the verminator

are you after big dbh? i drove past this oak yesterday on the edge of grantham. big ode tree. has been reduced big time a while back otherwise it would have been a beast

ill certainly try to pop up there on sat

what WorcsWuss said, plus a tow ball for moving uk sized chippers and trailers about

a mate of mine killed a 560 in 9 months. was replaced under warranty and so far so good. his was one of the very first tho. atleast green stripe int far from you mate, they'll sort it for you if ote goes wrong

we had a demo machine,2 customers loved it,the other 4 said it was far to numb and heavy,So not realy sure if its worth all the long winded hype to be honest

Well hopefully with the delayed release date these problems will be resolved

buy the shortest most ton you can, 30ton ones turn up.

Makes sense, cheers

what tonnage bottle jack would you idealy have for tree work. im geussing the more it will lift the bigger it is so there must be a ideal size?

i c trees im the same as you, would prefer a t540 on what iv heard.

eddy, that seems to be the way it is atm

does any one know if the new husky tophandle is still on for release in feb? im in need of a new one but could make do untill feb if it is still on for release?

thanks in advance

Gary

smoking them to terriers is the most fun. second is a air rifle, bait up with peatnut butter as rats love it and have to eat it on the spot as they cant carry/drag it away

i never even new electric mirror, heated screen and RFW switch were ment to light up. mine never have, or my fog light button thinking about it. must be a common problem on that age as mine is a 55 plate

the arb show is well worth going to mate, me and martyn will most likely be going and poss a couple of others. you can hitch a lift with us if you decide to go

nice job mate, glad it all went ok. ill have to have a look at you 550 next time i see you as i havent seen one yet

albere, its a proper nice tree for climbing, as you can see in the vid thats only covering about half of it

we were in the sycamore as well mate, just the footage dosent realy show what its like. will have to try and get some better footage next time

finaly got another go pro after my last one got nicked this is a work climb type thing that me and mw arb have made. if a rec climb invite pops up from me, mw arb or tom2020 this tree will more that likley be avaliable feel free to take the piss as its not very smooth or fast lol

nice one sam

Sorry for the wait but this is better than never Gary?

cheers dave, better late than never

Ok, here's another similar case, American Mink, I worked on a carp fishing lake in a previous life and the boss would trap and shoot them. Presumably as there are European Mink here on the mainland they lived in the UK and just never made it back after the ice age.

An absolutely beautiful animal, ok so I sure people will have stories of mink killing all their ducklings, chickens etc just like any other predator (stoat, rat, fox) but to me they are are real treat to see.

Now the water vole question, here's my answer, so what! If it was a choice between the two I'd rather see a mink than a vole on the river bank. But the vole is a native see! one of the holy 21 mammals that came back after the big freeze so no expense should be spared to save it.

I just wanted some out of the box thinking on these "aliens"

so you want a world full of predators? what happens when the predators run out of food? you wont see neither then

Hi Gary, that's a negatory,spotted it a while ago too. You would have spotted the beech had lost a large limb then? The issue is care of duty as has been stated already ,I don't think any of the learners should climb it and you know what I'm like with health and safety lol

Dave

didnt go at that end of the camps, will be sure to look next time im that way on not at all dave

What would the bats have to live in then Martyn:sneaky2: did you see the hanger across the field from where you boys were climbing Sunday ? The ash next to the assessment oaks?

Dave

i pm'd you about that hanger a a couple off weeks ago dave, you only just seen it? i put a thread up on here about the fung on it with regards to the beech, it put up with the last winds and we climbed it after the TO had been. if i rember rightly he said he would climb it if it were to come down

hi, unfortunately just had the next 3 days canceled by a regular company due to them been 200 yards from a river that looks like its gonna bust its banks. so if your looking for a climber this week within a hour of lincoln please pm me

thanks, Gary

thanks

we'll ive pm'd the member so hopefuly will get a more useful shot

these are the others i took,
