i messed up in a similar way but without pull rope, surrounding trees too close to let the top freefall and it found its way back to me, the twigs dragging down across my shoulders seemed to take forever

great hook, I always remember the other one 'like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown' ha ha

the betting firms must be doing well out of this "While you can’t bet on politics or entertainment props in the United States, you most certainly can in the offshore markets and especially in the United Kingdom, whose citizens seem to revel in wagering on what happens in Washington D.C. PaddyPower, an Ireland-based book, has seen a big swing this week on multiple Trump proposition bets. Most notably, on the prop of Trump ceasing to be president this year – via any means – PaddyPower moved from 10/1 down to 4/1. That means the bookmaker more than doubled the chances of Trump’s presidency ending in 2018. The odds of Trump being impeached slightly tightened, from 2/1 to 6/4, as did the odds of Trump leaving before his first term ends in 2020, from 6/4 to 5/4."

seems to me if they used thicker plate and stronger pins the zigzag links would be up to the job without needing additional friction, although the device may then be prohibitively heavy to lift

what i find hard is small diameter cuts , with everything wobbling about, or snapping, maybe i need to get in the big trees where you can lop a decent diameter off without it noticing
-
Sorry i was trying to be humourous, i meant a pulley pruner that could swing round and cut at 90 to the pole, if one existed it would mean you could shorten the branch your stood on.
-
something with a lopper head movable through 90 degrees that doesn't need a hydraulic hose to power it, or just be happy with internodal cuts

Don't forget Jews and blacks Didnt think the jews were noteworthy theives, unless you count the extortionate interest rates they charged as money lenders

I'm no expert - but a road I work in has a big line of copper beech that were pollarded at about the size of yours, possibly bigger and the regrowth is now 4 to 6 inch diameter. Historically beech pollards were common, probably to get firewood. If you did it at Christmas as a kill or cure, you may end up with something you can take back to pollard knuckles at major forks by the top of the trunk every 3 years or so, and clear the trunk to suit your taste. Definitely try to initiate a pollard before a fell, such a beautiful colour. If it was pollarded it may be possible to trim the regrowth after 3 to 5 years as a lollipop shaped beech hedge one tree long, annual trim

some cu££ drove along the beach, why not leave it in the car park and walk
-
maybe I am then - I'd love 390bhp at my disposal - towing up hills would be a breeze
-
supercharged Range Rovers hard to beat for £/hp - this one makes 390bhp and a snip at £7.5k. Get the gas axe out and hey presto a tax efficient off road pick up

compared to the width of a timberwolf 150VTR with removable hopper off from the blurb 'This machine is perfect for access on restricted access contracts and can even pass through a standard 700mm doorway. The features and benefits of the TW150 VTR include: Variable width tracks for easy access through narrow openings (quick remove funnel, tracks move in to 700mm) Reliable Kubota 4 cyl. Diesel engine'

Climbing dead trees ? Any bad stories??
tree-fancier123 replied to essexjack's topic in General chat
also waiting to hear, sounds dicey on a calm day, let alone if the winds getting up. I suppose the only bonus of dismantling a dead tree is reduced windsail -
FB just passed his tree tickets and has panel van and thriving fencing Boy racer fanny magnet - nah - a good tipper truck. Out of all the people doing treework, not many will mess about with trailers. Sometimes with the tipper you can get in a driveway where reversing a trailer, even with front tow bar, would just be a pain. If you get a big tree job and groundie on the insurance, one takes panel van with gear in plus trailer for timber and other takes tipper truck and tow behind chipper circa £8k on a used tipper, and £8k on a used tow behind. Until you can pay cash for a nice detached house with a duck pond metal objects are just that

Trimmed this walnut - was struggling to shape it, all growth on the tips and branches snapping with hardly any weight on them. If in doubt sob it out

this quote from the Times about Corbyns latest 'Launching a “Build it in Britain” campaign in Birmingham at EEF, the manufacturers’ organisation, he criticised Theresa May for allowing billions of pounds’ worth of work on passports, ships and health supplies to go abroad.' Corbyn would allow the country to become even more debt ridden and overcrowded with immigrants on compassionate grounds, but he does have a point - the tories have outsourced a whole host of stuff abroad, just terrible short sighted accounting. A good way of getting a decent politician would be IVF, if all leaders agree to have eggs and sperm frozen - how about a Stalin/Thatcher embryo, bound to get people working. State run farms and shipbuilding - get the claimants in there for a minimum 20 hours a week or let them starve. Housing benefit scrapped - dormitories only. No that's not fair

they are there, be careful on that tree - its being eaten alive

Saplings (??) going berserk in drought
