I would say if it had a TPO on it you still have to go through the proper chanels with the council, if it was a small area of say 15-20 trees consult your local FC rep in your area, As Stubby says be careful, as the timber goes very brittle, some trees we have worked on in the past 3 yrs will have been dead for a year or 2 but have still come in to leaf but they are just living of the moisture in the timber hence why the timber goes brittle, if you have to climb it be very careful and tie in on something thats substancial,

So after reading this thread from start to finish, the woodlands mills are OK ? as been told by some one that they where not that good !! then looking round and doing some homework to me they seemed very much OK, I have a chance of some Larch like about 700 tonne, some i can sell on for sawlogs and chip but some i will hang on to and buy a mill and do a bit on that when its raining (so thats till march) all so have a meeting with UU on Monday regarding more larch so i might be unendated with it come christmas, i dont need a big mill as i dont plane on milling all the time as i have other things on but like of late just been on the firewood and making some room in the building and looking where to position a mill,

In our line of work which is subbing to a large forestry Co, If there H&S guy came on site and they randomaly do, if one of us had a saw with out the warning/addvise stickers on and it was found he would be sent of site or told not to use that saw until new stickers where fitted, Harsh i here you say but them stickers are there for a reason,

-

nice fish are the two large ones ferox trout. i have never had the pleasure of catchin a double figure trout .had plenty large pike n salmon First photo is 6,12 and not sure if that was a ferrox or a sea trout, the 2nd one was ferrox of 12,02 and the 3rd one all so a ferrox of 16,14, I had targeted a ferrox for many years but with zero results and then the 2 fish in the last 2 photos where caught with in 24 hrs of each other on the same water but about 5 miles apart, other lads had been catching them for several years but lady luck was not on my side until these 2 came along,

Sorry to hear this, it stinks and there is all ways something in the small print that never makes sence until you have read it 20 times, When you dont pay on time they are on your back day in day out for payment, but look what happens when the situation is reversed, i know another lad who had there van and all contents nicked but van was found i think ? i will ask him how they have gone on,

This guy in question is supposed to be a fully trained arbourist but just watching him with a saw for ten minuets makes me think he is not, He was not shown or told to roll his saw pants up to his knees when using a saw when he did his CS 30/31 and any of the other tickets he claims to have,,,,

That dont supprise me one little bit with that figure, you want to get on a page called Stihl chainsaw fans on FB and see what the bell ends over there film and write and post publicly, 10 bottles of Bud and a few joints and then out with the ported 880 to cut some firewood, with flip flops n shorts on,

Chainsaws can be made alot safer than they are all ready and it would be a very simple answer, and that is just dont let idiots use them, there are far to many people out there that say they can use a chain saw but sorry to say they havent got a clue, Was on a job a few wk back and one guy with saw boots and pants on snedding a tree but he has saw pants rolled up to his knees ? what the point of that exercise was is beyond me but some of the younger lads just seem to be so clever and when you point something out to them, i am just a silly old t - - t that knows FA, but only been doing it 40+ years but know nowt !!
-
They got more money down south, you should,nt of been so lavish with your first bid 😂
-
All the saws i have had from your shop have been assembled and fuelled and oiled and a test run done,
-
Doomed i think your right there, its high time some one took a grip on this country and sorted some things out properly instead of playing at it ? I cant say what i feel about how the last 2 years have been but things are not getting any better for sure, K you say plant more trees, but whats the point ? when another infection will just get them, we restocked many sites that where cleared of Larch and we planted Douglas fir, Hemlock Spruce and Cedar on some of them, but it looks like the DF and Hemlock could of been a waste of time now,
-
Yes your probably bang on the money with that comment and i would bet that its probably halfway up the country by now, but it wont be found till its looked for and now they will start looking for it,,

FFS we are not going to have any trees left at this rate, and is this another part of Tony Blaires legacy ???, first Ramona Phytophthora was found in Cornwall in what 2008 and probably been there several years before it was identified, The great green house project, The Eden project was built and filled with Trees and plants from all over the world ??? and 2 very serious threats to our woodlands have started in that area ? Who the F - - k runs these so called projects ?? we here in the north west have hardly any Larch left now due to Phytophthora and there is 10,000 roadside Ash trees to come down due to Ash dieback,,,

I dont see why the oil in the fuel needs changing ? used the stihl red oil for many years in all our saws and its never been a problem ?. I bought a 660 about 12 mth ago that had been purchased back in 2014, but i do know it had not had more than 20 ltrs of fuel through it and just sat on a shelf in a workshop for last 5 yrs , i gave £500 for that and sold it on for £800 but it was very clean and a genuine little used saw, your £500 is fair i think, but i do think you could get a bit more for it,

Seatrout ??

well just watched the full fight, Wilder had burnt him self out by end of round 6, looking for that big punch but not connecting, fury was out of it in the first 2 rounds then started to come back, wilder down then fury down twice, fury made headway from round 7 and dominated from there, he wore wilder down and then put him down, blood coming out of wilder,s left ear again and bleeding heavy from his mouth, Wilder will have to go back to fighting no bodies or better still just retire as he aint lived up to all the hype !! Fury well who is going to stop him ? it wont be AJ or David Haye may be Usky ? but i dont think so,,,

Get in training J and have go you will make millions ?, I can watch boxing all night and some of the best fights i have seen are from the middle weight, super middle weight, welter weight divisions, the 80s and 90s where the best by far in these divisions, Haggler, Hearns, Lenoard, Duran, Jones, then in to the 90s we had Benn, Eubank, Watson and Mcclelan, very explosive fights, I cant see what people see i Football and what they get paid is outrageous, and when they cant hit something thats 24ft wide and 8ft high from 6yds is beyond me ?? God help us if we have a third world war as it wont be footballers that win it for us, they will be supposed to be bombing Berlin and hit London instead and score a home goal,,,

It will pay you to spend a wet day on the phone and do some shopping around, Mine was up for renewal during the first lock down and after ringing and leaving voicmail several times and several emails, the renewal was getting closer so googled some insurance co,s and ended up with a better policey for about half the cost of what i was paying before, it all depends on what your doing, if i can remember who i did it with i will msg you the details,

Well he is not moving to the Charlie Chester paradise of Clitheroe 😂😂😂, He has been trying to buy the old water mill just down the rd from me, but its not a place to have young kids running about,,i will point it out to you one day,,
