    Thinning Lombardy Pops! anyone ever done that?
  2. Le Sanglier
    Are they lombardys?

    Just ordinary bright steel plate around 8 mm, the rods 20 or 25 mm dia. All the profiles are laser cut on site, you get the profiles, gas struts, bushes, engine, pump levers etc. I looked at buying a S/H boxer but they simply weren't available.

    3000 of the Queen's finest will get what I got. I'll be honest you really have to know a bit about fabrication/welding or know someone who does. (as i did!) Mine was the first machine and the putting together has not been without problems, the plans were sketchy and they don't have a fluent English speaker. Give it a couple of weeks and I'll have it going and will post photos and a review. Compact loaders are the way forward I reckon. Mick

    Will do, going to paint it in Timberwolf orange.

    It's called The Criquet, I have drooled over your loaders for long enough so when i spotted this and I saw the factory was 90 mins from me I went to get one. it is not up to the level (quality or power) of the Boxer or Vermeer but s/h those things are like hen's teeth. Will lift 350 kg (which is it's weight) and can go in the back of the Ranger. Cannot do a link but if you google "chargeur frontal plus" and go onto "nos produits" you will find it. Mick ps €3500.

    Here's mine bought in kit form, in the process of being put together.

    Been meaning to take a pic of this for a while, Plane trees in La Rochefoucauld

    I've been offered "bargain" generators from a Range Rover as far south as here (north of Bordeaux) must be good money in it! Yes they were Oirish!
  10. Le Sanglier
    Did it bleed?
  11. Le Sanglier
    Almost as good as the French spoof!
  12. Le Sanglier
    Good pics and a good story.
  13. Le Sanglier
    Clean toilet roll (on a monday)
  14. Le Sanglier
    I feel dirty even looking at this.

    Well yeah, thanks for taking the effort; If in a situation where an Oak say was to be reduced, first by thinning to produce epicormic then a series of maybe two reductions after two or three years to these points. The rub for me is why not just go back to the desired point in the first place and let the epicormic flush? Rip off the plaster in one go as it were. Reducing the amount of wounds over the years. (Plus cost to the client!) This tree is in my garden, I cut it to shape not specific growth points 4 years ago. Came back from blind ends lovely. Yours Devils Advocate.

    What sort of time scale are we guesstimating? I don't suppose a serial clicker like you would have taken any pics? I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one interested.
  17. Le Sanglier
    :bored: seriously?
  18. Le Sanglier
    Noble words:001_smile: but if you are in business you should know what other people charge, or at least a have good idea!
  19. Le Sanglier
    Ok, good chat everyone, Learnt a bit there.
  20. Le Sanglier
    Species dependent of course, Although it's true Holm Oaks have next to no inner growth. However I have never heard of thinning to create light in the inner crown, with the specific purpose of producing a secondary line to reduce to. (at a later date) Would that be recommended practice? just asking:001_smile:
  21. Le Sanglier
    Do you think that was that the intention? We'll have to wait for T&C's interpretation. But following your train of thought removing inner crown growth (thinning) in order to stimulate shoots from within:confused1: Anyway it's a nice house (and tree!)
  22. Le Sanglier
    Here you are Rob, hope it helps!
  23. Le Sanglier
    Same as, thinning but cannot see a reduction. (not saying it's bad or anything, just curious about the spec)
  24. Le Sanglier
    Yes I do mean the general "you" it would sound a bit daft saying "one". The rest all makes sense:001_smile:
  25. Le Sanglier
    Yes it is a 'moaning about money thread" If you keep losing work on price.then you're too expensive, maybe too slow or using out of date, inefficient machines. Some people should go out of business and end in tears, it's dog eat dog. The idea of everyone driving around waving happily at other tree surgeons knowing we all charge about the same fair rate is La La land.
