    Full isn't harder to sharpen but it is easier to blunt, which is to say its less forgiving if you hit something. Full is more aggressive and providing the saw has the grunt, it will cut faster

    The bad news is that you are still on the hook for the tree, the worse news is that there will be hoops for your contractor to deal with.

    Yup, grinders are the very definition of an act of violence, and swapping a few bearings out is more "essential maintenance" than a repair.

    You will still get a shed load of condensation from the roof and no solar effect from the polly. As a comparison, the 2 couldn't be further apart

    Worst......old gritty rope with a tight jacket Best.......New clean rope and a nice warm place to work

    Its worth a go at least, and if it dies, call it vertical firewood seasoning or a habitat pole.

    Its a gonner mate, fell and re plant time As am aside laying the blame with Doris is a bit of a stretch, its torsional stresses caused by poor morphology (and possibly decay) that did for your tree, Doris was little more than a witness:laugh1:

    Your name is Merlot??????

    When you say in the industry, I think you have to differentiate between those that thought of tree work as a career and those who "took the coin" until something better came along. For the climber it takes a while to get bored where dragging brash for a living gets old quickly

    So, a random guess then:laugh1:

    Steel sides and walls in a regular ISO box are going to lead to serious condensation which will make loggy into soggy Even insulated boxes suffer so use forced ventilation or a de humidifier or both. The only real solution is air plenty of movement

    Do not under estimate the power of the Monsanto death juice and don't assume it was a spray application which would indeed leave other greenery affected. Standard procedure for killing a stump is to drill and apply the agent directly. Eco plugs spring to mind but you can get the same effect by old school drilling a hole and pouring the agent in directly. As for quantity, you don't need much more than a few CC's of concentrate and a single application usually does the job, I have poisoned many stumps over the last couple of decades and never had to go back to one yet. EDIT Holes drilled are also a good indicator of something malicious which may be what they are basing it on but lets not forget that this is a news paper report.

    Sorry for the late response, I was out walking the dogs

    This man speaks the right, relative measurement would be the scientific way to test a theory. A chain will "stretch" and it is subject to the laws of thermal expansion as is the guide bar, and that's the point that people are missing. They see a slack chain and assume it has grown longer. While that is the case the majority of the slackness is caused by the thermal expansion in the guide bar. Volumetrically the bar "grows" more than the chain which causes the bar to move fractionally at the weakest link, which is the bar mount, unless you dogged the bejesus out of it in which case the saw just goes sight as eff as Huck rightly states.

    This The HSE have been informed, best wait for the report.
  23. treequip
    Hornbeam perhaps???
  24. treequip
    So why do you want the info?
  25. treequip
    You are probably right. It's unlikely that such a data set exists and if it does it's unlikely to be anything like current. Why not generate your own data? Get the union involved and mail shot other authorities for payscales. You can get private industry info from situations vacant adverts.
