    yes but the trees are working on it..

    i have a 2003 ms290 and its still going strong, its a bit underpowered but keep it razorsharp and its good for most stuff, you wouldnt want a bar longer than 16inch on it and it doesnt cut fast on big stuff but for sitting next to chipper for nipping branches up its perfect.

    im puzzled now too, how does the sand seal it if its on tiles? where does the fire go? its making my head hurt.. im off to lie down (under the landrover)..

    another fun childish one is to repeat them word for word until they are bored..

    do you mean the cooling fins? shouldn't make much difference if any, obviously air cooling these fins is the only cooling the engine has. if the rest of the fins are clean then you still have a good surface area for cooling. how did the accident happen? i nearly drove over one of my saws yesterday..

    any chance of it spreading to nearby very nice huge beech trees? im there again monday and get some pics of layout etc..
  7. armchairarborist
    that sounds familiar now Tony, the tree is fairly covered in it, right out to the tips of the branches.
  8. armchairarborist
    wow, nice
  9. armchairarborist
    i was told what it is, forgot what they said immediately:blushing: apart from the bit when i asked if the tree will be affected and was told it could be fatal. think my short-term memory is shot..
  10. armchairarborist
    haha no its not its a compliment.

    worked late tonight, yes i got jca in to trial treat these trees, customer was willing to pay so why not? i know its only a trial for now but if it works then thats brilliant, and if it doesn't then its a lesson learned from experience. in my mind its the right thing to do as regards testing in the real world. yes the solution used is now stable for up to a week unlike the regular allicin which is useless after 24hrs, it is stored frozen and defrosted before application. nice to do something different for once and will be monitoring these horsechestnuts regularly. i believe testing on stock trees is being undertaken as we speak..

    species crossover ash/syc, and an interesting lime -the lime is way over to the left with about 15ft diameter bushy growth so getting near is impossible without cutting, these branches were coming off it and growing new trees where they touch the ground.

    haha brilliant and would work too.. its a treatment for bleeding canker in horsechestnuts, still being trialled but good results so far, would expect the wet areas to dry out and hopefully begin healing over. going to keep a close eye on these now. pics showing coupling removal and plugging.
  14. armchairarborist
    picture says it all..
  15. armchairarborist
    found this below a large copper beech, then turned round and kicked the damn thing:blushing: cant find my fungi book so over to you guys..
  16. armchairarborist
    oh mozza, blow ya tyre up:001_tt2: don't tell me you hadn't noticed?
  17. armchairarborist
    why would anyone watch an advert channel? i wouldn't, local rugby club tried to sign me for something similar and made it sound ace, maybe with a felling vid or something but i think it would just upset all the bunnyhuggers.
  18. armchairarborist
    25-1 twostroke mix? id have to carry a seperate can with me.
  19. armchairarborist
    are you saying we should 'stage' shots for this comp?
  20. armchairarborist
    a couple of cable ties i recon three or four saws tied together is possible, oh mozza blow ya tyre up..
  21. armchairarborist
    so 2ton of mixed hardwood, in lengths? rings? fresh or seasoned? what area is it? what do you want it for? and why? i must know everything..
  22. armchairarborist
    them safetrack machines are brill, its fun just driving them on/off the trailer never mind going on slopes, got a job where the chipper needs to ford a river with 2ft sheer banks, approx 18inch deep with slow flow and boulders, and the local plant hire centre has one.. cant wait:thumbup:
  23. armchairarborist
    no couldnt even get to split a log today, that was really unusual - the logs split themselves today.. think it happened when the cuts were made..
  24. armchairarborist
    yes bob, sorry bob, won't happen again bob, haven't seen one for ages and it was the best bit of a really boring day:thumbup1:
  25. armchairarborist
    might be worth getting the 'good' ear defenders too, the parts for the mod are pretty cheap, think it was £35 including new bigger dogs at the same time as well as the re-tune
