Can the council tell a private tree owner what to do with their tree in your area?
-
I thought it looked foreign but gave the benefit of the doubt.
-
Whatever, status quo.
-
That’s the gif that means I’ve missed something very, very obvious. Enlighten me.
-
Do the council own the trees? Is it in a conservation area? Are they subject to tree preservation orders? Assuming all no, **************** the council and their crass opinion.
-
You and everyone else.
-
Now that is interesting.
-
It's actively counterproductive sometimes. I think it's crass and energetically discriminate against businesses who use it.

Like Dan was beginning to get at, most top handle injuries will be jobbing tree surgeons, probably with the ticket, just in a rush. I did a bit of firewood yesterday. Jeans, soft boots. 661, 13” bar, softwood rakers. Safe as houses because I had all the time in the world to be very deliberate. The real danger is working too hard. No need for it.

I have a set of overalls with a patched up front from a knotted wire wheel chewing into it. That woke me up. I treat the thin slitting disks with a lot of respect. Keep speed up, very careful to not get bound, try to stay off the line of fire. I like guards too. Something to rest thumb on.

I did a chestnut like that over a paper thin (and listed…) tin roof in London. Something like 6 or 7 foot dbh. Walloping great branches. 12” bar wasn’t enough. Nothing under a convenient rigging point. Was using a (clutchless) petrol capstan for lifting at the time. Not easy. Groundsman was brilliant. Three days. Felt like it.

I've been on Rocwood for years. Just decanted my first barrel of Gator ET30 (ISO 100). Tackier. Does the stringy thing when you pour it. Visibly less transparent.

How did you find the RCW?
-
Tricky tree.
-
Can’t see why not but I’m no expert. You won’t cut the last 8 or so inches if there’s a stump in the way. It’ll be unpleasant going uphill.
-
It looks like JFDI again. Thanks, consultants. Have you bought that lovely pickup yet, peds? P.S. Sailor's colour is blue. It shows up better on the screen too. He hasn't turned blue in a medical sense if that was your worry.
-
Are you milling uphill or threading the bar through each cut?
-
Is it the PD engine? If so, any problems?
-
The irony being that run around Passats with the aforementioned PD do call for special oil. A mate has had a couple of the engines in other cars and says it does matter
-
Hush now. It's been good to me.
-
I once thought I might want to get into this micro forestry. I went and saw one of these in action and walked behind it as it did a collection cycle. Christ, I was bored watching it once. Shelved that idea fairly fast.
-
Gotcha. Cheers.
-
What were the attempted cons?
-
**************** government. You're in charge of you.
