Looks mechanical damage to me, disease wouldn't have healed like that, also you have straight-peeled bark left on one injury, it's either squirrel, a 360, or some heavy object used to bash it Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Surprisingly I found out not! Quite an oversight there! And one of my grease guns is gunked up now! The actual grease is fine, it just doesn't work in the gun! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App -
I use either bearing grease, brushcutter gear grease or red lithium grease (the kind you get in a grease gun) anything heat resistant really Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

What shall I do with this oak?
Eddy_t replied to Woodworks's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Looking at it again, I would make a suggestion that you could remove one branch, it appears to travel horizontally into the field, as it appears to have no growth further in, it may either pull the tree, or fail due to a weighted end, and trim any stubs up, nobody likes a stubbly tree, doesn't look nice! Want a natural look, if you wanna leave em, have a go at coronet cutting, nice habitaty stuff! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App -
Spud, are all the 200t's you work on named? Or have you took to writing names on them? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

I would assume they're the tiny cream coloured fungi that look more like scales than big plates, like many of the small polypores do, I won't try to guess the species, but have seen similar in many willows, it taints the wood brown, and makes it spongy, where it is also will compromise the structural support of that limb, it looks about 50% coverage, with a high concentration of fruiting bodies, were the concentration lower, I would have told you to retain it, but keep watch, but that volume of fungi usually compromises the branch IME Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Take it off, it will most likely fail, we had loads of limbs fall off healthier trees last year, the wood is shockingly weak, and the bark tear damage is stupid! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

The 365 will be fine for what you want, a 555 is a bit smaller, which would also be fine for what you want Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

So what you're saying is you use it! It's just not economically viable for your main work, but tbf at £4 a litre, it never would be, unless your consumption was lower, it is a pity the price is what it is, I think more people would buy the product and more dealers supply it if it could be reduced to £1-1.50 a litre more than pump fuel, even with the additional cost of 2stroke oil, aspen fuel is still £2 more than pump fuel, and at that price, even though I use it personally, I couldn't convert my employers to aspen, could aspen not try to refine in uk to lower costs?

Chogging saw, weighs a ton, you'd be better getting a 560 or a 372 if your gonna be felling every day, but fine for logging Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

How much can you fell without a license?
Eddy_t replied to mr_magicfingers's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
No, you still need a felling licence, unless it is a domestic location (garden), then no licence is needed, but the area will be registered as woodland Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App -
First day out of using the new 560, it eats the wood, I'm flicking through birch trees, saw seems a bit kick-happy, but that might be the way I use saws! One tree to go! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
