Thing is though to bear in mind is if she does it once she may try it again and others may also try catch 22 here

And where abouts was it??

Good stuff Good to see a nice crane job, look forward to seeing more Think pictures will need formatting or re sizing etc

I think your bob on there at that price.... as for the above post, 20.00 a chain lol thats a rediculous price..... 20 quid for both maybe thats more realistic due to the size of the chain's......

As said buy a secondhand stihl or husky.... whats your budget? what size of saw/cc are you after also?

I haven't used a form for conservation areas... i just send an email off with address and tree location etc.

you don't have to apply in a conservation area.... you just "notify" the council of works to be done, then 6-8weeks turn around, probabilly have an answer before that.

Really good video and a pleasure to watch Is that a job you had to do when subbing? also what rope is that and size? 13mm 45mtr ?12mm etc also you must rate the saw pod? Its nice to reduce with silky's and leave the noisey things in the box lol good to watch

yes they are heavy, have used one when subbing, not sure if i like the finishing cuts made with them, as the oil tank etc can block the view of your cut.....

lots to do...... horses for courses Like has been said, they are quite bad for vibes..... might climb, depends how much to do vs time scale....

My key doesn't stay in on mine!

Thats what i ment in a roundabout way

Also i'm after the 5 mtr height of cut....

Well, its not i don't like them but i know people that use them that have problems with the 4 mix hedge trimmers etc..... very unreliable starting, like to eat spark plugs.... one tree surgeon told me he was gutted his old ht75 hedge trimmer was nicked and he got a hl95 4 mix as a replacement! Also only want to spend 300-350 max as its only an occasional use

35-40 yards max range really, and it depends how dark the night is also, but theyre good and its horses for courses

Theyre too bright for some stuff though, depends what you shoot and what with! I've also used one of them "police" led torches, mounted to my scope with some modified scope mounts, it came with a "touch" switch i could tape to my stock near the barrel end of the stock, so had trigger finger free and ready

Deben mini or maxi on my old .177 precharged rifles! and made a red filter from an old tizer bottle

Evening all, may be looking into buying a pole pruner in the near future. Looked at the price of new ones and i think they are a little ott! and no i'm not vat registered....... 500 odd and 600 odd These are stihl ones i'm looking at btw. I'm looking into a secondhand one as it will not see much use, which would be the one to go for? You can get the old style ht/hl? 75 then the ht101 4 mix then the ht131 4 mix again..... Not keen on 4 mix, and been told they are being phased out very soon, should i go for an old reliable ht/hl 75? or would the ht101 4 mix be a bit more punchier? Cheers

Harsh reduction will make it worse than it is.... Why not look into crown lifting it slightly, possibly thin it out a little or if for asthetics, pull some of the longer growth out on the areas where it sticks out as long as there are some good growth points to bring it back to

Mine Three Top man!! Cheers

What chipper is that? a tunnison 5" petrol??

I'm with tim on this.... soon as possible i split and store and just keep filling it up

I left my old window sticker one in my old truck when it was sold, i was gutted lol as after getting more tickets, no sticker came through! This pdf version, is it good enough to be blown up so i can have one 14" square etc? even though its oblong lol

do you not know who he works for... lol

Evening all, Just a question about conifer roots..... There is a conifer approx 4ft away from a house, it is 15-18ft tall and has been topped before and then kept in shape. It is 12" dbh. As its close to the house it has grown on a "slight" lean to get to the light, and has put some growth on on the base of the tree nearest to the house, when growing to allow for the slight lean. Any how there is a path between the house and the tree, approx 36" wide, some of the flags have started lifting slightly and become loose, very nearby there is a downspout running down the side of the house for the top water. Customer is concerened about it possible interfering with the drains. Going to have a closer look but what is the likely hood of it interfering with the drains? Would it only affect these if allready damaged... or will pressure from roots expanding cause damage? Obvioursly the path can be altered if the conifer is to remain and not affect the drain. Depends on what the customer wants. Any help would be great. Sorry no pics.
