  1. found this on a friends face book page and thought of you straight away! what a beast!
  2. thanks for that, bit of bedtime reading, Bs 3998 is getting boring!
  3. robinia is a wood that surprised me, the romanians planted it and used it for schnapps barrel making and said it was finer than oak for barrels:thumbup1:
  4. PH not an issue with beech and chalk:thumbup1: even if it was its a very small trace amount that would rinse away to soil
  5. John said you remind him of himself when he was younger, says your moving much more fluid in the tree:thumbup1: No surprise to me, I knew you had the skills, just needed the hours in:thumbup1: youll go far kiddo:biggrin:
  6. Boss just bought one so had a little play, tommorow it will be going up with me, and i love it, sweet sweet saw, bravo stihl, you needed this after the new 201 which IMO is a poor performance
  7. £4k just like that, just rolls off the tongue dont it:lol:
  8. I dont give up easy, finance is hard to get:thumbdown:
  9. My estate could handle hedge trimmings, couple of pole hedge clippers and a short one would be a start.
  10. I was told you had a massive Oak! I dunno
  11. cars not worth 250! scrap value just!
  12. Ive tried was tslking to greenplant today, possible lease hire it for the chipper:thumbup1: trucks a toughey with being right on the boundary for the LEZ:thumbdown:
  13. Thats a good plan! I always fancied a lime wash
  14. I wish i had enough to save! by the time ive done my pti in april and got enough scraped for the pro dip in september ish thats every ounce of spare gone. guess it will just have to wait till i get a lotto win!
  15. I have reduced full sized mature Fastigiate hornbeams with the old Sandvik bow saws, they are a great tool in the right hands
  16. Always useful to know a few lads around that way willing to do some labouring:thumbup1: best of luck, and if we need a hand when were out that way (fairly often) I will give you a buzz:thumbup1:
  17. there is some justification but it tends to be sunscald, which is predominant on beech having a sunny aspect (south facing) and being over pruned. I was told recently by one Member that to chalenge accepted wisdom one has to be a moron, so up to you who you chalenge and how, dont take my comments seriously, I am a moron!
  18. I wish this business was a simple affair! you know, stand by tree press the tab location locked and logged then type in comments, go back to office print off map in A3 and dowload report info. its all beyond my simple mind! too many options and methods!
  19. its a dogma thats been doing the rounds for eons, and utter bull:thumbdown:
  20. forget about it, I cant get credit period, sucks wage slave till the day I die
  21. with this chipper your limiting yourself to small garden type contractor hire, as any serious tree firm will be looking at a small tow type chipper as a minimum.
