    The local used pickup sale place swaps out the engine for a 2.7 it save the warranty hassle he told me. Not sure how it'd work with insurance

    That's a good idea. I've seen a lot of long poles but getting them back is the problem

    Can't believe this thread slipped under my radar. Now I'm going to keep an eye on it. I'm looking to get set up with traditional wood working kit. I've got metal in the garage that need making into a draw knife and froe. Once that's done I can set to making a shave horse and bits for the pole lathe. I keep eyeing up 'poles'. Can I ask what length you use?

    I believe you need a few buds to become roots and enough wood to hold the sugars/starches required for the buds to root.

    Try the company I work at. The robocut will eat most of it and one of us can whip out the bigger ones with a saw

    Big fells. Especially if you put a stick in the ground where the tip will land and it does in front of the assembled crowd

    Not being daft but for the cost surely it's better to do the license and then you know your safe and you can get a bigger chipper which is more effective pulls side branches though without sneding and cope better with hawthorn etc My local provider charge £294 for 4hour block including test £659 for 4 sessions and test I did the £294 as I already tow which breaks down to (over a year) about £1.30 a day. The 4 session course is only £2.92 a day. I bet a lot of members spend more than that on coffee/energy drinks/McDonald's

    I used to use one the same as the bottom one. The claw on top is good for levering after cutting most the way though. I think it's called a fencing axe

    Makes me think of the quote "train your staff well enough so they can leave, treat them well enough they want to stay" or something along them lines

    Here's a review from the company I work at. It's got a vid of the saw being used on around 10" oak. After felling the oak with a petrol saw I broke down the crown with the battery saw. It did well and started to log it up from the thin end must have got almost 1/3 the way along the stem. http://gclm.co.uk/cordless-arborist-chainsaw-msa-160-t-review/
