Thoughts on this sycamore please
[email protected] replied to Ackworth Arborists's topic in General chat
smaller branches will be younger growth in the scheme of things hence smoother bark than the trunks and main limbs -
I bet it was rather greasy up there!!

nice light tidy reduction there

Well pleased with the forst crew!

you wont be disappointed -
Have owned an st6 forst for 8months now and am well impressed with it! However my only niggle is that the roller box gets well and truly jammed up with brash and bits of chip, often wedging the feed rollers open. I know this happens on most chippers but the forst seems to compact the material so tight it can take 2 men an hour to remove this on a regular basis. So I gave the guys at Redwood Global a ring and was well impressed with their response. Apparently I wasn't the first to mention this so Forst have looked into the issue and "redesigned " the roller box making it harder for material to gather in this area, they are in their latter stages of testing this mod and once completed will fetch it up and retro fit FOC!! First time in a long long time where the dealer aftersales service is 1st class. 1st class product, 1st class service! WELL DONE FORST :thumbup:

The tree had been in decline for several years since development of the area, presumably root damage, over half the crown failed to leaf last year, TO revoked TPO, main stem fairly well decayed.

don't even like using ladders for access! only use them for hedge cutting. spikes for logging down, plus surely u have many up and down trips to keep adjusting height of ladders as you log down? seems a ballache!

had ours 6months now and cant fault it, do a fair bit of subbying and all the other lads rate it too!

Hello all, Ive got a 19ft long piece of oak, pretty dam straight and 4ft dia at each end. Im pretty sure its worth more for planking/beams than ringing it up for logs. I can load onto a hook loader if it makes it easier? Anyone on here wishing to buy it from me pleae get in touch. Andi

just giving my opinion from experience as I don't have an additional % kind of thing, I look at the job and price per job so say if its lay across a road at 11pm rainy winter night then its whatever I feel is reasonable to charge for that job never looked at job % if its unsociable hours etc. Didn't mean to offend, apologies

not really an emergency call out IMO, tree is sat at its furthest it can travel, roots still partially in ground. 3hrs work tops, just cut, nibble & chuck bit more care to identify any pressure limbs on the roofing ,once down to gutter height nice easy step down logging £400.00 with removal of waste, as mentioned above, no point nailing their hat on for that as its an easy £400.00 job for an arborist anyway, if your in with the company and they feed you regular work whats the point in cutting your nose off to spite your face?

stein loose their cutting edge a lot quicker than silkys, also lost all our silkys atm, so ms200t is far superior in every way as its also harder to loose if dropped.lol

The 4x4 was parked on the carpark at the top, used a sling to get me from the winch bumper over the wall then my cambium saver to make sure my rope didn't get pulled or braised on the gabions! Was a soaking wet day, there was no dust or floating muck
-
Once cut back we now have to maintain it like a hedge every few years, give it a good trim
-
Got instructed by engineers to cut back a 35ft high gabion wall that was covered in big ivy! The ivy was growing so thick and matted the weight of it was endangering splitting the gabion crates. Anyone else get these unusual jobs?

tracked post knockers vs tractor.
[email protected] replied to Matthew Storrs's topic in Large equipment
we have a mate with a converted tracked post knocker, brill piece of kit. Has a protech contractor mini knocker on it and goes a lot more places than a tractor mounted one. We had him on a wetland restoration job skidding timber with it back in Sep extremely LGP, you could track that across where you couldn't walk for sinking! -
has it got a CE number? After some of the S*** ive seen on ebay id be uber weary of putting my life on an ebay line. Bit different I know but we bought 2xtow wires rated @ 10 tonnes each off ebay, tried to tow a transit off a verge with a vitara, both snapped one after another! Been rather wary ever since PS looks like a recovery rope with that plastic eye insert PPS have you seen the other items the chap has for sale? looks like they have just emptied a Victorians spare room, the age of some of the stuff.look out for moth damage :w00t:

I was using long gaffs for abit, but found them unstable in hardwood as you tend to rock on the gaff and gaff out more. Also found them harder to climb on once dismantling in the crown around limbs as were difficult to dig in around stems and branch collars due to their length, were un comfy. On the plus side long gaffs are awesome in ivy covered trees as you can gaff through the ivy and get at least a small bit of them into the bark underneath! short spikes are better for general work IMO however long gaffs have advantages in soft deep bark and ivy

TBH ive never looked into nor used a jensen so wouldnt know the pricing,this little chipper performs like a 1928GM and better than a TW190 and its smaller spec!
