I bought one of those Mick - but turns out the RC 2001 works just fine at 20m above ground level - so the AFB went back unused

Was sent this link earlier this week https://www.sudouest.fr/2018/11/16/landes-condamne-pour-avoir-abattu-un-chene-multicentenaire-il-devra-debourser-95-000-euros-5572398-3564.php?fbclid=IwAR2WxSSmy_ucRHrfAL-OWJa6rkuBYVX91y0can50pMZ3UDBXjfUjU-aXxKg google will translate the page if you like €95,000 fine

150 too heavy - had to get an Echo 2511 ?
-
What rope works good with this set up? And what length? I'm about 10 stone and struggled to get it to descend smoothly.. well at all..

Carve a v large fruit bowl?

Spruce looses its needles quite (very) quickly. I tried a spruce top one year and bought a nordman a week later.
-
it's so dinky I can't help treating it like an ornament
-
Will a new Echo 2511TES need any kind of running in from brand new? Also what exhaust modifications are useful for a bit of extra parp?
-
Can anyone recommend a heavy duty jockey wheel with a wider tyre than normal - possibly pneumatic? To help when winching a 750kg chipper in, around and out of gardens and reduce digging in to soft ground.

Hanging a pair of 2m 5-bar larch gates on green oak 9x9 posts tomorrow. What size bit do I need to pre drill the holes with for the 10x70mm hinge hanger wood bolts? Any other gate hanging tips as well..
-
Some people get to work in all the nice gardens?
-
Aye, could be the ST BG 86 C-E "Ultimate power meets ultimate simplicity. Comes with both flat and round nozzles for better versatility on the job." -
Cheers. Here's another photo. Not good prognosis for these trees then.

Any ideas what these are? Found at the base of two separate and very healthy looking oaks. In France.

Working for the Commission for the first time

Aye, it was forestry work but we were climbing - a bit of a grey area I guess -
For me the really is the key in all of this, and try to remind myself to climb each tree with this thought in mind. I just don't see it panning out well no matter how fast my second climber is. I'd rather put my faith into reducing the chances of serious injury occurring than worrying that each of us is highly proficient in rescue. Every so often I catch myself getting lax - a bit like driving when tired - and give myself a wake up slap.

Think Petal Vertex are good for 10 years from date of manufacture - I only know because I looked it up the day before we started on a FC site. -

Decent signage, chainsaw protective gloves and yes make sure your helmets in date. -
the stinger ?

You don't work for GM do you? ?
-
Yup both GM and Forst service guys have been pretty great on the phone in the past. And you're right, you do get 250kg less chipper with the Quadchip - which I guess is both good and bad. I would love a chipper that doesn't have a reputation for breaking frequently and also that I can maintain/repair independently when it does..
-
Why would a Greenmech Quadchip/626hrs be worth £6,250 when a Forst ST6/887hrs is £9,750 - 56% more. Looking for input as I have only used Forst TR6 and not the Quadchip.
-
Yes, sorry, and Brighton too ?

It's in France. But there are still quite a few big elms in Scotland...
