    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

    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
  13. tree-fancier123
    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'

    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

    that's some distance - wonder what the record is? Half a mile?

    excellent advice - the link below shows suitable centre bearing pattern parts at 40euro and genuine at an eye watering 140euro https://www.auto-ricambi.eu/propshaft-centre-bearings-iveco-daily-2006-c225/

    at the bottom of this page on the Iveco Daily Forums is supposed to be a link to a manual pdf, haven't tried downloading it, as mine is 2006. http://ivecoforums.com/topic/8938138/1/ I did download the Iveco workshop service manual for mine from that site and its has most jobs shown clearly parts I found some are cheaper to the UK from eastern europe, even with carriage. I used auto-recambi.eu edit, the link does work, screenshot below from pdf manual - you get bombarded with ads - can't say how much malware I've now hoovered up too, at your own risk

    I find searching arbtalk old threads much easier with google than the sites' own search a google search 'arbtalk tree disease books' for example yields dozens of results, reading these threads will generate a long list of books, some expensive Try Bob Watson, Trees - their use management cultivation and biology. It's cheap, comprehensive and also lists many of the books mentioned in arbtalk threads in the references section. It has one chapter ' Harmless, helpful and harmful biotic agencies of trees' an intro to pests and diseases. Many specialized books are mentioned in the previous threads e.g "manual of wood decay in trees" by K Weber and C Mattheck and Diagnosis Of Ill-Health In Trees 2nd Edition A similar google search 'arbtalk woodland management books'..... Unless it's an enquiry about a recently published or out of print book, most of the available books have been discussed many times before
