    haha that reminds me of a group that came into where we were working all 'we have a right to go anywhere anytime' I was in the middle of giving him an earful about the fact that regardless who or what he was he wasn't going anywhere till the guy up the tree said otherwise his mates turned round and cycled away leaving him there somewhat deflated when he noticed :lol:

  16. fergusonforestry
    im sure somebody covered this already does it not mean overhang of actual vehicle body not load more concerned with what it will actually handle than the legal issues, if it sticks out a lot i'll mark the end and get an escort

    still as nature intended at the moment but should be coming down next week, unfortunately don't have access to things like ballast blocks, could always ratchet a 45gallon drum to the headboard and fill with water I guess? kinda hard to see here with all the growth around it but am hoping to take it at the first major branch which must be getting on for 20' all depends on how sound the timber is might just go away in 2m lumps if its no good but if it is i'd like to keep it as big as I can https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=cherrytree+balerno+edinburgh&hl=en&ll=55.893028,-3.333827&spn=0.000003,0.002642&sll=55.934491,-3.201485&sspn=0.054231,0.169086&hnear=Cherry+Tree+Crescent&t=h&z=19&layer=c&cbll=55.893028,-3.333827&panoid=-2OswGJBv1H1Mc1lXZesjw&cbp=12,103,,0,-6.4

    no chance this stick is gona go ontop a load it is a load! jus wanted to know how much before i got practical problems with weight over the back etc, im guessing with the axle being quite far back a couple of metre should be ok? its a street tree so no dragging can be done
  20. fergusonforestry
    how much overhang do you think I can get away with on this trailer? the bunk is about 3.5/4m , got a big sycamore trunk to shift and want to keep as much length as possible, getting something else in is not an option
