Whoever decides what street trees to plant in Nottingham is clearly having fun. An unusual prevalence of robinia pseudoacacia and some other stuff I don’t recognise. What’s this one in the town centre?
-
If you want to take the pointlessly measured approach of retaining it if possible etc, then hang a plumb bob from the trunk, hammer a stake into the ground where the bob hangs and observe. If you want to be sensible, get it down.

Wych?
-
I thought EM2 family from the curvy bits but discounted it as just too unlikely. On reflection, only as unlikely as anything else.
-
I've been trying to place it for the last couple of days. First thought was French, then the trigger guard made me wonder if it was some mad bullpup Galil I don't know about, then the magwell looked like it was indeed for pistol rounds and I thought it could be a .22 of some sort, or even just a toy. No idea basically. Would be interested to know though. Given its obscurity, I concur with your statement, Alec. I've no idea how it ended up in your river.

Also interested in non tree things that people follow that can carry over into trees. For example, I follow ship rigging hashtags for the ropework.
-
A few years on, who are people following now? Same as above. Serious tree tips, not lifestyle stuff.

Ended up going with 16” 3/8p .050”. It’s OK. Hardest work it’s done is bar length dead oak and live eucalyptus. Coped fine. Suspect 18” would have been on the border between fine and a bit slow but still acceptable.

There's a place near Middlesbrough that advertises/sells on ebay winches similar to the photo you posted.

Yacht windlasses?
-
Yearly competition in the south west. Some impossibly buff local chap always cleans up and presumably then gets all the women pregnant. A few years ago, a bloke on here was doing the research on the best strimmer to port to seize the scytheman’s crown.

Although I don’t know a vast amount about hedgelaying, I’d be amazed if battery wasn’t the answer there as it is for loads of other tree work. If he wants petrol though, I have Stihls 170, 250 and 039 for sale and I’m not a million miles away from you.
-
It definitely isn’t.
-
Let it go quiet for a few months and then move/kill them.
-
Same except I find it more comfortable with spikes.
-
I can’t wait to for you to move so we can find out how terrible Sweden suddenly is.
-
I’d have said fuel until you said it didn’t work with fuel down the bore. Air filter?
-
Would running things like quad bike and shooting training courses be sufficiently agricultural?
-
Alpacas are like charcoal making, just a planning permission tool because they need supervision.
-
I’d personally go with something different like pandas but within more normal bounds I’d take cows over sheep any day. Sheep are a nightmare.
-
And for the opposing view:
-
What Matty and Joe said. 500s are excellent.
-
Any 1/4p converters?
-
Yours was the least unhelpful post.
-
I'm asking about a different saw and wanting to hear the experiences of people who have tried what I asked.
