I agree, no mention how he performed or the quality of his work for the other 2.5 days. I can remember having a bad day one scorching afternoon and i actually had to leave sight and dive into the nearest tescos to cool off. If his attitude was off fair enough , your not looking for a hero remember just a good honest working lad.

Think your right. For anyone wanting to feel ' atmosphere ' its being alone in a very remote woodland.

Reminds me of something out of a childrens storybook. If trees could talk ehh! Beautiful.

Think were looking at great grandads here!! Sure a tree monkey will i.d it for you

Seems like good logic to me husky

Could be husky as in ' musher ', its the best way to get about up there in winter.
-
Seconded.

Before you decide check out your local dealers and see who you think will provide a good service ... Very important as customer service varies enormously.

Now thats more like it

Yeah the farthest north i had seen on the avatars seemed to be Inverness . Alot of people dont put their location in ( perfectly entitled ) but thought there must be people albeit not many further up than that surely. Would be interesting to find out how the arb work fares in quite bleak places.

Pulling ivy off and paperwork!!!!!!!!! Come on lads what sort of an impression are we giving out here! We'll have the fungi geeks and sawmillers laughing at us

I have terrible trouble with the little buggers, they ate the little fuel bubble on my brand new stihl pole saw , they chewed the padding on my horse harness for bedding and lots more. I did as you did and put a little industrial grease on my kit and its been ok. The guy i was working for today says they ate through the plastic fuel tank filler on his disco and it cost him £500 for a second hand replacement( whole tank). Ironically the one he got also had chew marks and was told by the supplier that its very common.

You'll not believe this thats my next job!!

I removed half a dozen small stumps today with pick and adze and i reckon it must be one of the toughest tasks i've done though quite enjoyed the challenge. What do you guys reckon the toughest arb job is ( doesn't have to be strictly tree related ). ???

Got a chap on the door last winter by a well dressed woman who put her 110 down a big ditch right outside my house. when i went out to view it was almost lying on its side and that is no exaggeration. I asked her if she had tried reversing it out the way she went in, i felt it a bit of a stupid question as it was in a horrendous position. The answer was no, so i got in put in low and astonishingly out it came. I've been driving 4x4's for over 2 decades and i'm telling you no other vehicle could have done that. That incident decided it for me.

A thread the other day about trees growing in the far north got me wondering who stands above us all on the map and how they eek out a living?

I would leave at telegragh pole height roughly. The only species you will get really are tawny owls and the odd buzzard or two. The buzzards outside my house hunt from them succesfully everyday , day in day out. I think this would be a good height for the tawnies aswell to pick up the light and sound waves from the underground.

Chris I dont think livery yards would take it as it is of no use for bedding ( shavings yes ). Livery clients could use it to dry horses legs in winter but the sawdust would have to be dry.

Only time will tell

Certainly nothing wrong with heating in my 90 Def. Although I've noticed the hot air still blows a bit on your left thigh even when switched to window only.
-
You make good points here, one of the first things I'll be doing is lining the rear side panels . I've not experienced it yet but it must be like a block of ice in winter.

Memorable day for me was going wild swimming one very hot afternoon we got finished early. Very special place it was too.
