Gardiners Tree Surgery

Always think, it's not how you deal with work when it's going good, it's how you deal with it when it's going bad. That will come with experience

Was there no way of getting the felling cut nearer to the ground to maximise the timber

That's similar to my warm up before I get the saw out

Hen of the woods

I also agree perfect specimen, you may find the lichen growing on one side more than the others, not getting as much sun

Always in my thoughts, bit of a life saver sometimes with id on things and advise

Plus met a good few contacts, can't speak highly enough of arb talk

Ok was just a fun thought I had at work. See where you are coming from with a place to post and talk freely

Nice guy hope he is good at fencing though. Looked totalled towards the end

Came to me earlier today. We have aa approved contractors and isa

Why don't we have a thing set up with before and afters or testimonials and become arbtalk approved

Just a fun thought

I think what makes a good groundie is someone who can put himself in the position of what the climber is thinking. Ie making sure ropes are clear, organising brash, being able to send a pre warmed saw up I think is vital, amount of times I've had a cold ms660 brought up to me I've been livid.

Also I think it's how a groundie is treated. My brother grounds for me and works his balls off. Don't know many people like him. Without them we would just be monkeys in a tree so what I'm trying to say is also make sure you work with people who can respect you not just boss you around.

Hiya Hugo

Sorry to hear about the splitter going. I'll keep my ear close to the ground. Thieving f#####s had a go at my shed a few weeks ago.

Shout if you need a hand

Should be some more coming through. If I'm brave I'll try and post a video or two from the go pro

Attempting to upload a few pics from my recent wellintonia dismantle

Hope the pics can be seen

Here goes !!

Sorry guys location is stroud gloucestershire.

We usually crane with brash but we are very tight on space and the customers garden is cleaner than my front room so it's a slowly slowly catch a monkey job.

Also means we can clean and sned as we rig down and keep access clear as it's run as a B and B so needs access the first few days

Hi folks, we have a large wellingtonia being dismantled tomorrow.

Starting with the branches then crane coming in Wednesday to dismantle the pole. I will try and up load some pics.

Is there anybody out there that might be interested in the timber

Approx 90foot tall. A very large stem

Tree was struck by lighting sometime ago so not sure what the timber will be like inside.

In the process of sorting new go pro out so should have some pics and videos to follow

Try simon penna of valley forestry

He has a 30t posch splitter. Should do that no problem

Hi I manage 70 acres in toadsmore if you know it. Full of hazel that needs to be remanaged

Stools from small to large? Is that any good?

Give me a ring

Where abouts are you staying. Simon 07825085286

Sounds good advice.

Keeping thinking about the finance option over 5 years. Only works out to a few hundred quid a month. It's just making that jump.

Been looking for a while now. On the hunt for a tracked 150 are there any dealers out there that will have a machine for about 7-8 k or anybody that is looking to up grade?

Lot to ask I know from price, but hey don't ask you don't get

Not sure if it's me being blind but that tree looks a London plane?

Where abouts are you? Pm your details

Amazing. I think I might start a collection myself

Hi just a post to say that my mate had the Valtra last and part exes it into Wilsons for the yellow 6550 with a roof mount. He looked after it we'll maintaining it every day. In good useable condition and in fact I often drove it and it went well. He says it's rubbish that it was on its last legs and he only changed as he was putting too many hours on it through his forestry business where it was getting used every day for winching, driving a horizontal splitter and forwarding in the woods. He's an owner operator so didn't take any risks with it as he needed it the next day! He bought it off Aspen. Had good solid wheels and a valtra tombstone weight on the front. A few oil leaks but which tractor doesn't? I can pm his number to you if you want to ask him about it directly?

Just wondering if anybody has any feed back on tree hog chainsaw boots and how they are getting on with them.

Just had to send mine back after only 2 months. And I only wear them for 3 days a week max. All the stitching has come away from the heal so I can now put 4 fingers in the space and feel my foot.

Just wondered if any body else has had similar experience
