Well get called out to clear a hanging branch from an Oak tree. Its in a CA and has recently lost another limb last week. So i Give my local council a ring so they know whats going on. WELL!!! I get told by the TO that if its not hanging precariously i will have to wait till they have been and looked! WHAT its at least a quarter of the top of the tree. I said, well i will drive out there today and have a look myself some people try to take trees down after high winds. I was dumbfounded:confused1: so asked an e-mail to say that they take responsibility if it falls on someone from 10am today to 11am tomorrow? No we won't do that its the land owners tree. I replied and he's trying to carry out his duty of care and safety to the public. No, i will go have a look today. Well its gone 3pm and i still haven't heard a peep. Some people.

Used them for years great on branbles, thorn hedges, mashes it down nicely too almost to nout, great bit of kit IMO. Although have ripped the guard of a good few times whilst cutting. Ain't it called a 'power prunner trimmer' PPT ?

Wow, what a thread just learnt heaps about square chains and racing chains. I have found myself looking further into chains recently after i started milling timber so i went from ripping chains, then heard about skipping chains so swapped my large bar chain and noticed improvements. Have filled a full chisel chain to 10 degrees by accident (whilst felling and millling) worked a treat really. Now i want to have a go doing a race chain type thingy....

I too have had some that haven't had a mass of regrowth probaly due to the tree using its energy at un-pruned points because they need less energy to run. But also i have done some reductions which have grown like wildfire, they were all by the river in norwich so they always had a source of water. Pollards (sorry for swearing:lol:) are another kettle of fish, man they go some. Also after re reducing and pollarding willows it seems rot decay rate is the same for cuts the same size to me....

Broke a competitors elbow from a arm bar durning a hapkido comp (he refused to tap so kept slowly applying pressure and CRACK), Also had a figure 4 lock on my ankle and screamed like a girl:blushing: whilst tapping the foor as quick as i could. As well being knocked out in 18seconds durning the same comp by a spinning hook kick.

Have to agree it looks like Bacterial wetwood to me.
