  1. You px ing or direct sale? Predator in Reading are good to deal with, but maybe a bit far....
  2. I’ve tried the ms500, it’s a definite step up, wouldn’t go above 25” on it or you’d lose the fun factor
  3. I bought a 360, it was a good saw. Just lacks The pizzazz of a 201 tcm or 540. I sold it.
  4. I’d be concerned about dodgy gas fitters or brain surgeon s, rouge tree workers, not so much.
  5. Personally I avoid dogtooth cuts when I’m on a strop/flipline, there’s nowhere to go if the saw kicks back. I’m firmly in the go small, go home camp!
  6. I’ve seen that tractor lift some huge bits of wood at full reach and not budge, you’ll be fine!
  7. That’s illegal Steve, I’ve informed the tree [emoji61]‍♂️, apparently you’ve got previous mate, expect a harsh sentence!
  8. And then being asked by the climber to get a photo of him out on the tips....
  9. Yes, if I want a witch hunt I can tune into arborists online!
  10. That is one of the best things I’ve read about brexit. (Speaking as a staunch remainer!) reckon we should air drop a load of Aussie s in to sort it one way or another!
  11. Tbh, the customer is probably delighted, ohhh that’s let the light in etc. I’ve done terrible things to trees at the customers insistence, yes, try and proposes better practices, but if they want their trees topped and lopped I will do it!
  12. Speeding, if some dickhead was doing a ton past the school gates, yes. Benefit fraud/tax evasion (same thing IMO) no. Theft, a scrote doing over someone s shed, yes, someone taking a block of cheese from Tesco, no. Assault, depends on circumstances The rest, yes. Good thread.
  13. I have, on occasion, played fast and loose doing a bit of pruning in a CA, but never considered doing a removal or pollarding (topping) without consent. Tbh, councils have neither the money or inclination to chase up dodgy tree cutters,
  14. And plus1 for definitive sharpening video
  15. Now you come to mention it....... never really thought about it, but yes, defo slightly more precarious on gecko s, but sooooo much more comfortable!
  16. My single cab transit with full arb body (Ali sides/roof, steel bed) weighs 2650 empty with me in it

    That’s a hell of a spade! Lovely lorry
  18. My 2511 is great, 360 Tes a bit underwhelming, pole saw as good as stihl
  19. Has anyone been watching the ww1 documentary’s in bbc4 this week? Harrowing
  20. Wow, when did arbtalk get so Gangsta? Braaap
