  1. I’d be more worried about ‘bungalow knee’
  2. Big timber, big saws, big wheels and big beautiful dog, what’s not t like, ace[emoji106]
  3. Cs32 is not just about the fell but also the breaking down of large crowns once it’s on the ground, I’ve seen some inexperienced operatives make a right lash up of doin it, though like most of these things it about common sense and training, for many, is a great help. A 560/562 or equivalent with 18” is plenty big enough for most jobs but 576 or suchlike with 24” if you want go bigger
  4. Yep I’ve had a pair of the plastic shaft for about 4years n still goin strong, they do pop out of the wedge occasionally tho
  5. Love the fairy house, I’ve only bored biggish stumps for planters and found it fairly tedious! Forgot I’d posted on this thread and have now milled the cedar, I did board at 3”: Lad workin wi me made some seating while I milled:
  6. I have two, one for lowering kit and one for climbing line etc, the open front pouch which is stitched into handle straps fell apart after couple of months the others been fine for years
  7. Wasn’t questioning it being sawfly just what sort as distribution for the former seemed to b north America the latter uk
  8. Looked em up but shows their distribution as USA? But Craesus septentrionalis native here? I’m no expert!
  9. Had them on couple of young hazels a few years ago, they were voracious but the birds did for em I think, quite interesting how they all froze in unison as an a shape when you touched the branch. Can they b a problem?
  10. Maybe you have but ya didn’t know it
  11. Think I’d better do that![emoji3]
  12. I need stuff in front of me to remember so direct debit tax n no disc means I keep forgetting until I get letter from DVLA saying test it or we stop taxing it?
  13. Yep lump hammer, asked if flywheel bent but he didn’t think so tho they were stripping it when I walked in to ruin their day with a panicked “please mot cabstar NOW as it ran out in January”[emoji33][emoji849]
  14. Not mine, but went to my engineer this morning n he had this Timberwolf in from hire company: The offending item:
  15. But this did make me chuckle, poor old Frank! Micky Mack is always to blame and never on site when you want to see him if you have the minerals to turn up n complain about something![emoji849]
  16. Like eggs n gobby I’ve lived on sites,in fact our place was a big illegal camp for several years , 3 decades ago, on which my missus n I resided. There was every conceivable type on there: anarcho-punks, New Age travellers, tramps, Romany, Irish travellers, Scottish travellers and families/individuals who were just itinerant workers or who just didn’t want to live, what they felt was, a lifestyle forced on them or they’d been forced out of. I’ve met good n bad of most types same as in ‘gorgia street’ and the tongue in cheek op is sometimes not that far from the truth as having an illegal camp is a green light for your local and/or opportunist thief as the finger is immediately pointed at the site. I always try to be unprejudiced about any religion/minority but I have found Irish travellers to be a feckin nightmare bunch who have no respect for ANYONE outside their community/family
  17. I tugged my todger to pics of Agatha, a lot, when 11! Never really was a fan of their songs though
  18. Like most of the above I’ve had both, transits for 20 odd years ( including 2 4x4 ones ) and I’ve always had a soft spot for em in spite o rust problems. Now hav 2 cabstars and apart from bein shit off hard surfaces they are great load carriers and towing, I regularly have 2 cube of logs on tipper n 3.5 on trailer. Sadly need to sell one but it not tipper but flatbed with 015 Hiab on
  19. I remember new model army, and gettin trampled by clog wearin goths at a couple of their gigs!
  20. Madness why? Was it felled cos of phytopthora, just interested if this affects price of chip wood?
  21. I have a 560 and a 562, I much prefer to run the 560 on a 15” with .325, I have run it on 3/8 in 18” but found it bogged down a bit, the 562 has 3/8 on 16” and is a completely different beast, love em both[emoji16]
  22. I’d still go with Skyhucks advice as if works are planned to reduce leverage and balance crowns there appears to be an ongoing plan for management of the trees therefore the likeliness of some sort of continuing monitoring? Even though ifs ‘only’ a grey poplar it seems a tad extreme to completely remove what looks like a reasonably healthy tree The darkening of the heartwood, although an early stage of decay, doesn’t mean its likely to fail anytime soon particularly if the rest of the tree is being reduced. Just my opinion.
  23. Looks nothing like a juvenile jay imo
