    what about it being autumn and the fungal spores being released? I know trees have to be cut when people have time, but is there much evidence that trees have a greater incidence of infection by pathogenic fungi after heavy pruning works in autumn as opposed to mid/ late winter (or late summer even) ? For this tree I can see its seen better days so maybe some pathogens are already at work

    i got a 12ft one from Henchman - worth having 3 legs adjustable. Had about 6 years out of it. I wouldn't bother with a smaller one and the 16ft wont go in my van https://www.henchman.co.uk/products/platform-tripod-ladders/platformtripod-ladders-3-adjustable-legs.html the 12ft ladder and a hedgetrimmer head on a ht131 polesaw is most of the way to 10m, haven't gone over yet from the top step, but there's always next time

    in the last war we were being bombed from the air and came very close to being invaded, it needed our men to become a bit red in tooth and claw 'Sie fragen weiter wann wir kommen. WIR KOMMEN!'

    Thats not good enough - the country needed them to be willing to kill

    I dont know if Id have had the courage to tackle him bare handed, every chance I would have scampered off to join the other cowards in the land of the living. But Im pretty sure my old instructor could have taken him out bare handed - the only hard man Ive met, dont usually mix with ruffians

    I remember my old karate instructor saying if youre being attacked a good way to stop them is try to poke your fingers in their eyes - all is fair in love and war

    He was no more cowardly than all the wartime concientious objectors, cant beleive they let them get away with it. So whats the best way to tackle someone with a rambo knife if there really is no weapon in reach? In my karate days the instructor could have probably snapped his neck, abut a normal civvy will likely die. They could have written off the already stabbed cop as collateral damage and rammed the pair with the car, but i guess the occupants were thinking 'there are armed officers here who will be on the scence hopefully in a few seconds' and there were. If fatty had proved his worth and had a go hed have bled out i reckon. A brave move would have been all in the car to rush the slim, boss had assistant too that together could possibly have overwhelmed rambo slim

    If youve got 13 acres you must be comfotably well off, better than me anyway, dont scrimp on saws, get a Stihl 261and a husky 395 on a 28 inch bar. £1500 the pair and youre sorted for life, apart from consumables. One saw for all not favourite, hobby saw keep for the memories. Ive only got the 441 and while it will double cut most of the thickest trunks, Im gonna get a 395 for the occaisional big tree i get, 930 quid sat in the shed, but no m tronic to mess up, so it should see me out. Be safe on the kickback and barbers chair death traps; have your blood pressure checked regular too.

    bound to be shot down in flames - but will guess it's ganoderma applanatum, not willow bracket this time

    It should be more difficult - I thought a consultant had to know a lot of stuff - things that take years, not weeks to learn

    so good it seems like a fake, he'd have made a good barman in the old days before digital cash registers

    Tomorrow perhaps

    maybe the chainsaw operative is thinking this way too now

    So 200kg extra , I guess the only difference is bigger engine and uprated springs, both handy. I like my 35c14, but did notice at the time some nice low mileage heavier Daleys with the big engine for less money, if what Donk says is true youll need a bigger trailer to fill up

    You must have read more posts than me I thought he Just got a website redone so people phone him to deal with woody plants. As for the crim - i almost did a spell for nicking pound coins, but boss didnt report it - evil surrounds us Eggs is like a tyre fitter on the chefs forums, telling them to charge more than the kitchen porters, ok if the restaurant has a Michelin star

    I would ask about his thoughts on the environmental impact of population growth

    BigtreeDon and Rough Hewn have both posted pics of chainsaw powerheads kept in their homes. I sometimes use my hallway. Wish I had a bigger place - a downstairs spare room would be great for secure storage

    the neatness of cut doesn't matter - as long as they got paid and nothing damaged bet quite a few multi-trade have been injured/killed felling leaners here's one example - https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/face/pdfs/12mi033.pdf

    the throw hook - is it any better than others - available to buy?
  22. tree-fancier123
    so someone came up with a tether using two magnets, looking at the review it's been out before my post on the idea, so I haven't had a new idea :c https://www.treestuff.com/store/catalog.asp?category_id=21&item=17226#detail
  23. tree-fancier123
    at about 10 minutes in the linked vid another type of throwhook being used, possibly stays on the branch more often than your one https://arbtalk.co.uk/forums/topic/112263-taz-lov-2/

    laughing all the time?

    Don't know what it weighed but don't reckon it was anywhere near 2 ton! 26'' x 8' 6'' larch felled 3 years ago, anyone care to guess? under a ton, sorry not a guess in the truest sense of the word http://www.woodweb.com/cgi-bin/calculators/calc.pl
