just to clarify im on about branches that have died or which the tree no longer needs, that would, if left be part of the trees normal development and would fall off it is only because we hav a reason to cut them off that we do i am asking if the best thing for a newly dead branch is to let the tree have time to start its own healing/shedding process rather than cutting it off totaly straight away ie reducing the weight to a safe amount so it dosnt fall off suddenly and cutting it off when it needs to be(once it has become un safe)
-
that makes sence i think:confused1:definately will be species dependent i was looking at oaks as i said but in all species you have to think what the next person up it will find as a result of what has been done.
-
no, no, no, a dead branch im on about cutting i was dead wooding, cutting of dead bits i expect monkeyd will know:001_smile:
-
not being silly but look for some trees find the nearest farmer and ask him sometimes works if you want to go shooting, cant see any difference

today whilst removeing deadwood from some old oaks a thaught occurred to me that pruning cuts as we were taught (nptc) do not allow the tree sufficient time to callus over before rot etc can set in if an old piece of dead wood is on an oak it cuts it off gradualy its self and is almost sealed when the wood eventually fails in contrast when we cut off a newly dead branch it has no head start in this process and the wound is exposed for longer this made me think, if i was to leave a say six foot 'peg' and leave it to rot naturally until such time as it had to be removed or further reduced the tree would naturaly start its own wound healing process and be better for the trees well being, whilst also providing important habitat but in a more monitored way. obviously this would only applies to some branches with the correct size position etc. is this already in practice or am i wrong in my thinking some thaughts please

here's one for you
-
neither of you can be
-
i couldnt see a diferance but i maybe had it set up well? most peolple seem to be talking about bench sharpeners mine was like a dremmel i suppose more human imput like a file like you say it just needs to cut 90% if its going into another nail ridden but :sneaky2:
-
i was looking at a large timberwolf pos 10 or 12in in a hire place it had the same buttons but had two sets one on each side you'd think in that case the same could be done
-
buttons shouldn't make you have to lean over there IMO should be on the side
-
i used to have a 12v orogan sharpener they are good for removing lots of dammage if you have hit stone or metal the one i had had a angled guard and this set the depth aswell its kind of like using a file with a guide fitted it dose heat the teeth and you can cut a lot of v quick if you arn't carefull and you still have to do the rakers when i was useing mine i was in the lakes removeing regen and was constantly hitting stone and getting through a chain a week ish i would say it was far easier than a file but i normally use a file now sometimes wish i had an electric one still:001_smile:

dont know about transits but its straight forward to fit one on a landrover just bolt it on and wire in. if you get a kit for a transit it would be simmilar at a guess only thing with a winch on the front is it cant pull you out backwards and normaly you tend to get stuck driving in forwards IMO very handy thing none the less
-
nice!! what a bunch of idiots
-
gotta have a go in the hummer you can go in a land cruiser any time
-
muntjac and chinese water deer are two different species and chinese water deer are actualy a threatend species in their own country we have something like a third of the global population if i remember correctly
-
the control buttons on the timberwolf make you have to reach over the centre of the hopper could do with one on either side so you dont risk going in it also tracks that dont pop off would be nice (especially aty 4pm on a friday)
-
i suppose it depends on how much imput you are allowed into the desision making prosses and on what part of your work they manage if you make the actual work/method desisions and they do the admin type stuff then it makes sence if they start to tell you how to do the work thats different IMO
-
that sound about right every one knows better than us who are trained LOL
-
thats a realy good website
-
high seats and if its realy public you could have people positioned on foot paths with radio contact as look outs (in a position of safety) nothing is impossible!!! i have worked on very public sites doing control work using firearms and there is normally a way to do so safely, just depends on how much you need it done:001_cool:
-
dosn't matter if they dont want them shot anyway i bet there would be a way to shoot safely
-
haix blue ridge for me they allways last me at least a year and they are very comfy once worn in. not waterproof though but i just wear sealskins waterproof socks they dont wear out as quick as gortex in boots and they cost less too
-
everyone sais shoot them (me too) but is it a garden or is it a whole wood/estate/farm? wouldnt do much good to shoot in a garden if it has someone else's wood up against it.
-
what a cool tree bet its hollow right through i wouldnt want to own it in its situation.

we had one trying the doors on the van 8.30 in the morning in the middle of glasgow. dopey didnt read the same sign righting on the bosses disco and when he asked him what he was up to he calmly stroled over and said "i live round the corner the lads said i could borrow a saw to cut a tree down in my garden" as if !!! they were past in a van and just waiting around for their chance
