Just curious. On dead sapwood of willow. Oops forgot pic.

Four cylinder in TW does it unless you keep the rad really clean.

Laurel – Love the smell, but is it really bad for you?

A little bit of cyanide never hurt anyone:001_smile: -
Count me in on that too.

Err...what make is it? Probably Chinese. Better off with secondhand Stihl or Husky. At least you'll be able to get spares.

Timber fallers I worked with once sharpened saws like you wouldn't believe. For pop felling it was 100 +cc saw and the depth gauges taken right down. Full throttle and hold on:001_smile:

Hope you haven't got stew or mince:laugh1:

Started this job in '78 and went self-employed in '87. I have always striven to do the best possible job and juggled college in as well. In '87 there were so few in Yellow pages that I used to get work upto 90 miles away regularly. Flat out wasn't the word! Now it seems there's a 1001 'tree surgeons' all 'fully qualified'. I'm not knocking the decent guys but there's a lot of dead wood out there. Anyway....rant over, wine's kicking in and I'm too old and bodily knackered to bother now:001_smile: PS...still ain't made a fortune.

Well we finished early and as it's a little while before tea just thought I'd share it:001_smile:
-
We reported it to client officer but they won't do a thing about it. Just sending another contractor to clean it up.
-
I'd put it straight back with the shovel but we've already upset loads of residents and as the job's for LA then we got to keep schtum. Dirty $**!**s

Been doing a job for habitat creation ie. laying a mix of field maple, thorn and hazel on the verge bordering a housing estate. After half a mile we reach the last twenty yards and find this: a huge festering pile of dog poo which the householder obviously finds easier to throw over the fence than dispose of properly. What you can't see is the well-rotted area around the pile. Don't think this job's going any further:001_smile:
-
That's what I'd do. Sharp saw, keep cutting and be aware.
-
We also found a few others and my first find/recorded incedent of Ustulina duesta on Acer psuedoplatanus, I was aware it infected Acer platanoides, but have never personaly seen it on Sycamore before. Couple of pics from last year.

Looks good: clear, concise...does the job.

Not the clearest pics but bracket looks like Ganoderma applanatum and not sure about 'rooms.
-
Drive links and tie straps are no problem but I've never bought loose cutters. Didn't think they sold them seperately.
