  1. the idea of buying the tree spade was suggested by him. He certainly has the funds to do it. I think he would rather sell wholesale if that is possible
  2. I have been asked about the realities/ possibilites of selling trees that are in the ground. The person in question has several thousand mixed hardwoods af about 8-10 years old, mostly ash, oak and cherry from what i have seen, and ranging in hight from 10- 20 foot depending on shade conditions. They are spaced approximately 1.2 metres apart, and need thinning. I was asked what are the realities of digging up and selling trees in these conditions. Any help or guidance appreciated.
  3. Oops. Like steve says...fair play for finishing!!
  4. Cant wait until this husky comes out now. Played with one at Royal Cornwall Show.....very nice. And the husky guy assured me it was going to be august........not that we havent had promises about this saw before mind you.....
  5. The challenge should be to get it on the deck not including the clear up, unless the ground crew do one tree then the other, using the same guys and the same kit (chippers etc)....otherwise......bring it on!!!!!
  6. I guess it comes down to how good/ close your nearest ifor versus atlas is.
  7. Jeez Nick. Really hoping things turn out for the best for you.....
  8. Until Atlas trailers appeared, i would have said Ifor williams by a million miles, but those atlas trailers look just as god but with a nicer price tag!
  9. I went years and years ago.......once was more than enough for that (IMO) overcommercialised excuse for a festival....
  10. Very neat work. Is it english oak?
  11. I use pros and alli geckos. Loveley combo. Like Huck says you wont have any problems.
  12. I would like to add that there may be a tiny bit of inability or laziness even which may lead to the attitude to which the above quote is a response....

    Why do you think I dont want to get involved:blushing::lol: TBH its not alot to do, its just that I think that with some professional back up the neighbour may change their mind- in as far as the neighbour wants the hedge to fill out, but thinks that reducing the height will kill it. My old man has said otherwise, but the neighbour thinks he is just an ignorant homeowner.

    Cheers for the replies. It may yet come to nothing. He is trying to get a tall hawthorn hedge reduced, but his neighbour hasnt been persuaded yet. If and when he gets it sorted I will be in touch and pass your numbers to him. Thanks again.

    Are there any members from Chester here? Might need some work doing for my Father. TA.
  16. I especially like the shamrock at the bottom for 99p!!
  17. My stein fell apart. Very unimpressed with the quality of that helmet, although it was very comfy. Petzl all the way. I have just replaced my old petzl with the new version but havent used it in the tree yet, but on first impression it feels very nice. I like the side adjusters too rather than the back one.
  18. Its a load simpler to fit airbags than leaf springs.
  19. Used to go to the Q club (banging techno/ trance in a disused church) or Wobble- dressy house club with sprung dancefloor. That was in the 90's mind you!!
  20. Green timber used out of doors is generally fine. Green oak buildings really are just that- green!
  21. I think Treebeard uses them. He doesnt post that much, but i was working on a site with him a week or two ago and he reckoned they were ok. (if they were the ones lol)
  22. I have been using the husky technicals for a while. i have found them very light and comfy, but they are starting to fall apart now TBH. Probably look at SIPs next time. I wont buy stretch airs out of principal.
