Thanks for the replies and the advice lads,I consider myself "Told off" and I am going to self flagellate with my grout trowl. 5 Hail Marys and 5 chapters of Shigo.

very nice Phenom,you can see that those trees are cared for by arborists. -
I ended up filling it with grout,and then another coat of pruneing paint over that to seal it.I did seriously consider foam but my Dad talked me out of it. He says concrete is proven.Concrete adds density to the structure of the tree.He says,How do you know that foam is not toxic to the tree and make it sick or that it will not absorb moisture and cause decay,and that it adds less strength to the trees structure.Does anyone know any answers to these questions or can recommend a proven brand of foam(or filler).

I would be interested to hear about your techniques for roping over into the next tree.Ive been practicing the "slingshot'' method with a throwball and I was wondering about any other ways to do it.

This should be easy. Is that a Siberian Elm.

That was a real crack up that game,they only played 7 overs.

Also,there are many threads in the rigging and roping forum that you might like to read, or ask some questions on topics,lol.

just my 2 cents wurth,.. out of all the saws that u could buy,why would u get a Solo? But if u have made up your mind then I hope that u get a good run out of it.Replacing the ring(s) can be a cheap way to get the compression right up again.bon chance.

I was having a blonde day with the first 2 posts,Im hoping to make amends.

We also take many loads of green waste to a dump that has a large top feed mulcher and pay tip fees.We do a lot of ringing up which is almost always left on site.The "Very basic setup."
-
Sorry guys,Ive boobed and started this in the wrong forum.Can I moved this thread now to General Chat?
-
We dont own a mulcher,we only hire one for a term if we can pile mulch on site,so far.
