  1. First picture Aspen, second Poplar, third Monkey Puzzle (maybe)
  2. Get yourself a lube shuttle grease gun. The cartridges just screw in, so no messing around
  3. yer beat me to the branching out pun, i shall have to go back to leafing through the other posts.
  4. I sell a green load of round wood in a 12' x 6' trailer for £100. Generally its low quality wood that is a pain to process.
  5. As the mentioned above, i need some oak with large pieces of metal preferably steel or iron. Don'y ask why, as it has been explained to me and i did not understand. If by any remote chance someone has can you PM me
  6. How excited............. Nice to do something a bit different.
  7. I like the cider o'clock sign
  8. Hawthorn, but i doubt you will get it big enough. I use a hawthorn mallet for laying paving slabs
  9. One an hour at a guess using a knocker and with three people.
  10. Have you tried a new radiator cap ?
  11. I will be banned if i post a picture of ring swelling.
  12. The water pump takes about half an hour to change, and costs about £35. However if the bolts have rusted in, add another couple of hours.
  13. Sorry the link has not worked properly, its the top one: arborist takes a lenghty fall Plif plaf ploof
  14. http://m.youtube.com/results?q=arborist%20takes%20a%20lenghty%20fall&sm= Plif plaf ploof
  15. Just a mear mortal. Plif plaf ploof
  16. If farmers stopped flailing their hedges every year, there would be plenty of wood. Plif plaf ploof
  17. I have a ibc in the trailer, which will last for four days including washing out. It also means that i am not transporting water every day. When i fill up the tank ( solo 425,15l) i also fill a tanks worth into an empty 20l container and take that with me so that i am doing two tanks for one walk. I enjoy spraying as i can only spray in dry weather, and it is quiet with no noisy chainsaws. Plif plaf ploof
  18. Nope the last couple of sites the trees were every two steps. Plif plaf ploof
  19. No i spray on foot. Generally i work long days, and can spot spray 1 1/2 to 2 hectares a day. But that depends on terrain Plif plaf ploof
  20. I charge £100 per hectare plus chemical(s) Plif plaf ploof
  21. I will get in before anyone else........ Why
  22. Even on a dry level site you are going to have to go some with trees that size, and then on top pay £30 per cube.
  23. Large adjustable spanner instead of winch handle, as winch handle was left at home. Worked suprisingly well.
  24. Its the shear plane, that allows the tree to flex in the wind. Sycamores particulary are prone to this, as others have said it is the tension being released. Always good to stop you from becomming complacient when it goes pop.
  25. Why wont they except Lantra, Lantra & NPTC training is the industry standard for proving competence ?
