I thought it was taking me ages…. 🤦♂️

I bought a Titan breaker recently on the strength of borrowing my friends for a day. Seems very well made for the money. Heavy and a bit vibey, but it’s a breaker not a duster!
-
Is this for work mate, or have you moved again?
-
He’s got to win, to take him one step further towards the John Fury fight.
-
Same reason f***wits build houses next to trees I suppose.
-
Will may well have sussed it. Imagine having enough pull to snap a 2.8t rated rope on your bridge? I won’t complain so much about my harness occasionally nipping my nuts in future….

@josharb87 also has good contacts there.

Trout are carnivores.

Big ol' Pine tree leaning about 45 degree angle

If you stood it back up it would fail again anyway because the rootplate is obviously compromised. Pics would help. -
Yooung Eucalypus with co-dominance. Prune?
Mark Bolam replied to mundalah's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
They’re nice takedowns Mick. ’Giving it a light trim because it’s getting a bit big’ not so much. -

I said distant future mate. Dream big! Everyone knows we earn a fortune. ’£500 just to take that tree down, you must be loaded!’ -

Seriously, I would take the whole thing out now and replace it with a better specimen. Preferably one that’s not a Eucalyptus. Nice trees, but nothing but bother. -

So small-minded Will. The weak stem might fail one day in the distant future as you drive past it on holiday, and put a nasty dent in your Bentley. -

Just leave it alone. Think about the next generation of arbs. -
Do you need the car for family etc., or purely for work?
-
Winded off?

I like vegans. More meat for me.

Perfectly captured David. That’s Mick Stockbridge on the horse.

It certainly looks pretty sketchy. You can hire a MEWP with an operator. He puts you where you want to be, you cut. Most have 2 man cages. Down here that hire would be £450/day.
-
Do mate. He may at least be able to point you in the right direction. Arb is a pretty small world.
-
He may well have done mate, it’s been a while. Still worth a shout though Corey, Dean wouldn’t sell out to an idiot. The important thing is to make the call.
-
There’s never a good time tbh mate. Just leave a polite message asking when is a good time to call. Don’t swear. He’s Yorkshire, but not THAT Yorkshire!
-
It shows you’re keen mate, right enough, but he’s also then probably sorting stuff out for the job ahead, and would be a nuisance. I haven’t got 2 mins in the morning, let alone 5 for a chat with someone I don’t know. I’d go 5.30, but that’s just me. Still in work mode, but before shifting into slippers and kids mode. @Mick Dempseymay or may not agree with me, but he’s in France, so allow for the time difference.
-
Aye, the time you ring him may have a bearing on how many f-words he uses! Quick test, when would you think is a good time to call him?
-
Dean is based in Holmfirth mate. Give him a shout and say Bolam sent you. You’ll know more in 5 minutes talking to him than the rest of us can help you with. Home - D A Lofthouse Tree Surgery WWW.DALOFTHOUSETREESURGERY.CO.UK Discover the services of D A Lofthouse Tree Surgery, Brighouse
