Best way to get hold of them is just to start the work and wait for one of his minions to turn up! Failing that. The 118 247 guys know their stuff!

They are some steep ass hills you guys work on up there!

i believe that is the recognised method. I will be the one laughing at people making that gesture, but i will be doing a blakes hiop thrust gesture, as its longer my thrusts will be larger

We've just had to replace the clutch on ours. 55 plate done about 85000. Clutch was spinning away and you coukd hear it making a song and dance about it. Turns out they don't like a huge amount of towing! £1600 for a new heavy duty solid clutch fitted. Where a normal road use was £1300

We should all have name badges for the newbies! Not that I'll med one my face is unique! I'll be there for one of the days. Maybe two if I'm allowed by the mrs!
-
But do they actually belong to someone else?
-
Neigh! As others have said. Get some training a knowhow on what your dealing with. You can't go gung ho on any piece of wood you think would be ok. Even if it seems like nobody owns it. As someone will!

Saw this in the farmers trader today. I want one!
-
Well I'll go by what you say Hama. I used my new Collins fungi book and I thought it was a gano. But I'm still not very clued up about which fungi do what. As in when they come out to play!
-
I've managed to go down an 8 level multi storey without using a gear. Was entertaining. You'd almost stopped by the time you were at the next ramp so you never really went that fast
-
I rarely get jobs that take all day. Mainly a bit of conny bashing or hedge cutting. Longest I've done is 9 hours. Shortest was probably 2 and a half.
-
The gano is on a different tree to the one with the failure. It seems like there was a rot pocket formed on the failed limb along with some included bark. There were some strong winds blowing today. Very gusty.
-
Well if you can call cooing pigeons in nearby leylandii an applauding croud. Then yes i did!
-
Spotted these whilst out and about today, the failure was in the middle of the local park, girlfriend actually spotted it, i think im rubbing off a bit on her haha! Lime failure, pretty hollow inside, could get my head in at the bottom and was hollow as far as i could see even with a light. Dropped pretty much half of its crown, seemed otherwise healthy. Some FBs on an oak aswell, couple of the buttresses seem to be a bit worse for wear. From what my fungi book tells me, are these Ganoderma resinacium?
-
It did! I don't think to take any but I think I've got one somewhere! I will start to take more just for you frank!

I only ever use small gobs if I'm climbing and using a silky say on a small branch. When I'm felling I use a pretty 'standard' size. On ones where I need that extra weight on the front I'll cut a bit deeper. But usually I'm never more than 25-30%. If it's small trees say up to 6" diameter or a 10' high pole I will put a larger than average gob because it's easier. I had to knock over a dead ash stem. About 6' high and 15" diameter. Half rotten from daldinia. Big gob. I left a hinge about 1cm thick and it wouldn't fall over even with a big gob in it. Just gave it a nudge and it fell nicely then.
