Never had it happen to me so far. When I used to trial L/R or winch competitions then definitely short valve stems as running tyres at low presssure. Washed the wheels on the 110 about 6 months ago and both front valves stems started to leak as they were perished.

Not ideal, but I would not loose sleep over it

If you go for R380 you would need bellhousing linkages etc, so more expense, unless you had one you could nick bits off.

Class 1 here but then I cut wood not my legs as a rule.

Impact gun on the nut,check threading on nut. or you could jam it with a piece of cloth between ring gear and starter motor,if your careful (depends on how well starter motor is attached)
-
Afraid so, If its older than 1 Month, I would bin it or into lawnmower. Try fresh and you may get away with it, whats compression like. If you pick it up by starter handle how long does it take to drop down on the cord.If it drops to the floor straight away its not a good sign.

Nope, freelance selfemployed lads and lasses

What are you paying at the moment, to get the ball rolling. I cant help as I use freelancers, £120 for groundies and £150 for climbers as a rule.

How did you get on, what was the tree surgeons prognosis and more importantly what did he quote.

More and more councils req reductions specified in meters reduced now. Depends how big tree is. They will want to know m reduced for height as well as width

If you look at the 1st picture, you will see that 2 remaining branches are growing close together at a narrow angle, the branch that has come off would have been in the same position as a group of 3. As the branches grow they get thicker, between the 3 branches, there is really nowhere for it to go so it becomes "included" into the joint. This to a degree weakens the joint and pushes it apart and as the tree moves in the wind it tends to open the joint, then you get water and debri entering into the joint and then decay ( you can see the grey staining in your picture this has been going on for a whilst). Then along comes the wind and rain and branch lets go. Others will be along later with a clearer explanation than mine. The single branch could be removed, but I fear that the 2 remaining leaders are starting to split, I would get someone local to have a look. Some will say fell and replant. As a rule branch unions at 45-75 degrees are the strongest
-
Not sure on the oak branch drop, more of a factor is the poor branch union structure and included bark, coupled with the recent rain and has it been windy/strong gusts.

I will stick to my 1970 and 71, 2 door range rovers, does that make me a c**t as well
-
Maybe i'm a tight scot living near aberdeen. But If you've got that sort of outlay coming up I would not be spending that sort of money on a truck, until the cheque for the works start coming in. Maybe it just me.

Never bothered farmers in the past with gang rollers before they got superduper hydraulic folding ones.

Never doubted that you did

What type A chainsaw trousers do people recommend?

I use stihl hiflex but only buy them when heavily discounted. They are not the best for durability but do for me, conny hedge reductions is hard on them as is short stropping the chainsaw in the tree -
