My Navara and my son's rotted away. It appears the new Nav has the same chassis with a bit welded on as an afterthought.
-
Yes it was that type that killed the guy in the tractor. Many a telegraph pole got partly severed with those.
-
Most of my hedge laying I do with axe and billhook. Try and avoid the saw as much as I can except for big and/or old pleachers. My lawn I scythe and will use it in preference to brushcutters if I can. Not yet abandoned chainsaws for felling though :-)
-
I remember a local chap to me killed when part of the hedgecutter sheared off. It went through the cab into his back.
-
I was one of the unreported. Stupidity.....get out of the way...let's get this winch cable up.....rush, rush. One lucky escape as branches kept slowing me down but a broken vertebrae and knocked about. April 1987 and then the Ministry stopped by for a diesel check!
-
I think I'd be looking for honey fungus or meripilus. Was there any thinning of the crown beforehand?
-
Rightly or wrongly I use all the names for all different nationalities whether it's Taffies, Wops etc. I'm no racist at all and mean nothing by it but I suppose many people would take it the wrong way.
-
I don't think anything racist was meant by her use of the phrase. It was a common figure of speech not long ago. Things like that are sometimes spoken without literal intent.

I'd do it but it may work out too dear with a weeks B&B. Take a look at National Hedge Laying Society website for contractors in that area. Hedge laying in Staffordshire, Stafford, Shropshire, Hedgelaying
-
Mine came back. Hissing just like it was.
-
I cut next to someone in the national last year and he was using a Stihl rechargable. On a ten metre length he used two batteries. I would have used about 1 1/2 tanks MS200 on similar length.
-
I've just tried that. The noise has virtually gone....but will it last
-
Nothofagus obliqua maybe?
-
They'll be fine. Just won't grow any more.
-
I've been on saws for forty years. Also from school spent a few years in a tractor cab running all day at pto speed (non Q cab). I have had a constant high humming for a long time. By flexing neck muscles I can also induce a completely different sound too....weird!
-
It's not blight. It looks like magnesium deficiency which is a common problem with taters. Epsom salts will sort that out.
-
Both in Staffordshire.
-
Couple of interesting trees. The ash I've posted before which is the result of sheep. The pine is a combination of stock and river.[ATTACH]222122[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]222123[/ATTACH]
-
Most tree 'surgeons' are just cutters who haven't a clue about trees; they just cut them and are 'fully qualified' by NPTC. Use someone with a good understanding of tree biology etc.
-
Looks like robur with some early Lammas growth.
-
I'll go anywhere and Kent's nice.
-
Thank you. After forty years of climbing I got fed up and decided to concentrate on my hedge laying for six months of the year.
-
A few more.[ATTACH]221654[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]221655[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]221656[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]221657[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]221658[/ATTACH]
