  1. It's true last orders for defenders need to be in by June for the last production run in December
  2. I work rights of way in hampshire We use one with a carving bar on, it comes in handy when doing bridge works. And for small trees or branches that come down .
  3. I was told about this at college (to many years ago to mention) as a way of climbing conifers so yes you heard right, as you climb you go round the stem pulling your line with you.

  6. Hate the stuff . It gums up your saws if left for any length of time
  7. First company I worked for had one, that was an eye opener feeding one them at the age of eighteen.
  8. There is no reason the bridge will need supports in middle the largest bridge we have done unsupported is 85 feet, made of larch poles cut from Wales and transported to Hampshire to span the river avon near ringwood. For A 30 foot bridge we would have a beam of at least 12 inch depth. 3 of them but that's just the specs for a bridge on a highway, we have to work to strict guidelines. We get our beams from sydenhams timber as they are stressed tested
  9. Notice can be served under the highways act (154) for encroaching vegetation to be done within 14 to 28 days or the council can do it and bill landowner costs. Last year we were sent on course and we are supposed to check trees within falling distance of rights of way but this would be a full time job for a team of blokes just in the area I cover. It is a bit of a grey area and generally we just clear when the trees have fallen if we dont know who the landowners are
  10. If it is a nice bit of fire wood and we can get our van right to it then we do it
  11. I work for hampshire rights of way and From a rights of way point of view the liability lies with the owner of the tree, but if land owner can not be found then we would clear branch or tree and make safe and return the arisings off the footpath and back over fence:001_tt2:
  12. A group of us are going Friday the other half is coming so may curb the spending lol
  13. Some good walking around church Stretton up on the long mynd and wenlock edge went there a few years back stayed in a little farm called spingbank farm nice cossy little camp site
  14. Dont know if they do a bow saw model but that woud be a tool and a half.
  15. Got a report today of tree across path on river itchen path,report said it was a small tree no location just somewhere between eastleigh and allbrook. So of we go with silky in hand find the tree and it is a large limb about nine to ten inches in diameter. So we set about it with the silky 15 minutes later tree cleared path safe. Or it would of been half hour back to van to get chainsaw.
  16. Apparently it is a kestrel dont know who did it though
  17. Worst landi ever made wouldn't take it even for free lol
  18. Sholing 07557096156 is my mobile give me a shout and we will have a chat once I have got enough at home I'll direct you to another place you can tip the wood
  19. Did mine last year got an old six by six oak post and used the Alaskan to face it up turned out pretty well. Then rubbed in some danish oil. All for the price of a tank of fuel and a morning in the garden. Mate I know bought one of e bay reclaimed and paid 350 for what in effect is something that looks the same
  20. Cutting edge hire colden common Chris delivered one round for me on Saturday and stayed to help put my new flue in nice chap couldn't recommend him enough:thumbup:
  21. Had the t4 for work,four wheel drive version no complaints they upgraded to the t5 three years ago and this year alone it has been off the road for ten weeks with clutch problems, the diff lock not disengageing electrical burning coming from dash, the rear springs came off the axle mounts. So my experience with the t5 has not been good but would have a t4 any day
