Wow. Nicely escaped. Tools down...time for a pint ha ha glad your ok

Very funny

Nice one. Cheers for the exercise suggestions. Need to get rid of the Christmas lard!

Looking at getting one of these. Battery life seems good then. Must be useful to communicate effectively with groundies? Also able to start a job earlier due to the lack of noise? An early start means an early finish...usually

If it's for a big company why can they not offer payment for a professionals time - time is money ;-)

I'd advise him to go on an 'occassional chainsaw users' course. That way the training you may offer doesn't conflict with the business of you felling for him. I would'nt want any grey areas having showed someone how to use a chainsaw. He would probably enjoy the course anyway

I'm going to check weight transferrence everytime always. That left a lump in the throat. Hope he's on the mend

Cheers everyone for your input - all good stuff. Your Rottweiler is cool!! Meeting with the TO soon - will follow up then for those interested. Cheers

Interesting pics MattyF but on a quick (initial inspection) we did the other day they look pretty healthy. Noted though, cheers

Thanks Paul, all good info. I was wondering whether removing all of them and re-planting may be an option. I'd certainly enjoy watching them grow year on year (haven't done anything on this scale before and would certainly leave my mark). They do look great but just too tall for the client/s at the moment.
