  1. I have a mature Quercus robur to fell, the tree is growing within 6 feet of the property. The tree is the same age as the property. I am thinking of: Year 1: 33% crown reduction Year 2: Nothing Year 3: Heavy pollard Year 4: Nothing Year 5: Dismantle the stem Do you think this has given enough time or shall I spread it over another year or 2... Cheers guys & gals

  10. Welcome mate, if I were in your situation id contact as many contractors as possible and try to get in the door, offer your help as a volunteer on your days off from college. This will show willing and how keen you are and when you finish college you will have experience within the industry and the company you have been helping out at may even offer you work. Good luck

  14. That happened to one of my lads who was taking down a black pop on Thursday, he was using an MS650 with a 25" bar, he had got down to the main stem which had a lean of aprox 15-20 degees off straight, he proceeded to put a gob in and when nearly completed the back cut the piece of timber started to fall and pulled the saw out of his hands consiquentaly pulled him off his spikes and ended up hung and swinging by his strop! The other grounds man and I were far more shocked than the climber, suppose it looked far worse than it actually was. Scary though! He was more bothered about damaging my saw! Silly boy lol although that was in the back of my mind lol Everything ok though climber and saw phew...!

  18. Sorry i didn't see your chain type was a H36, this chain type is a pitch of 3/8" therefore you should you a 5/32" file. Cheers
  19. Which should I use, 5/32" or 4mm? ...5/32' is 4mm I think you meant 'which should I use - 5/32" or 4.5mm correct...? I would use 3'16" which is 4.8mm The pitch of the chain on a Husky 240 is either 0.325 or 3/8" I think what this means is it depends on what chain you are running on your saw Ring your local dealer or any national dealer
