  1. The chute on my vermeer 620i was awsome! don't get me wrong it was a big one and took 2 people to take it off, but it had a wide oblong exit it could throw chip really far, which is more than what i can say for tw150
  2. My hs80 hedge trimmer didn't stop today when in the stop/off position
  3. looks like the tree is leaning? if so there is more pressure put on the compression side? And with death of cambium will this weaken the wood at the tensile side (where fungi is?) ? Would it be a reduction to counteract the above for a while (to retain for a little longer) but it will probabily have to be removed at some point? depending on safety risk? Please go easy on me lol only thinking out loud..... hama????
  4. Not on my bench but my little peugeot partner van's clutch has given up so i'll have to do that soonish Touch wood not had to do any saw repairs etc (lately)
  5. True Just thinking of how i can justify what mine is, think i'll say wood chip / mulch I've only just started to keep it as a friend lets me put it on some land There is some good in my pile.... just a lot of conifer and other stuff
  6. Woodchip, barkchip and mulch...... Surely these are all the same...maybe not mulch but to me wood chip and bark chip is the same. I've had a few people say they want bark chip... i say "Ooo you mean wood chip, i can supply this" and they say they want bark chip Also do you ever get peple who say "can i have some good stuff" Its all the same!! What do you all do with your chip? Do you class some to be good stuff and some rubbish? Do you mix it all in together? Conifer etc? Cheers all, put me out of my misery lol
  7. so this applies to both tpo and con area i know i'm justified in removing this one so just wanted to clarifie will be taking picks of the holes due to root plate movement, dead bark etc and any others i need Cheers
  8. Hi there, Quick querie/ conformation. Just been and looked at a pear tree that is in a conservation area, there is some deadwood in the tree, some bark falling off etc but worse of all there is a problem with the root plate, and this weather has made it considerabily worse. There has now developed a few holes in the ground around the base of the tree and the root plate has a lot of movement. As said this tree is in a conservation area, it is at risk of blocking a road, knocking a wall over, if it went the other way it would damage a porch/windows/roof and maybe telephone lines. To me i see this as imediate danger thus i am allowed to remove this tree straight away? Should i have to ring the council/inform them? If the winds get up more, i'd be surprised if it is still up in the morning, when i plan to remove....... What would happen if "a" tree was tpo'd but deemed dangerous, would works/removal still be allowed to be carried out without contacting the council? if said to be an imediate danger just after some clarification Cheers
  9. wonder if there's any place's left for the one day a week one bit late though can only try
  10. :001_smile:what is the base/starting course in arb? sorry to de rail is it a full time course your doing? Cheers
  11. oops, wrong page in the book back into the shadows i go lol That was for Coniophora puteana Collybia fusipies - The affected roots can become extensively decayed, but the decay rarely, if ever, extends above ground level. Little is known about this type of decay. Principles of tree hazard assessment and management, Hama

  13. i used to use simmons white tail classic scopes, really clear, but no mill dot and extra's. You tried typing in, j s ramsbottom's for shooting supplies, i that was the firm i used to get my stuff off and they were really good on price's I had a mk2 rapid .177 17 shot, it was a lovely gun, shame i kept swapping and changing had a daystate airwolf after that .177 love .177 calibre for hunting etc. Airgunbbs is a good forum to be on. Best gun i have ever owned was a bsa hornet .177, they don't make them anymore but i really could get on with them, i'd have another if one popped up and it was mint, in a flash! Sorry for the de rail
