  1. how many farms do you know whow promote their woodlands and hedgerows? without subsidies
  2. 1. buy container (chinese peoples republic or PRC) full of 9v wood moisture detectors.the ones that only read 17%. these were available 10yrs ago. 2.most log buyers do know the difference between seasoned wood. 3..what idiot burns green wood anyway? 4.after paying the costs/fees associated with the government laws mebe we could raise the cost of logs per load so it is worth doing finally.. i bust a gut working coppice in decent hardwood woodlands between tree surgery with no help like farmers recieve yet we are guardians of the countryside and actively promote regeneration,unlike the arable/dairy/meat industry with all the chemical and diesel fuel involved...thats my rant over..g'day
  3. The first few bosses i had were really quite aggresive characters and almost put me off arboriculture for good...one of them used to argue so much with his son they would have loud shouting fits in customers gardens!! he walked onto a swimming pool cover carrying his work notepad..years of notes on customers gone in seconds..
  4. One of my first bosses(norfolk) used to smoke superkings like they were going out of fashion,he was stick thin and aged around 50 but boy he could climb..others climbing on 5 ply rope with stihl 020 AV saws wearing jeans..i got caught reading one 70 yr old irish boss's new daily newspaper before he had read it and he nearly sacked me..that guy actually pulled my rope into a tree as i was descending and i whacked my foot so hard against the trunk i ended up limping to A&E..there are other old school boss's who i seem to respect more as time goes on and even have fond memories!!..seeing as the recent flock of millenials seem so shy of hard work.
  5. i believe the husqvarna 550xp auto tune is exceptional..can be awkward to start when hot,but its never missed a beat in 3 yrs hard use..? i look forward to using the new stihl fuel injected saw.
  6. Young trees planted with a rootball need a 2 yr watering plan..roughly twice weekly watered here in the uk..thats our summers..You have come to the right conclusion..Non native will always struggle despite watering..MG

  9. Hi guys, Client has just given me his newish looking '4 stroke' Honda hedge trimmer to look at,as it conks out quite regularly when turned on either side I am totally unfamiliar with this new 4 stroke tech.:-) Is it really a small 4 stroke engine? Does anyone know if these new Honda machines have issues as I had to take a look at a Honda strimmer which also had issues.the build quality seems quite low. Cheers Hazelnut in kent

  13. hi i have just purchased an old 066 with plenty of grunt but it seems to destroy the plastic roll cage bearing in the clutch/brake drum which are made out of plastic ! and after reving the saw up it always blitzs them.are they all made from plastic now.maybe i shouldnt put red grease on them when they are new. i have a original part being sent to my local dealer but some of their staff agree it will be a plastic cage with metal rollers.it seems to fit nicely but the old 066 screams through timber.any ideas how i could stop this problem..cheer ,matt hazelnut tree care east kent
