Hi Guys we are looking for a groundie - 5 days a week, self employed or on the cards. Ideally to have: - CS30&31 - Chipper and Grinder tickets - CS38 - a few years experience if you are interested please email [email protected] We are based near Tonbridge in Kent. We do a mixture of domestic and commercial work. Look forward to hearing from you...

Sorry guys, back again with some more fungi im trying to id, someone found these growing in some chip we dropped off, and wanted to know what they were, and wether they would be posinous if her dogs ate them? cheers

i was having the same quandry a few months back, but opted for the magic in the end, i personally found it more comfortable. plus the magic has a lot more useful loops and attachment points and as peter says the quick release waistband, also i don't tend to do massive amounts of footlocking was no bothered about the srt attachment. i know where u are coming from when u say about the tree motion, again only my personal opinion, but the magic could do with the quick release leg loops!

Yeah alive an kicking unfortunately for me ;-) The easiest/only way to chog that dirty great lump off was to anchor off the crane an strop onto it but yes strop was removed in time!

yer it was a merlo....roto i believe, it was a really good job, quite enjoyed that one, as to costings, unfortunatly i don't know unfortunatly.

Just a few pics, from an oak removal we carried out, our client wanted a reduction and due to tpo the local officer was bought in and condemend the tree, due to a large fault on the back side of the tree. The access was quite tight so a normal crane wouldn't fit without removal of hedges etc, so we used a 21m telehandler with winch. 1) At the beggining ish...i always forget the before picture! 2) Shows how close to the garage the tree was and a bit of scale. 3)Chipping up. 4)Getting the canopy off. 5) Canopy pretty much off crane in! 6) The boss going up. 7+8)Craning off. 9) Some of the team. 10) It really was that quite tight. 11) Last few chogs. 12) The final lump! 13) Playing with a euc.....yes i know the thread was oak removal. Enjoy

whats more annoying is the medical is a complete waste of time. it seemed to me its more of a money making scheme then anything else! maybe im just cynical!

Ta, i think i may have got a little confused when i wrote the first post, we took a pop and a syc i think down on the same job a while back, and after adding them to the pile of timber in the yard.....well! anyway thanks for the info, im sure a proper carver would laugh at my efforts, was only really having a play! Still it does make you appreciate how versatile a saw can really be, instead of just the normal felling or cross cutting cuts.

Thank you for those words of wisdom, Had a play at the weekend, not exactly perfect but we all have to starrt somewhere. bit of work left to do!

Just after some free info...the cheek of it! Never done any saw carving, but we bought a lump of poplar back to the yard the other day that is crying out to be turned into a chair, just after a bit of advice really as would like to have a go, when i get a spare afternoon. Watched some guys at the arb fair who clearly know what they are doing judging by the end products, and they seemed to have their chains very slack, and somebody has told me, that they also use blunt chains, both of these things obviously go against normal practice so wanted to know if i was barking up the wrong tree.....so to speak. Any other gems of information would be greatfully appreciated, although i suspect its another one of those learn from your own mistakes and get a feel for for it. ta

if you are cutting hazel, you may be able to market material as stakes and binders for hedgelaying.......or is that just a kentish thing?!

Yer that figures, thank you. Quick question though....... ( its almost a can you just situation!) Do you have any good reference websites for fungi, as lets say an id has been made, is there a good site that will give an indication of how serious the species is regarding the health of the host. In this particular case i don't think its a massive issue, but for future reference. Ta

Any ideas guys, host was ash, fungus was on an old wound...... as im sure you can work out! Cheers people.

Ok mate no worries, just shout. Was almost looking forward to a day out in Canterbury, might have to leave the landies at home that day tho by the looks of a certain other post... ;-0

Hello mate, yes we can do for you, depending on how soon you need it done, when you say roadside can you expand...?
