  1. No idea, this was 5 years ago. The hospital tested me for loads of things, but all came back negative
  2. Jo has reciently started climbing for me, and is proving to be quite adept. Awkward tree with no central tie in, and a large Chicken of the woods bracket at the base.
  3. Most cranes struggle slewing with a load. Bring it in closer, and use the rotate to get it moving in the right direction before you start slewing.
  4. The poor old Log Bullet has been feeling neglected of late, so what better way of resolving this than steep ground and dreadful access. #Dullasditchwater
  5. First thinning will be £60-70 per cube
  6. What is the approx volume of the trees?
  7. Give me a tinkle 07966 792798, i can give you the highs and lows of owning a log chomper.
  8. If you can stock pile enough to chip and fill a silage trailer, and you are not too far from a biomass producer, then it would produce a small return for you
  9. Sorry yet more winching
  10. I am sure that the chain speed is less than 25m/s for all non forestry spacific cutters. Chain shot is not an issue at these speeds.
  11. I have found it generally associated with dead wood, and i would guess that it will happily stay within the wound compartment for many years. I would be more concerned about root damage from the surrounding development.
  12. £200 is not a large amount for referenced professionalism
  13. I think they are still messing around
  14. I would be starting with Rigidoporis ulmarius Giant elm bracket
  15. Ben Burgess is importing Laski, which is the same. Laski Stump Grinders - Ben Burgess WWW.BENBURGESS.CO.UK predator-stump-grinders-narrow-access-petrol-radio-controlled
  16. First impression, I would say silver leaf.
  17. After 30 years i still over/under price jobs. Customers want confidence, so a couple of technical words, but not too many go a long way. You ain't gonna win them all. Options work in a few cases, but aways require good access. 9 out of 10 cases, there is only one option. Stick to your decision, and don't be swayed by the customer.
  18. I've got a Farmi 5 tonne trailer with 3.8 crane, 5k no vat
  19. My apple trees are the most unloved trees in west Wales, and still they produce more apples than i can deal with. I spend quite alot of my working life pruning apple trees, and not one of these 'looked after' trees produces as much fruit as my unloved trees .
  20. The original leader was pruned out when it was in the nursery to encourage horizontal growth, for better fruit production. Fruit trees are always best left to their own devices.
  21. The tree is still standing after the 2 pre Christmas storms. Ratchet straps are a godsend to reassure the climber . Levels of leaf cover in the canopy is the deciding factor. A tractor and 8 tonne winch is the safest method.
  22. The chain speed on grapple is below 25m per sec, so chainshot isn't an issue.
  23. Here you go @Squaredy a couple of pictures. There isn't going to be enough to make up a lorry load from the windblow, but we will thinning here this winter.
