is that re: the original post? sorry i've just got out of bed....
-
yes it was 10% i personally don't see the point in small reductions, but, it's work and great experience at putting a little thought into tree work, rather than lumping big bits of wood to the ground. i enjoyed it.
-
haha
-
hmm... not sure. you are my rival in respect to our pretty-sun-through-tree-scene avatars. no.
-
ok cheers, i'll probably just add it to an order when i need a few things, rather than getting it on its own.
-
yes i agree, but for some reason, the thin looking side is thin because it had lost most of the leaves. next year it may look alot more even.....
-
do you stock it jonesie?
-
cheers, yep, first time. i've been climbing in industry for about 4 months. did a similar sized h chestnut for my second, last week. i quite enjoy them now. i was sh*tting it before starting the walnut reduction

essential piece of first aid to have with you up a tree. i just need to convince myself to part with £15 for 1 sachet.

ukminch - not 100% on the details - i'm just the stupid climber but as far as i know, the landlord wanted it maintained in some way and the reduction/deadwood was all we got. and some of it was over hanging the garden at the back. it was getting tangled but nothing too frustrating. and we only used the ladder once even though it was up all day.... john - yes sorry, worded badly. the percentage was stated. i'll let you guess though. see how accurate i was and thank you for replies.

all the information is on the assesment schedules.... http://www.nptc.org.uk/download.asp?file=New%20Schedules/cs39_use_a_chainsaw_from_a_rope_and_harness_as_oct06.pdf http://www.nptc.org.uk/download.asp?file=New%20Schedules/climb_trees_and_perform_aerial_rescue_as__cs38_aug_06.pdf

90 year old walnut. the tree officer said we could only give it a small reduction and deadwood. feel free to slate me, although if no one does i'll be happy first 3 pics close up are before, during and after (although we didn't get a pic of the final stage as the light was going so had to take a pic whilst i still had a bit to do) last 2 pics are slightly further, before and (almost) after

haha! everyone's favourite debate! ms260 vs. 346xp oh, welcome to the forum
-
bit quiet at the moment. if anyone could sort me out even one or two days i would appreciate it. cheers
-
i have the cheap stein one on the back of my TMotion, never had any problems with snagging it. i would never climb without it. has my rope cutting knife in it aswell.

alex_m replied to TimberCutterDartmoor's topic in General chat
yeh! i'm winning the bids with just over a grand! (maximum bid £150,000 lol) i also messaged the seller to ask why 'stihl' is spelt wrong on the casing.... -
i take it no one has taken this...? "CS48 - Use of Powered Pole Pruners" what a joke.
