ive herd from arb mates of mine that copper nails helps kill off stumps, i guess its the same with living trees, would be good if it ended up on his roof though. bet he is one of the people who would be saying hes not paying for it to be cleared up its not his tree

well today was fun i quoted this in october couldnt remember it and i obviously didnt look round it well enough when i priced it up i thought we would be able to fell pretty much all of them if not all of them. i thought was only the 1 wire going on the outside of them. so got started had climb the first bigger one, found out that had a steel angle iron bottom moved onto the next lot which all felled, BUT all the first 6ft of the ten or some stems had a nail every inch up it next ground along had nails and metal wire in them, along with another wire going straight through the middle of them, then the rest of them were worse with metal in them all and wires going through either side of them. still got it all done by 2.30 with 1 mega full transit load

well i was feeling reckless that day i guess

Yes it fell and missed every grave under it the stem wasnt straight it was curved where that curve was there was graves under it etc etc missed every stone amazing really

i had the same idea a few years ago i was thinking about making a fully enclosed chip box but with a hole that would fit the flexible tube type stuff you get on the back of tumble dryers, but i never got round to testing it and really i think it would just clog up to much.

testcricket01 replied to testcricket01's topic in Picture Forum
so after chucking a couple of ton of rings onto it it finally collapsed so today i spent half the day with gareth off here and his mate who works in workshop at lotus got him to weld me some squares etc up and now its as solid as a rock just needs painting now -
just got back from a call out, walnut i told the owner last time i was him just after xmas that it had honey fungus, and the union the crack had appeared over time, had opened another inch. i said id give it a month at the most. but fell on deaf ears. but lucky for him went it fell it caught the telegraph pole didnt knock any of the 3 lines on the pole, pushed the fence abit, and didnt go in the very busy road the other side of the fence. if any one wants the timber its in long lengths, if not it shall be firewood
