I have a weaver and a treemotion. The weaver is a great harness, a MAN'S harness......but i prefer the treemotion, but the support offered by the weaver is amazing. Who cares what other people think anyway. If it works for you, then stick with it.

They are still crap for towing.
-
Yeah- have left a few in my time TBH.....most a hell of a lot bigger!

That is a view of the mouth of the Camel Estuary in north cornwall, Padstow area, but i was on the opposite side. And the rest! Some of the walls on Bodmin moor are reckoned to be over 3000 years old. It is all dry stone, no mud inside or between the joints, and the interior is all carefuly laid in and knitted together, stones propped etc, so nomovement can happen.

Cheers chaps. The customer didnt want a grandiose effort, but something that would retain the character of the original field/ garden hedge, but that was bullock-proof, as the previous effort was pretty mickey-mouse and the farmers livestock kept getting in the garden of the expensive holiday home.......there is about 7 tonnes of stone in it now..... Not a bad view from the field either....

As some of you know, I sometimes get asked to bits of stonework- in fact I made most of my living out of it for about 3 years a few years back- and have just rebuilt a stone stile for someone over the last couple of days with my mate. Its totally dry, with a tiny bit of earth for the hedge weeds etc to grow back over, and the very top stones (the spars) have a small mortar bed. The piece of granite poking out to act as a handhold is the top of a 5' tall post we put in....big and strong:thumbup:

Full chisel all the way here. Fast fast fast...just dont cut dirty wood if you can help it! Cant wait to get one for the 200!
-
You certainly dont.....because you lot who think you are virus free only have to wait until apple get more than their microscopic market share, then all those lovely viruses (which incidentally i have NEVER had on my PC:sneaky2:) will jump down your phonelines and swallow you up on your fancy machines:001_tt2: Fantastic machines if design is important, and you have little or no desire to individualise your machine (email progs etc etc)...or you could just get ibuntu or any other linux based software, and customise it just like apple did....then rebrand it as your own idea:sneaky2:

Only a few times....most notably on a big old sweet chestnut with loads of holes and weirdness- very tolkien-esque tree with a very specific list of what we could do from the T.O.
-
Sorry- how much?????????????????????????????????? are they really that good? And why?
-
I agree with stu...ought to be more like half that, or maybe two thirds at most. I have been knocking out sawn larch and douglas for approximately £10-12/ cube, I know another mill was doing it the same, and another local mill for around £16 plus VAT until recently...
-
Yeah, eurogreen, I think its the same as a pezzolato.
-
I would rather be tied to the tree any day of the week. Dont trust too much machinery at height TBH, unless it on things like road height clearance, where climbing is just too slow.
-
Sound- catch you at the weekend mate.
-
YOu are welcome to bring it over at some point mate and we'll have a look. Still got another 2 bags of wood here for you too- one is just oak, the other mixed.
-
I DID notice a difference between my old genuine vermeer blades and saturns, the saturns deffo dulled faster. Cant tell with my new chipper as both sets are genuine.
-
What- from down by the estate offices etc Stu?????? Thats well off the beaten track!!!
-
Aah yes, but you'll never get it tight enough like that..., and its not the staples that hold it tight, its the knot you tie in it when it has passed right round the post, the staples ought never be hammered right in as this doenst allow the wire to flex at all, and also damages the wire....
-
Actually if you cut one side of a conny hedge back hard, yes it will look rough as rats for a while (quite a long while!) but the remaining side will turn back and grow through again, which can be managed and kept in check after time, so all would not be lost.

Have you ever been there when a tree has failed naturally ?
tommer9 replied to Arbgirl's topic in Tree health care
Working near falmouth in the wind a few years ago, we had taken out a big mac over 2 days, went back to finish the clear up on the third day, and 3 trees came down, one in moderate wind, the root plate gave up, and the other 2 when the wind started really gusting- we had to cut one up to get out of the property! Alot of trees had been taken out from that site previously apparently, evidently causing the now exposed trees more stress than they were used to. The first that came down was a tall radiata, and narrowly missed what must have been a pretty old magnolia! -
Nice one for the mention Stu. I did send you a PM Mr Ozeroo, but it was on my mobile, so you may not have got it. Call me on 07875046748 if you want help with chipping. 10" vermeer and chip truck available......

Beautiful stuff there. Welcome to Arbtalk. We love Pics BTW!

Anyone here understand towing law and max weights?
tommer9 replied to RichardT's topic in General chat
Wait until you get stopped, and go from there. VOSA officials on the side of the road rarely know the law to the letter, and cops even less so, and on first offence you are almost certainly going to get away with a warning and an explanation of what you should or shouldnt have been doing. Obviously dont flount any laws, but if you ARE in doubt, but think you are within the law, then TBH you shouldnt have too much to worry about. -
YOu wanna stop fiddling with yourself then Tony:lol:
