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
AHPP replied to Big J's topic in General chat
Everything apart from the carriageways, no doubt. -
Winches fitted on top of hopper on bigger chippers
AHPP replied to swinny's topic in Large equipment
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.

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.
