  1. Nope, the bloke who you can see in the film, managed just over 100mph. I was hoping that the fish and chips i had beforehand would give me a bit of extra momentum.
  2. It was a good surprise. It did not feel like 95mph, as i was so high up. The most interesting bit was how they set up the breaking system, well i found it interesting.

  4. I like my Browns woodworker, but i got it for free, And i like anything that is free.
  5. I was also under the impression that gardens are exempt from forestry regulations.
  6. Nice looking woods, good video.
  7. The cost of a tree report
  8. It means that i get £200 more per load.
  9. 24.65 tons of saw logs (larch) £1040, which equals 31.5 m3 or £1260. I know how i am going to to sell them.
  10. I have been having good results with a 20/1 mix that is squirted into a cut stem below a node. i was part of some triales in Cornwall many years ago, and the weaker mixes had a better kill rate. The reason being the chemical was much more mobile and the uptake greater. I left Cornwall before they completed the trials, but the knotweed i have been treating seam to bear this out.
  11. Pictures?? What make and where did you get it from?
  12. Industry guidance for felling trees above an undergound water main. I have referred to HSE G47, and NJUG10, but i can not find anything that gives spacific gidance for the removal of said trees. Welsh water have bent over backwards in being unhelpful in this matter, some of you loons out there must have to do this, what do you refer to ?

    Dodder.

    It has a beautiful pink flower, and quite common on the western oceanic heaths around here.
  14. The block of Sitka next to the larch i am currently clearfelling is all massively defoliated. I have been meaning to look into why, and now i probably know why. Thankyou
  15. Shame you are so far from me, as the mighty Nuffield Zetor combo would be ideal for extracting your wood.
  16. That looks like a Vapourer moth catapilla
  17. I use the Colorado around the coast here in Pembrokeshire with the kids. Not as fast as a sit on, but very stable on the water, and very portable. Just be careful with fishing hooks. All in all brilliant.
  18. They don't like it up um
  19. Laylandii and most conifers goes through ok, it the bushy nature of cryptomeria that causes the problems.
  20. I have had this for the the last 18 months, i can not fault it for the price. Provided the blades are sharp it wizzes through most things. It does not like cyptomeria though. http://www.drproducts.co.uk/product/dr-rapid-feed-chipper-pro.aspx
  21. Here in lies the problem with 5837 reports; it is subjective, and based on the persons view who is writing the report. You are the one writing the report Ben so it is your opinion, others will disagree. Provided you can back up your reasons, then the tree officer should not be able to change the categories. Remember you are the professional consulting Arb, he or she (tree officer) is not. Happy arguing.
  22. You will need to go down about 6m, and that a lot of digging. the only way to stop it spreading is to treat it with chemicals.
  23. Like that, good to see something different
