    it all depends on your budget and how much you think it's worth from a business point of view. No way would I fork out for the high speed stuff but possibly a couple of 4ah standard batteries and hedge cutter with backpack for batteries. Use in conjunction with my Makita gear which likes malfunctioning quite often - 3 Yr warranty is only thing that makes them reasonable option. However looks like the Kress is 3 year as well.

    Its £200 for 60 volt 4 ah battery and £110 for a 5 amp charger. Probably cheaper than competitors for that voltage/ah. It's the high speed chargers and batteries that cost a fortune- probably local authorities and big companies would only pay that money.

    I think that price is for the fancy batteries and high speed charger- 8 minute charge time. Not sure if there is a bog standard 60 volt they offer. The 40 volts are cheaper obviously.

    They seem to suffer from this- whether it's fungal attack?? Anyway, like others stated, they are tough. Cut it back here and it should be ok.

    Where I live in North Yorkshire, Grey Squirrels 'entered' the village around 1980. Very common now. I wonder why Roe Deer( now also common) and the squirrels have prospered whilst most other stuff declined( except buzzards and red kites). Rabbits have also boomed in last 15 years.

    I don't think poplar is durable outdoors and waste oil is carcinogenic.

    It's surprising how deer are apportioned a large part of the blame for decline in woodland birds. I think with farming it's due to intensification and pesticides.

    The guide is a bit non specific regarding pollarding, but reading between the lines , a license probably would be needed for initial pollarding. There is more information on coppicing and diameters- really they should put specific info for pollarding. I guess any legal challenges would be open to interpretation by judges, etc, since it's not actually specified- if it is, then I missed it

    👍 Sounds better🙄
  17. richyrich
    Is license required if it's pollarding a tree that's not been pollarded before and over a certain diameter? Re-pollarding exempt I think,but not 'virgin' pollards??
  18. richyrich
    Yes, hopefully the council workers or contractors don't damage it- careless strimming damages the bark.

    The 555fx is a clearing saw rather than a brush cutter. I've only used with saw blade and it's awesome. Not sure what it'd be like with mulch blade. For trees and saplings it beats a chainsaw. I don't think available UK. GPL shop Sweden. Maybe a bit too specialised for general clearance stuff.

    I recently completed the VALID training in Harrogate. I found it to be very interesting and worthwhile - adding a further 'dimension' to my tree surveying/risk assessment knowledge. David Evans was a great teacher and bought us all a pint (or Dandelion and Burdock)on completion.

    Good morning. I think it is a native, but obviously it's thriving at the expense of less prolific species. Spot spraying with glyphosate might help. Could you get a farmer type to fence in some pigs or wild boar and see if they grub it out. Fence off small areas at a time.

    It's only a Silver birch, does it really matter...It looks like the leader was taken out a few years ago - the tree survived. This way the tree can be retained as long as possible rather than removing it completely due to being too big for neighbours, etc. - if it succumbs to fungus then replace it. More work.

    Don't touch these mowers Over engineered. I had an AS rotary collector mower. An internal belt bust after a year or two. I wrecked the machine trying to access the belt. It was mission impossible. A very expensive disposable mower. Radmore and Tucker used to sell them. I wonder why they stopped... Not saying they are all equally difficult to repair.
