PC Treescapes

Sent you a pm

Thanks for sharing, they say the simple ideas are the best

What's going on with that second tree?!

Love the clip of your little one at the start, my son often asks the same as I leave for work :-)

Hi, there are a few different carbs for these, and if you mean the throttle return spring on the primer ball side of the carb you cannot buy it on its own from stihl, you have to buy the whole carb! However Steve aka spudulike on here reworked my old spring when it went and is still going fine -much cheaper than a new carb, also apparently there may be some aftermarket springs that fit, but you would have to ask Steve. Peter

Thank you, will have a look on their website

Hi guys, need to put one of the lads who works for me through his cross cut and maintenance ticket, then his aerial rescue and climbing. Always used arborventure training in the new forest in the past but unfortunately too far away now. Does anyone recommend anyone local to me (Chorleywood, Hertfordshire) have looked at Vale training services in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire - has anyone any experience of them. Any help much appreciated, Peter.

Usually a few silky nicks or going stiff seems to be when they fail

Amazing what you can do with old climbing lines that fail loler, our pull line (ex climbing line) often happily pulls transit and chipper when it gets stuck in grass /light mud, and hasn't broken yet. Shows how strong they really are!

Sorry storing

......so what regulations are there about sorting the 200 litre drum at a yard - and getting it there from the local dealer?

Run entirely on the softwoods my customers don't want to buy ;-)

Outrageous

Sorry not best photo, but if you zoom in it gives you an idea

Yep pricey, but very useful and in my opinion looks smart, will get a photo tomorrow. Still saving up to do the other truck at some point, trouble is there are always so many other toys to buy!

Sorry just over three years old

Just dug through emails, body just over the years old, spec as below, included a galvanised steel sub chassis, rest Ali To manufacture an Ali too; box behind the cab approx 1250 high x 700 wide x 2100 deep, with Ali doors both sides secured by 3 way locking handles. Two shelves with a 50/50 split. To manufacture an Ali tipping body behind the tool box approx 2500 long x 2100 wide x 1400 high, steel bottom and top frame, Ali front and rear corner pillars, floor over laid with Ali planking, Ali planking fixed front and sides to 1400 above the floor, 500 high Ali plank double acting rear tail gate, 900 high Ali plank rear barn doors over and above the tail gate with removable bar above, removable ladder bar at the front and the rear approx 50mm above original bar with 150mm horns above, two recessed lashing rings at the rear, rope hooks, galvanised rear wings, PVC cover, supplied and fitted at our works to your free issue chassis:£4930.00*plus VAT Prices may obviously have changed a bit

Got prices from tip master, brit tip and kmr engineering. Could not work out why tip master were so much more expensive, so went with kmr engineering (closer to me than brit tip) who did a great job, body and locker going strong and am very pleased with it - built to my spec. Only thing I have improved is some better locks on tool locker as standard ones not the best - sure this could be speced in a build though

Three pairs even

Had the pairs now, seem to last a year fine, most make it to 18 months but very rough by then, starting to leak on very wet days. Comfy til the end though :-)

I do them for free once the customer has agreed for us to do the work (accepted our price), yes they could still pull out and use another contracter at the last minute, but this has not happened yet

Hi, thank you for your detailed reply. I will be going to look again this morning Many thanks Peter

Taking down an 80/85 foot fire damaged Larch today, result of a large garden shed fire, great views including the Beech we reduced a few months back.

Thank you for the feedback Will speak with client tomorrow, and give them the options Forgot to say the tree is subject to a tpo, so will be have to justify any works what ever we do Peter

After some second opinions please, was asked to look at this Copper Beech. It has what I believe to be Ganoderma Applanatum brackets around entire base of tree. Canopy slightly thin but not too bad, and some dead wood / die back in canopy, but again not much. Is at the end of a car park in grass area for a block of flats. Targets include a neighbouring block of flats and pedestrian access, a pavement and a busy a road, and the car park for the flats that own it. Would people recommend retrenchment pruning or removal? Don't want to waste residents finances on pruning if it then gets condemned or worse falls over! Any thoughts appreciated, failing that is it worth getting an independent arboriculturist survey done ( we advise but mainly geared up for doing the work, not consultancy) many thanks. Peter
