  1. I hoped that were the case otherwise id be thinking how on earth is mother nature shrinking a mature oak as its growing
  2. geeze I feel old hearing that, im 26 and climb on prussic still.
  3. I heard him say that so I suppose you mean if the whole stem is decaying as in a dead tree, not a tree with the ingress of decay into the heartwood with healthy sapwood as surely the girth of the outer sapwood wouldn't change?
  4. Just watched a chap measuring the girth of an ancient sweet chestnut. He stated that the trees girth had increased 10 cm in 10 years but also stated that the girth of ancient trees can often reduce in size over the years?! Personally never heard of this so has anyone else know of the girth of a tree trunk reducing over years?
  5. brill, thanks for that will have a look for them now
  6. hi all, im after a chain brake/sprocket side cover for a 262xp I own. Ive looked high & low and thought I found one on ebay from the States however its arrived and doesn't fit although its clearly advertised for a 262xp.:cursing: any ideas where I may find one bar our local dealer who I don't like using unless a last resort!
  7. Adlington Hall? The Hunting Lodge? I always dream of super barn dry wood like that every time I drive past
  8. when we built our chip boxes we were going to go high for stacking in hedge cuttings etc, but then thought against it as we would end up filling it to the top with chip and then something would snap.lol Ps u must be a tall chap to reach them ladders without needing a set to reach them.
  9. jeeze get some chip in that meode, its like a block of flats! good job on the fab
  10. bandit hb19 is the best "small" machine around, as mentioned above you can tackle most sized stumps with relative ease and the hydraulic drive takes the maul out of pushing it around! relatively cheap maintenance costs, bearings and belts economical when time comes to replace, with cheaper finger teeth. Also only 33" wide, will go comfortably through m ost domestic accesses
  11. it is pal, we have to do bits of tree work occasionally on his land along the river banks.
  12. definatly is a big pointy thumb maybe a false widow? did it have a white skull on its markings on its back?

  15. I just whip up a quick sketch on power point ,marking trees as circles, buildings as rectangles and walls/boundaries as lines. Then simply block fill the affected trees and do a key. Done this several times and had no quibbles with TO etc.
