Tree Man Tom

Many a time. I think Jesse on here probably holds the record!

It was inside a decay cavity at the base of the tree. Trees coming down anyway just trying to find out what it is out of interest more than anything

Anybody able to help ID this? Found at the base of a poplar. Thanks

Got 3000 odd hardwood stumps to dispose of, there being dug up with a slew as we speak but not sure what to do with them now. From trees with an average diameter of about 15inches. Shredder, air burner, mulcher? Would someone burn them in biomass boilers? Cheers

As above, cheers.

We got some going for chip shortly. Can't remember what rates are but seems the only way to shift it.

Crane??

We once had to crane some stems with bats in and attach them to some other trees on site which were staying so as not to disturb bats to much. Seemed daft but got paid for it so 👍

Yep , slipped on slipped off, we did a few like that, but thats not optimistic, ......... this was. Great old truck , HD springs on it, very light steering

I remember that, Cleeve hotel. We did have some fun over the years 👍

Found the video, forgot I put it on you tube!

Unloading Hilux The Correct Way!:

I did one the same way a few years ago, Cherry into the back of a Hi lux, if you look behind the pickup you will see the butt standing showing the felling height at the point that i reversed the truck up to , felled it straight into the back of the truck, it just fitted, not as big as the one on the video, reason we did it , it was getting late in the day. Did have a video of it been unloaded, that was a bit special as well, so of bungie like

And reason we didn't get a video of it landing in the truck was because we were laughing to much! Was a funny day that, until we ran over the cat 😁

How did you get the new one before returning the old one??

Good relationship with my dealer

Broke a couple of the older ones but tbh wasn't really worried buy it. Climbed on them whilst broken till new one arrived. Guess I'm using a mk3 now as it's not broken and has been faultless. It's changed the way i climb and work, tis brilliant 👍

Just replace with new ones and sell the worn ones on ebay 👍

My mate holds the under18 500m record. That's about all I know about rowing lol

Either don't tie in or clip into your belt loop on your trousers

You can't compare them to the petrol top handles we've got use to using IMO. They are however really useful for the right application. We've been working in a hospital where it's obviously abit noise sensitive and it's been invaluable.

Looking forward to a Taunton delivery tomorrow,

What you bought now? Seen the trailer on ebay

Just buy new and sell old ones on ebay

Bring back the Husqvarna 338XPT fantastic little saw, once run in will wipe the floor with those Stihls, very under rated saw.

Funny you say that. My mates just got his out on site today as his new husky and stihl both broke. Pulled it out the container after its been sat for over a year and it's working faultlessly.

My old 200t used to do that. It was the needle roller bearing

My mate made a homemade defuser to put on the end of a tracked timberwolf spout. Chip would just then fall into a dumpy bag which was supported by a quick release frame that attached to the chipper. Should of taken pics of it really

Be brave, go with what you think will work, you only have one crack at life, fortune favors the brave, i have never looked back on anything i have put thought into all things, and it looks like you have really considered everything. I can still remember my first nudge, i would of been happy to spend the rest of my life as a groundy , unskilled, for the rest of my life, working for Jason ,top man,he had to leave the country, and as i have family in the uk that meant i had to stay. i worked things out, like you are doing and never looked back, good luck. Should of said, i did then enroll at collage to gain confidence and ended up at university after six years, never looked back.

I used to work with jesse, then when his business structure changed I got the nudge off him go it alone. Best thing I did! I've got in with a local company who I climb for on any spare days. So with what I do for myself and with them I always have plenty of work. Go for it, its great being your own boss! Oh and jesse is still a good friend

Coincidence, superstition all a load of rubbish.

Monday because the pubs shut.

Chain brake? What's that?? :what::what:
