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'

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

your first post came out in code in my browser, something not right, can see photos in other threads

vegetation drying up in the heatwave, compared with back in May

One day the US president will be in silico , artificial intelligence. Let the computers decide - were staring at computer screens all the time anyway, so why not be ruled by one?

exaggeration - only a mere 22.3% when I checked the bill, we probably need the community centre done out in gold leaf - or the churches whatever can't complain too much - couldn't bear to live in complete anarchy, going back to caveman style in the news - posh totty fed up with 63 yr old Lord shagging around - so does his flat over with pigs blood and garden sprayer, draws penis etc

yes - have to admire your altruistic work there - every time my council tax bill comes in it has a huge increase in the parish council part of it 30ish% increase this year. I can't be bothered to get involved and have resigned myself to being robbed

lovely photo of acer saccharum

wow that is like a whole book. Thanks very much for sharing.

I wouldn't bin em - just stop drip feeding em A nice poem The Gift Outright By Robert Frost The land was ours before we were the land’s. She was our land more than a hundred years Before we were her people. She was ours In Massachusetts, in Virginia, But we were England’s, still colonials, Possessing what we still were unpossessed by, Possessed by what we now no more possessed. Something we were withholding made us weak Until we found out that it was ourselves We were withholding from our land of living, And forthwith found salvation in surrender. Such as we were we gave ourselves outright (The deed of gift was many deeds of war) To the land vaguely realizing westward, But still unstoried, artless, unenhanced, Such as she was, such as she would become.

What he said but if you start cutting all that lot down the saw will be the least of your worries

thanks for the heads up - looks good, just ordered off ebay £27.83, ordering books is the easy bit, I'd rather buy a data implant

if you buy a tape measure you won't have to do CS32 - just stick to trees under 380mm

looks like there were a lot of infected trees around London - found this post from 10 years ago of a tree David Humphries' team had to monolith to make safe - it looks like Jules is right, the OPs tree is not diseased, even though it looks in trouble https://arbtalk.co.uk/forums/topic/2156-sooty-bark-disease/
