That's naughty putting words into my post. I wouldn't say such things about a virtual marra
-
They're just for show, Stubby's retired ?
-
Yes my 4kVA welding genset will only start my 2hp compressor if the air reservoir is empty. Do the engine run air brake compressors put out enough air?
-
The loader mount doesn't look too clever with so much mass behind the back axle. I was asking £7500 for mine with Moheda 9 tonne trailer but the only buyer wanted to haggle so I kept it. I've nearly repaired the loader on my 1124 which has the pukka Highland bear cab and 4510 loader, once that is done I may sell the 1164 and loader.

Pretty much spot on with those points. On good ground with a long extraction I would fill a couple of artic flat trailers a day where a purpose built forwarder would struggle with the distance. Poor ground and high stumps were a different matter. The big advantage was not having low loader costs between sites which meant small jobs were economic. I'd be interested in what money was being asked for the one posted, it looks like it has been tarted up for sale.

Are those 12 x 38 tyres? If so they will be overloaded with the grapple loader even at their maximum pressure unless they have an unusual ply rating. 14 x 34 would be alright.

Preferably not

I found my tape repair stuff and there was an unused tape refill as well as a working Stihl and Lufkin tape plus the rivets were spilled in the bottom of the drawer. I'd be happy to loan it out if anyone wanted to try their luck at a repair
-
we used to break quite a few so when a local chainsaw dealer closed about 25 years ago I bought their tape riveter and a number of plastic tape ends and rivets. I still have it somewhere.

Fairy nuff and it's your old stomping ground

I agreed with all you said up till this point. A full arb report will cost in the same ball park as a fell and remove to ground level and is a luxury I'd reserve for trees with great amenity value. This one has structural problems, the roots are damaging the sidewalk and wall plus it is a tall vigorous tree that is getting too large for a small front garden. Plus it is a turkey oak ?

A day's abstention was always good enough for me for my network rail related urine test, never did a blood one. If it's for liver function I'd say not likely as a lady friend had to be off alcohol for a month to pass that. Too late to worry now.

My guess is spindleshank

When my kids were little I stuck luminous stars and planets on the ceiling, if it was a dull day I would use a remote thyristor flash from a 35mm camera to charge them instantly
-
How has it progressed in the last 4 years? A full height tree with targets

Cost to install root barriers

Hell I'm not that far gone yet! -

How I wish I could share a shower with a girlfriend again ? -
Yes it's not an imminent hazard and there are plenty enough arb firms around Elmbridge to give competitive quotes, I was working there last week in the rain.
-
I actually agree with ALL your points
-
Yes and a big, vigorous tree for an urban street plus it's turkey oak which always militates against retention in my book. The disease issue is a try on.
-
Only some and how do you define basically good? Looking from the outside it seems there has been little attempt to assimilate "britishness" and the youths involved see themselves as colonising a territory and needing to displace the natives to do so, cowboys and indians.
-
So two of them will potentially be out very soon?
-
I get the impression the evidence wasn't good enough to prosecute or identify the whole mob involved. If the prosecution took 2 years were the 3 on remand all that time?

Another large oak stem "whats it worth" question
openspaceman replied to farmerjohn's topic in Milling Forum
About 150Hft then, 5.5m3, what's the firewood price by you? -
We have a few sites where it grows wild, a notable one being the Sheepleas above West Horsley, normally a good display at this time of year.
