looking at the decayed state of the trunk, i wudnt be worried about a barber chair,more worried about finding sound wood in there for your hinge!! Bull rope fairly high up round somthing sturdy,to a good vehicle. as mentioned above,ratchet strap the trunk to give it some integrity,choose your felling height carfully as it looks like a field tree,so possibility of plenty of stock netting snarled up in the cambium,last thing you want on a sketchy fell is to **** some wire on your back cut.

we do alot of mowing,both pedestrian and tractor. we go out at £17.00/hr/man for pedestrian mowing/flailing that includes fuel/waste etc the tractor goes out at £30.00/hr and the tractor jobs are mown fortnightly and we strim/edge these once a month unless customer dictates otherwise. we have a kubota st30 with a teagle 6ft finishing rotary mower. hope these figures are of use and maybe you can use them to hit a midpoint price for their ride on/you combination.

if your wood goes into the tunnel dry ie,not rained upon or covered in snow then split,you will have no trouble with mouldy damp logs. we dry all our wood in a polly tunnel,has vented mesh to 1.2m off the ground,sat on road planings. we have no doors and the wind blows a steady warm draught through during summer,couple of months and is bone dry.

Whinchs fitted on timberwolf chippers
[email protected] replied to Capstankid!'s topic in Large equipment
we thought of putting one on our tow behind 150 for the sole purpose of manouvering the chipper around gardens / light recovery of the machine but not heavy pulling purposes.mounting it near the battery box and securly bracing it to the chassis rails behind the jockey wheel.as stated it would only be for moving the machine itself and not for mauling stuff,as yet to design it tho -
tuned in

good saw loadsa power although ours has a small problem now and then with the idle speed,sometimes get a wee bit of chain creep,also when cutting rings accross grain (stringy shavings) if you get any shavings at all awround the drive sprocket,it stalls outright,not sure y? the only saw i own that does this and the only saw with AT. other than than a good saw,but never as good as a 372xp

Do these power lines need turning off?
[email protected] replied to Al Cormack's topic in General chat
just to veer off topic yet again,i have been to quote for the removal of 3xsycamores today and they run in a line along a road.turns out the end tree nearest the hv cables belongs to highways and not the client,so that rules that out for us,however the other 2 still require removing.The two trees have no limbs going towards the hv lines,and are a pole and a half away from the lines.theres a telephone cable but cant see that posing a risk as it isnt tagged onto the electric pole,and does not run directly near the hv cables. should i have these lines killed/isolating prior to the removal works,or are they far enough away not to pose an immediate effect,theres nothing growing toward the lines,nor is there anything that could make contact to the cables when dismantling. please see sketch below and air your veiws.i do not hold ua tickets only know about them through a ladd who climbs for LEC and climbs part time for us. -

[email protected] replied to Al Cormack's topic in General chat
they will clear the lines free of charge but wudnt do that tree until it grows into the lines/transformer area,as its only in the proximity zone,but would gladly come isolate them for the tree work to be done safely without gory death splattered on the termination pole -
save all the expense and do say 15-30metres of laying then sort your stumps,then lay some more then do stumps.little and often would deffo save your arms.lol
