Stihl 2 stroke is IMO about as good as it gets. Chain oil.....well pretty much whichever you like.....I use veg oil from the back of the chip shop. Those grease guns for the bar....well I have NEVER used one, once you start you will always have to, but i was advised 14 years ago on my basic chainsaw course not to, and have not suffered any problems from it.

My first highlighted bit is because i am amazed at that! the second one is...........so what you are saying is that you dont actually own a really smart looking silver ranger at all, but a total dog of a car that looks good in the pics:lol:

I have seen this done. Massive amounts of pinus radiata were cleared from the A30 last year and the contractor was chippingt into two bin lorries. Very high payload, and a massive opening into an enclosed spaced. An excellent idea if you have alot of chip to go any distance IMO.

Bad luck. No need for it.

Sounds like a blockage in the oiler system, most commonly in the tank (hook the rubber pipe out and check the pick up on the end and clean the tank out) or possibly the pump has packed up.

Every time you treat us to more pics of these incredible trees I am amazed. Thanks again.

I am saddened by the fact that there are people who find it acceptable to hijack and derail a thread where condolences to a family who have lost a young girl in such an abrupt way were all that there was room for. It is unproffessional, unsympathetic, degrading and completely in the wrong place. The place for the sort of blame culture debate is in its own thread. I hope that those who have made such incredibly misguided comments about the nature if the event and have used this thread to make personal, almost 'flameing' remarks about others dont suffer negative effects to their business, and feel able to reflect on how they have portrayed themselves, and will perhaps conduct themselves more appropriately and maturely in future postings on the forum.

See it alot in sessiles.

HAd a large oak limb like it that we removed in March. Had obviously been like it a while......TO had missed it from the ground.

Reading this thread has made me realise how crap life must be for townies!!!!! And some of the answers make me understand how programs such as 'street wars' (or whatever) exist!!

You read my 0845 number rant thread Mark? e-on are still sending me statemnets for a house i moved out of 4 months ago despite confirmation that we dont live there any more.....from them!!!! In the words of Dr Gonzo: " Raoul: Hey, hey! Hey, listen. Raoul: Don't take any guff from these swine. Raoul: If you have any trouble, remember: Raoul: you can always send a telegram to the right people. Dr: Yeah, explaining my position. Some asshole wrote a poem about that once.

They wouldnt say exactly what they wanted, just more information regarding some info he had supplied about our gas and electricity supplier. (this is total B.S. as we have bottled gas and pay our neighbour for the electric we use). Other people are getting hung up on when they answer, and some say its is e-on according to the few websites i looked at. I am sure there isnt anything particularly sinister going on, but I did find myself getting all protective and VERY p-ed off.....a fact i made abundantly clear to mancunian Jamie on the other end of the phone line.....
-
you certainly must:sneaky2: My condolences BTW mate. I had one of those as a project.......

This number has been calling me recently. Apparently it is affiliated to e-on the electricity supplier. Normally i would just ignore the calls, or if it were to a landline bar the number. What has really peeved me about this is that the caller has asked for my 10 year old son by name.......whilst having rung my mobile!!! At first they hung up the moment i answered....yesterday i managed to get into a conversation with the vile abusive snotty little turd at the call centre (as he turned out to be) and he couldnt even give me a decent excuse as to how my 10 year old son's name has become associated with my mobile. I ended up calling the police and finally got e-on to look into it. I googled the number and it seems that lots of people have had this...the weird thing is that e-on dont reckon its one of their call centres!!!!! Rant over.

If it isnt so wet a tractor could travel on it then these guys would be worth speaking to. You can see the biobaler in action [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6J1l9oEjkLM]here[/ame].

FFS you lot. Lets not turn this thread into a 'who is to blame' thing. You will achieve nothing but to belittle this awful incident, and it wont help anything anyway. Now wind your necks in please and show at least a modecom of respect.

You see i dont think that the roots are a problem at the moment. Pollarding is not your only option, and I believe not your best. In the long term this tree will probably have to come out. The root damage from the road and pavement, the root damage to the road and pavement and possible root interference with your property and underground services will all eventually contribute to necessitating this. However if you were to raise the crown and thin the crown out you would still have the benefits of a beautiful tree,(and we all know that these are manifold), but would also get the light back into your house. YOu also wouldnt have the repeated regular cost of maintaining a pollard.
-
Do you want to remove the tree?

Sad news indeed. BBC News - Falling branch kills girl, 13, in Cambridgeshire park

I have had gazillions of blackthorn spikes (it must be one of the most abundant species in cornwall) and cant remember ever going septic. I ended up in hospital having one sliced out of my hand and quizzed them about this and apparently the blackthorn itself is not poisonous as is commonly believed, but due to its abundance of thorns and the sharpness, the infection comes from either what is stuck on the thorn- e.g from a previously passing wild animal, or simply the depth that the thorn reaches. I think you have to prich the berries with a blackthorn spike first too.
