Thats the problem, they've not been maintained from a young age and it will look like a hat rack to a cetain extent which i have told the client but he wants the space and light more than a nice looking tree which is fair enough. It is only a very small garden. I don't know what type they are, did not realise there are 2 types, i guess common.

Thanks for all your replys and opinions. I should have said previously that the tree is semi mature.

A customer has asked me to heavily reduce 2 hornbeam trees. Do you need to cut back to growth points or will it grow back from a knuckle or or a stub or will it die off? I ask this for both height and sides. Thanks in advance.

And dont forget its a reverse thread but usually has arrow to remind you

 
True, the single wheeled rears are a lot less forgiving on weight distribution. Overloaded 3.5 tonners are easy pickings for Vosa , they are hitting them hard at the moment. Lots more weighing strips going in on dual carriageways and motorways, they can nick you at the side of the road now instead of the long haul and time-consuming trip to a weighbridge.

I thought you would be inundated with offers! Good luck

Also part of an aircrafts wing . Just to be silly [emoji4]

Alot use Trust Insurance as a broker. They are pretty good and know what they are talking about when it comes to tree work.

Anybody got any ideas what this little lot may be although I wonder if it's the same
 
 

Yeah field maple, even from the way the saw marks are left in the wood.

Wow, this really suprises me, i would have thought they would be worth F all. Just goes to show, the amount of old saws I have binned over the years, mainly 254's, 257's, 550's, 560's and 200t's.

As has been said, depends on access. If access is good and it looks like it probably is, then £500 is fair

No problem I need to sort the bio out and ask on here another day ! Will also have this Jutul log burner but is a bit of a beast ! 

Its a good idea Mark, cos coffins are ludicrously expensive, not to mention the personal touch.

If that works, its brilliant

Hi if it was me I would Mill both as I do quite like field maple .

Doesn't look like there is any fm, still worth running the saw through to have a look.

Eventually got everything together and out with the newest machine to hit our fleet.
Made such light work of this beech which otherwise would have involved a lot of rigging over a crumbling wall and a bt line.

I found that insurance companys dis not want to insure my chipper because i kept it on my drive, they would only insure it if left in a locked compound.

I had the 6" gravely. Good lombardini engine but like Mattyf said, they do rattle themselves apart. I was forever welding the chute.

Agree with topchip, personaly i don't bother

Many years ago on my landy mewp i had g90 tyres (i think it was), i found them really good off road.

I've a feeling a little self praise is going on in your post.
 
Hope you're keeping well mate.

Bfg. Have always got more miles out of these than others.

Shit again aasggghhhhhrr!!!
