Haha sorry mate if I'd realised it was that bad I would have given it a clean before I sent it, did give it a wipe over but as I did tell him it had been lurking round the workshop for a year after it died so had'nt really looked at it

No I spent the time finding the 3 bars and 8 chains you got with it

I did wonder that myself as seem a bit short for swingletrees going on what I've seen before, paid £8 for them so should be a small profit if I don't find a use for them

Picked these up at a sale today, are they any good for horse logging and what are they worth? cheers

Is 6 ash and 8 oak?

Its still available as Grazon Pro its only licenced for spot spraying with knapsack now at 60ml in 10 litres, as far as I remember Pastor is a safe selective to use on new swards and is also safer for the operator

Only found out a couple of years before he died that one of my Grandads was on D-day, he never spoke about the war it was only after his 2nd and 3rd strokes that his short term memory went and he started telling us fragments about it, apparently he was below decks on a ship when it was shelled and later went onto Japan, my other Grandad was in North Africa along with one of my great uncles and also had another great uncle who was a Captain can't remember which regiment, but we have a letter among his belongings where he was to be promoted to Major I think it was but he refused the promotion as he was happy where he was, got a fair amount of photos and information on them all just need some time to dig a bit deeper.

Just lit it 5 minutes ago but thats because I fell asleep when I got in and just woke up

I'm 38 got 2 dodgy knees a dodgy hip and a knackered hand but for some reason have recently got the urge to try climbing, so far I've got as far as having a go on a pine we were taking down on spikes and flip line, went up about 10 or 12ft and ended up walking like John Wayne for few days after but still fancy trying again

Hi Joe, your inbox is full and could'nt work out how to attach the pics in a pm so have put them here, cheers Ed

Hi Joe pm'd you

He's probably going on the scrap price for the "copper" tree

Evening all, finally took the exhaust off my 357 the other day to see what was up with it, its been sat in workshop waiting since last summer, saw the piston was badly scored so as my mum was taking her mower to the local garden machinery man today I asked her to take it round for him to look at, apparently he reckons it will cost £50 more than the saws worth to fix it! so options are I get the bits and do it myself, but chances are I won't get time, or sell it as spares and buy another saw, trouble is I can't afford new so what would be a good secondhand choice?

Hi Treeseer if we're back on that job I will try and get some pics of canopy, Andy there is also a Guardian article referring to it from 2012 and also articles from Defra and the FC but neither have pictures and most of the information seems to be lifted straight from the American work on the disease with no pictures for reference.

We though to start with the fitst two pics were phyical injuries but those are two seperate trees and both are also shiwing die back in the canopy, there are 4 in total showing the same symptoms and a fifth which is already completely dead Sent from my GT-I9305 using Arbtalk mobile app

Spotted this on some scots pines on a job today snd best guess I've found on google is pitch canker, the trees are showing signs of die back in the canopy too, just wondered what everybody else thinks? Sent from my GT-I9305 using Arbtalk mobile app

Yep got peppers and tomatoes on the go on the kitchen windowsill and potatoes on the go in bags, still got to finish weeding the veg patch to get everything else in, am a bit behind this year.

Hi Paul, Midland Tree Management, mostly been on site clearance work since I've been there but does do domestic too.

Fencing and landscaping jobs have been like that for years everybody wants it done for nowt and theres always someone who's happy to do half a job to do it cheap and get the work

I would personally say if you don't have the work for it I would'nt buy it as its dead money sat in your shed, unless your getting it at a good price where you could make a turn on it, it could be that you buy it and then next week when you've spent the money you have a job come up that you need something for and don't have the money to buy it, its all swings and roundabouts

Its the laws/regulations that come out that have crippled this country as much as the direct financial cost of membership, consecutive UK governments have bent over and swallowed nigh on every piece of legislation churned out by Brussels while the rest of europe ignores them putting us at a massive disadvantage with regard to business and trading competetively outside of the U K before we start.

Once "borrowed" my dads Mamod steam engine, which I had been told in no uncertain terms I wasnt to touch and took it to my mates house where we lit it up in the garage with the door open, this was one of the old ones with a meths burner in the firebox, we decided to see just how fast we could get it to go, finding a syringe we kept injecting meths into the firebox until the flywheel was really humming at which point the grub screw let go of the shaft and the flywheel went off like a bullet down my mates steep drive and into the verge the other side of the road, which led to a very tense hour looking for it, got it all back together and returned home with my dad none the wiser but a few weeks later I was allowed to fire it up and while showing my grandpa what an impressive turn of speed it could achieve on the kitchen table with the syringe method I did'nt realise the end of the syringe was alight when I put it back in the small metal jug with the meths in it, end result was I went to move the jug which was now very hot so I jumped and dropped it sending burning meths all over the kitchen table and floor, got a right bawling out for that one and banned from using the mammod again

Cheers all and James, thats what I was thinking along the lines of but couldnt decide if it was best to put the boards on vertical or horizontal.
