes:
  13. FFS, its a joke, aller..gin.......Did you miss that or are you just a tough audience???
  14. Allergin: abnormally vigorous immune response to Juniper based clear spirits:001_rolleyes: FTR it doesn't trigger the allergen, pollen is the allergen
  15. There is a fundamental difference is that you generally need to be doing something unsafe or dangerous to get hurt with a hydraulic splitter, whereas a cone splitter will attempt to maim or kill you at any time, without reason.
  16. Its better described as topping rather than pollarding Its going to have the undesired effects that topping has but give it a go
  17. The down side to a hydraulic splitter powered by the tractors internal pump is that they can often be quite worn leading to them under performing with initial pressures dropping off as the tractors back end oil warms up and gets thinner. A self contained splitter will give you constant reliable flow and pressure
  18. Its always pouring down somewhere in Norway
  19. Where are you?
  20. The inner part (smaller dia) of the taper lock Its simple if they are in one piece but still easily do able if its broken
  21. Even the biggest (top of the range) mains powered units probably wont have the torque for anything tougher than sycamore and since the design purpose is to occasionally spin a hand full of fasteners off, the chance of it having a useable duty cycle is minimal
  22. Is torque your only consideration? What about power supply, duty cycle stuff like that?
  23. All things are possible and its a novel idea but is it a good one??????
  24. Ask yourself this. Can you show another machine of that type with anything other than a hydraulic ram? Who is filling your head with this nonsense?
  25. Agreed, but, I have used the "cheapo" stuff on nail ridden municipal trees but I found hitting a foreign body destroyed the cheapo chain where a better made example just needed a touch up with a file
