Incidently the big torn out piece is still there , if anyone wants it i can negotiate with the owner

I've got t&c's of a contract climber here and he charges 100% of day rate if cancelled less than 24hrs and 50% if more than 24hrs but less than 48 . No charge if over 48hrs .

No . The owner will use it for firewood to heat his mansion but this a poor outcome really . I just dont know enough people at the moment to pass this kind of opportunity on . I've had plum and some stunning gean wood recently again which just went for firewood , a complete travisty . I was speaking to my colleague today about getting some better contacts to move this stuff on because its becoming a sin .

This oak was just on the other side of the fence to the recent failed Beech that you commented on . The area took a big battering . There was a decent cavity at the bowl but had grown compensatory wood and was healthy i'm afraid to say . The tree LOOKED dangerous with the lean and the big splits in the crown which was enough reason to fell . PS .. I had no pleasure at all in taking this out

You'll pay that for delivery one way !!

Nice torn out oak with big lean . Result of gales a few weeks ago

Would seem sensible to do that with such a small ally pulley but how many people on here actually do that i wonder ??
-
TBH i do like the look of the rope guide over the pulley saver . Looks stronger engineered . Cant get my head round a little ally pulley coming crashing down out of a canopy and remaining sound , hence why i thought the roka might be better despite the obvious friction loss . Its getting sent back anyway my order has been totally mucked up
-
I absolutely love mine and i've never ever felt that towards any saw in the past . It is so light and fast , right up my street . Just hope today is a minor blip i would really hate to get problems with this saw .
-
Yeh , i never did this burying it in wood for 3-5 continues minutes thing and no problems at all with the auto-tune.

Cant believe this looks like my chainbrake has gone today

This series started off poor and has deteriorated rapidly . Hands up who was worried when Pablo the expert came in ? Final straw for me was as said above putting spikes on to fell from the ground , confusing . There were trees going all over the shop . -
I'm going back to the misfit forum to talk Beagles Will exchange it for the pulley saver i think !! Thanks chaps
-
Impulse buyer .. I'll run it by you first Alex in future .

Hi Chris , i wasnt trying to be a smart arse there , ive no doubt you work to industry best practise. i'm just trying to say how subjective this may be . NO MORE than 15% volume for crown thinning . I disagree that you stick to that religiously as a tree surgeon ... i dont .. Do you know what that looks like cut on the ground ? It would surprise you how little it looks . Do the course if you can would be my shout . I did my training with Eastec in Norfolk , great value for money and top tutors imo.
-
:lol: great sense of humour arbo !!
-
I did 40 and 41 plus assessment recently for £465 . Matter of honour for me ...some may differ . Do you know industry best practise for thinning and reductions ? What does this equate to volume wise cut on the ground ?
