Distance a Tree Can be safely growing to a house

That or its a totally fresh form of Internet f*ckwittery... -

IP address check @Steve Bullman? -

So you've been on a few forums and been met with a similar reaction? That sounds like textbook troll behaviour. Have you given any thought as to what the common denominator is? -

You were asked earlier what your qualifications were regarding the subject. I'd be interested to know too. -
I'm not sure of your experience, but there are lots of occasions where the base of the tree in inaccessible for a friction device. Its far more predictable than natural crotch friction, and if you're rigging branches that are too light for the wrench then you should be holding them 🤣
-
There's also a massive difference between putting 3 cuts per tree into softwood, and ringing up bar length hardwood to man sized pieces to load into a transit. Which one do you think is harder in the saw.

Yeah I reckon so. It's kinda wasted on a 20" and pretty good on a 25". It might pull it but it would struggle. I think the oiler would have a job to keep up too
-
I mean, it depends if you want to be compliant with LOLER or not. If you're not fussed just keep it as is. If you are then there are plenty of options in the UK for wire core lanyards with snap hooks
-
Yeah from a LOLER/insurance point of view that snap will be no good. Won't have a CE mark either.
-
Outstanding!
-
There's no point, mate. It's like being in the special Olympics.
-
Pics please That is a really great idea. I'm really happy for you mate, you deserve it. Congrats on the engagement too I guess.
-
There's another option that I wasn't told about. The ignore list means I don't have to suffer short term fools. Remember Vesp or Hairychest?

If I were to get my feelings hurt by a person with a keyboard with next to no industry experience on a forum I'd have chucked in my username a decade before you decided to start offering your opinions. My Mrs bought be a mixed ale pack today. One was a "white chocolate stout". I'll admit i almost cried at that one. I'll thank you not to slander me with terms like that 🤣 I'm getting quite sure that you fancy me. You'll have to fight @Rich Rulefirst though.

This is a very funny post. You've summarised the arb demographic into 3 groups. Your credentials are this. You have a background in aviation, and you also have the Internet. You shouldn't be surprised if your opinion on tree workers gains less respect than your knowledge on self employment.
-
I still don't know what you meant by this.
-
What's your point? At least half of the regular contributors to this forum have at best tenuous links to arboriculture. I think a windows company was commenting earlier. Well that kind of relationship isn't for everyone now. Also if you did feel that way for me I think I'd have to be the little spoon, and I'm not okay with that.
-
I found it quite funny tbf. Paddy was obviously very pleased with himself for "persecuting the police". AAHP was just calling him on it.
-
I think he actually referred to it as a persecution.

I'd like to see a small, hard locking pulley in place of the bridge ring. Rope bridges wear metal rings, I wouldn't want to replace the whole gyro because of that. I'd also like to see a beefier version. Dunno why it just looks like it would have some very weird forces applied to those rivets holding the side plates together
-
For the future, you don't have to modify the stihl bar, you just need an extra drive link in the chain loop. 57dl.
-
Doesn't know he's born. 500i on a 15" bar please
-
You know that your lad is now going to be that apprentice that rocks up to site in full pfanner get up. Might as well buy him a protos ?

Anything fully waterproof is going to be warm. Anything breathable and cool is going to let water in. I've got the SIP KIEU, which is a good compromise. Doesn't seem to leak at all but has under arm vents if its too hot. Under £100 too.
