I don't know what he said but pre earthquake it was like going to Cambridge or another old english town/city. You don't travel to the other side of the globe to see what is only down the road here.

Definatley go on a jet boat.

Ive been 3 times each 6 weeks or more. We buy an old car then sell it. Its easy to get insurance they are geared up for traveling tourists. Last time we went it was 2008-09. You also get to sell the car at the end. South island is spectacular. The ferry for Wellington to picton amazing views. Milford sound is a long way out and I wouldn't go there again. But have been twice. Christchurch and canterbury is flat and boring. The arthurs pass is a brilliant drive with good walks off it. West coast of south island wet and dull. I recomend at least a month on first trip.

Note original post huck

I remember doing pipeline hedge planting a few years ago with a berlingo van, it was winter and wet but we got everywhere, I think I only jumped out once with it in gear to shove it through a sticky patch. Never got stuck. That only had regular tyres. Only downside to vans is towing ability legal weight.

In the thread entitled " Is it actually worth it anymore" these points were brought out by members here who were struggling at that time, and your views in this post seems to have swung the other way now from your views in that post in this instance. It is everyman for himself, you could argue a cleaning company is undervalued, after all who thanks cleaners yet we moan when its messy. Yes life aint fair , the owner of the cleaning and security companies probably live well whilst paying staff a poor wage. I too have be a jack of several trades as many on here are, diversify to survive. I do all my different skilled jobs to the best standard I can with professional pride. No offence intended in my reply, but we need to be grateful we have work and the health to do it as Andy Collins pointed out in the thread I mentioned earlier.

Apparently apples produce the best quality fruit on 5yr or younger main branches that originate from the main trunk. This is applied in some commercial orchards. The worthwhile life expectancy is alledgedly only 50 yr for apple and 100yr for pear trees. Depends on what the owners want, maybe take 60-70% percent out now and the rest out next year or year after depending on how they come back. Ive taken fruit trees down to very little for them to crop well again later. I have taken down to a 6ft stump to recover successfully. However ensure you cut above all graft unions. Often very visible by a wrinkle/bulge across the whole circumference and a contrast in bark on either side of union, some trees have 2 unions and 3 different cultivars e.g 1.rootstock for vigour, 2 interscion wood to ease compatability between rootstock and cultivar or to control vigour 3. cultivar of desired fruit variety. Most common is just a rootstock and cultivar. Generally if you dont cut off the main stem below 3 ft you should be safe. I would hit em hard you have nothing to lose unless you have the last tree in existence of a variety.

Yes need it for hot water, many customers haven't stopped using firewood either.

Chainsaw eclipse:001_smile: If it was in an art gallery.

If the ground isnt too up hill, down dale, Id hire a flail scalp it, then clear the vegetation or heap to compost or burn on site. If its just going to be grass. I wouldn't worry about weeds coming through as with time the mower will weaken and kill most weeds such as dock, nettle and the annual weeds that will burst in to life when its cleared. You may get away with scarifying with a good industrial type of scarifier. Some flail mowers can get interchangeable blades to mow or scarify. To do this sort of job as a business you need a 2 wheel pedestrian tractor or 4 wheel compact I think. If you use an allotment type garden cultivator you will wreck it and yourself.

They could post by royal mail back then though! For example when sending tax reminders out annually to holders of appropriate licences. Most truckers or bus drivers would find out this way and tell coleagues by word of mouth,.Same goes for changes in drivers hour regs. etc etc. The many other changed regs. Ive held a LGV C+E for 17 years and they have never notified me once unless they did with digicard. We know you love to be up to date on transport law Treequip. But most truck drivers I know prefer to go home and leave work in the long days they do at work. Im not interested in following up a debate, its only my opinion after all.

Off the grid, dream location, I went to an army barracks the other day with no id. Told to sit in a chair in less than 2 minutes I had a photocard id with my mugshot on it. I didn't like the thought I was tagged so quickly.

Another eliminated then, I was looking at the hues of colour.

Tree is not Alnus cordata or glutinosa, incana is dull. I dont think its rubra either. All alnus ive seen including various grafted cultivars are much more widely spaced in the leaf habit.cones certainly look like alder. Have they fallen of another tree nearby and got wedged in mystery tree. The tree twig looks like a malus spp. But could it be an exotic such as Tupelo known in latin as nyssa i think or similarly spelt.

Another set of goalposts moved and we everyone is supposed to know. Other such things would have a legal obligation to notify all concerned in writing. How is the average working man supposed to know? Work by day, google traffic law by night! You might as well be a solicitor/lawyer specializing in traffic law instead. Good of you to post, should of been done by those concerned!!!!!

Try this old thread. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/maintenance-help/34729-bcs-flail.html

I find that. Maul, wood grenade, felling axe. Hoping to put x27 in the mix soon.

Where are the other 3645? I only see 5.

Ive not used skidsteers much but they can be very capable tool carriers,Ive seen northern tree transplanters treespade in action on a bobcat with tracks in muddy winter conditions. Impressive. Winch and logsplitter should be no problem either, treespades need good hydraulic capability. northerntreetransplanters

And snow speeder for winter as well Rebel scum:thumbup1:

Thanks Tony I knew there would be a deeper definition. I understand what your saying. I cannot recollect ever seeing naturalized anenomes in woodland. East Yorkshire was the most underwooded county in a survey a few years back.

Aye first I thought it was a tiny tree!

P.S I even got my mum to get me the theme tune on 45rpm vinyl. Still got it, The side b was "Lust in ladys eyes" performed by Lee Majors. Absolutely disgusting. might be on you tube.

O dear!!!! now I realise where the fall guy fans went to... Arbtalk. That includes me, strange how brown and gold was cool. I almost cringe when I see how tacky it was. Tyres squealing on grass! Smashed up truck looking fine in the getaway. We was easily entertained. No regrets though, I went out there and had a go. Bikes, trees etc now its "don't try this at home!" Spoilsports, I bet that chevy has a good ol toilet flush carb as well kid!

Tony you say indicator species. How does that work. I know they reckon you can tell the age of a hedge by the different species in a certain length, which I don't trust at all because now hedges are specified to have a greater mix of different species and in 30 years or so, you wont be able to tell hedge age if they have been laid or trimmed. Maybe Im just a sceptic. But I test it out for myself rather than being an easy yes man. I do imagine anenomes need a certain level of decay. Because they dont thrive in gardens naturally that well?
