I suspect the OP meant the girthiest trees are 7 feet in circumference at 5 feet above ground level (about two feet DBH). Suggest OP consults forestry contractors or some sort of land agent before arb contractors. You could probably do with advice on the value of the wood. My first suggestion was have a forester in to show the scouts how to do it but you’ve probably got some gay rule about that.

Yep. He’s exactly the sort of thing I’m after. Much obliged.

Yeah. I don’t follow any women. It’s all “DM for promote” and nice arses. There are other parts of the internet for that. I tried Boel for a while but it was all unnecessarily fiddly srt stuff. John Lloyd is a good but infrequent poster.

I’ve unfollowed a few recently, most noteworthily August Hunicke and Reon Rounds. Too much easy crane work and not enough tricky rigging recently. Don’t get me wrong; they’re still good tree men but just not teaching as much as before at the moment. zigzagman.zr is slightly fresher. #realriggas is longterm useful.

Low impact forestry services in Devon and the South West

Everything apart from the carriageways, no doubt. -
Winches fitted on top of hopper on bigger chippers

Reg Coates video on YouTube of a PCW mounted on a large-for-UK chipper. -
This I approve of.

I think aspen Bob has one.

@doobin@donnk@dumper I’m reasonable at remembering people on this forum, what they do, what they know about, whether I trust them or like them etc. But for some reason I just can’t file you three in my head. I keep thinking you’re one person. Would you be so kind as to each briefly say where you live, what you do etc and describe yourselves. Like I know one of you runs old vehicles, one buys new diggers, one doesn’t just do trees. No idea which one which though. Odd request I know.

What would you charge to drive ten miles to look at it and give advice about what to do with it?
-
I only do takedowns.

Promise I hadn’t seen your post when I said that.

Snap!

It’s not ginko is it?

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.
