some trees behind my house.

that would be good penfold, if you could get as many wood related guys there the better. if you get a nice day you cant go wrong, if it rains make sure you have some gazebos. you can get them from homebase for abour 30 quid. a big pot of home made soup to keep moral up.

they have there place, i dont think they are for the novice tree climber though. it is too easy not to get into position and do some swiping. i found they gave me tennis elbow and a sore back. but that is a different can of worms mate. good luck with the assignment.

what would you personally recomend tony. there are loads of infected trees that are in farm ground and unmanaged woods. they will never get touched. i could have them down and burnt in a few weekends of my time, do you think this would help?

its all about karma mate:001_smile:

you have certainly got the crane bug mate, good on you. makes life so much easier. but needs to be on the right bit of kit to get full use out of it. i would still enquire about cost though mate, they will either want fortunes or pennies:001_smile:

i used to have a small skidsteer, i only ever used it on a few jobs. it was terible for turning up slabs, it was over a ton though, what is yours like. i find all these toys great if it doesnt matter about damage. i had a tiny tracked chipper out last week and it still managed to break some paving in a straight line:thumbdown: -
left mate:001_smile:
-
i bet you were glad of that, looked horrible. pop is nice to work with and i love the smell, but takes years to dry for burning.

has that been a firebrigade machine at one time dean? it looks like there is some kind of nozzle tucked into the boom at the first knuckle. johny i am ignoring you:sneaky2:
-
i use one of them everyday mate:ohmy:

on the 8th day god was sick, so mrs god had a go and invented a girls saw.
-
just front protection joe, dont come close to hiflex. if i am not climbing i opt for the lighter trouser mate. they are more of a gimic to be honest. i got them for 80quid at the apf.
-
hypnotherapy mate, they will make you think a fag tastes like dog doo, every time you think of them. good luck

took me 30 mins to log on tonight.:thumbdown:i was going to text huck but that would of cost me 6pence:sneaky2:
-
they are single protection, so feel like jammies compared to allrounders joe.mark the wood is still on site as far as i know. all the stuff i dismantled got mulched. i got paid just to deck it, mulch the stump and debris:001_smile:

please put your arbmeal on the appropriate thread tom, this one is for snacks:001_tongue:

stretch airs and 200quid boots dont make you a tree cutter. the 110 foot redwood down safely 20 feet away from buildings eitherside of it does.
-
i am scunnered. i was scunnert. you are thinking of the past tense rod. got any crisps or dips for next sat night mate:001_smile:
-
pics please mike:001_smile:

the root plate wouldnt go any further down, after the innitial weight getting taken off from the fence line, the way she went over she had shoved her way back in the root hole. so she wouldnt go any further. all the weight was then on the roller and the stacked oak. you will see in the last pic the stem is sitting a wee bit higher, it is only that way because i put it there with the crane. every tree is different. you can asses it as much as you want, but your innitial cuts will tell you what it is doing, its the same when climbing. your first few cuts tell you what the wood is doing, or how its behaving as i like to call it:001_smile:
