  1. i wish shrek , the thought of using the 880 up in the tree for the best part of the day does not really get my juices flowing !!! but hey better than stum grinding all day !!
  2. hiya im based in penance and am looking for someone , give me a shout on 07790206316 if its of any use to you oh and im dave by the way
  3. well i will be doing half of it without a crane as it all leans in the right direction . will use a crane for the more awkward bits and shiftim the timber to one area as we only have 3-4 days to get it down and gon before the camp site re-opens
  4. i wish lol , i hinted at felling it but the propperty manager didnt seem to keen , pluss im really looking forward to climbing it lol . hows things with you then ??? hear much from mark nankervis ?? i hardly ever see him around any more

  5. the guys out on the falmouth road have hundreads of tons of soft wood but no sign of any hard wood , and they have the cheek to call it top quality firewood !!!! i really think not . this winter i wont be selling logs lol really cant be bothered lol
  6. yeah i hope to get loads of pictures , im hoping the local news will be there as the owner has contacted them as the tree was apparently one of the bigges montereys in the country or europe , but im not sure , this time next week i will have been to the arb show and the pine will be one of the oldest smallest trees lol
  7. do you have 5 or more vehicles that you insure ??? i have my 08 platr transit (contract hire) my nisan navara sport boublecab , leyland daf lift platform , my subaru imprea and nisan cabstar tipper on a fleet policy and found it really reasonable , but even if your looking to insure one vehicle i would phone trust insurance and ask for cammeron he should see you right
  8. thankfully its not a grind other wise i would be looking for a mad fool to come and grind it out . i cant imagine 114 year old pine would be any fun to grind lol
  9. down here in cornwall there is a company selling soft woods such as larch , spruce , douglas fir etc etc for 120 per load for a cab star , i cant believe people will pay that for a load of semmi wet soft wood , or am i just being un realistic !!!!!!!!
  10. thanks shrek , it should be good fun felling the stick , i climed a big beech today that the trainee said was realy big so in our lunch brak i took him to see that pine he then realised what really big is . just really not looking forward to the clean up job ha ha i think ten tons of top soil will be needed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  11. i wish we could do it like that shrek or like mark said but as the 5 day notice went in yeserday and was accepted it looks like we will be starting it on wednesday and bringing the 65 ton crane in on thurs to take the top out and move all the timber . and yes brian that is the 115 penance to helston !!!!!!! anyone know how well an ms880 with 48 inch bar is at felling twice the bar size ???
  12. they want the butt left a about 12 foot lol i will have to take some pictures of it comming down if the tree officer gives the go ahead tomorrow , think it will be a crane job lol
  13. yeah i think about 60-65 tons rughly but thats only a guess
  14. 3 turret bouncy castles and hedge hog counts with bill oddie oh and a picture of shreks wee brother on my bedroom wall
  15. yeah it will be a big shame to fell i but it has been diseased with sparassis crispa for the last 12-15 years. my ms880 with 48 inch bar looks like a toy when put beside the base of the tree
  16. since the limb failed (one of the smaller limbs on the left hand side ) the owners have decided it poses way to much risk to the youth hostle and camping area so they are now wanting me to fell it . the question a asked my self is HOW lol but should be great fun
  17. i had to climb up it yesterday to take off a limb that failed , i got my rope anchored half way up the tree as the limb i had to work on was low down and small in comparison to the rest of the tree but never the less my 45 meter rope was only just big enough with about 2-3 meters spare , i meet the tree officer tomorrow morning to see if we have to fell it !
  18. here is a tree i have recently been asked to carry out some work on by one of our contract clients , please feel free to add pictures of other big trees lol
  19. here is a pine tree i have recently been asked to carry out some work on , mainly dead wooding and re- bracing my 45 meterrope is not even nearly long enough lol
  20. to be honest the wage is ok for most cornish tree surgeons as most of them aint got a clue what they are doing and dont deserv paying any more !! when i moved back down from guildford i started working for a well known local company and was amazed at how out of date and out of touch they were , hense i went off on my own .
  21. hello tris hows you ??? glad to hear its still going well , hows the new boy going

  22. strech airs all the way , i have type a and type c's and really highly rate them , i got fed up of stihl and huskys crap trousers and went over to strech airs , as long as they keep making there trousers like they do i will keep buying them , they may be more costly but much better to work in and last much much longer jonesie has been doing some good deals on them as well
  23. someone needs to beat the pikey that did that, as the saying goes - you cant polish a turd ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
