    Saw these on a large Beech monolith. I remember seeing the Beech at least a couple of years ago, and was back in that part of Cornwall a few weeks back, and noticed these FB;s from about 100yds away from the road! Cant get any closer as i dont know who owns them, and they are about 20' up a pretty ripe bit of wood. Think the tree was pretty far gone when the crown started falling apart in the storms, so would assume that the fungus was well set in back then. I am far from an expert, but heres some pics. Camera phone too. Sorry about quality.

    I am about to go and do my cheapest ever job. It is a hawthorn about 20' tall, about 3 minutes down the road, and I told the guy £30. One cut, straight in the chipper, home in 15 minutes. Happy days. And he has a huge shop selling tools of every variety!!

    I think this has come up before on here, and most ended going main dealer to get it sorted i ma sorry to say. It seems that bearings on tw's are a bit of a prob. You chipperless until it is fixed?

    35's are stil used on the beet farms in Ireland as they have very low ground pressure and can pull loads of weight for their size. The thorn in Fordsons side they were known as.

    Stihl for me over oregon every time. Longer life, and on the whole comfort chain thing.......no thanks. Pain in the whatsits IMO.
  19. tommer9
    Blinding.....Yeehah indeed.
  20. tommer9
    Oregon recommend that after 50% life of the chain.

    BTW i always do cutters first. I hate doing the rakers.
  22. tommer9
    Following on from the thread about sharpening new chains, i wondered who sharpens the cutters before checking/filing the rakers, and vice versa?

    Bloke i used to work for years ago was approached by a local rotarian who had seen his dodge 50 cherry picker, which had a nice amount of slop when at full reach of 30 ish foot, to sort out something with the gutters on the clock tower in Launceston......It wasnt quite high enough, so he (wait for it) tied two double extending ladders together, and put them in the bucket of the cherry picker.......:scared1:

    That is true, but as Mike pointed out, they were designed to run things like the dairy compressor. I reckon you could almost buy a mog for the amount you would spend beefing up the back end of the land rover:scared1:
