  1. Thanks for the responses. Will give Majestic a call tomorrow, had a look at their stocklist and they have a good range of full mature trees.
  2. Have a client who wants an instant garden for his ailing parents new home. He is not short of a bob or two and is looking for mature trees. He wants broadleaves with a full canopy not some scrawny stick. He will then get them craned into the garden. I have done some research with the local nurseries who were unable to help. Can anyone advise where in the UK (if anywhere)stocks and supplies large mature trees?
  3. Having issues with my 560xp. Have owned and run it for a good few years now. Has run pretty spot on the whole time. Run a 9tooth sprocket on 18" bar, full chisel. Was snedding out some big spruce on a site a while back and it started hunting for fuel and failing to hold its revs. Went to refuel and it still had half a tank. Fired up fine and then ran for a few minutes before the same issue and it cut out. So I replaced the filters and fuel line in case of a split. Haven't changed the breather line out the fuel tank. Replaced av mounts as they needed it and a clutch bearing. New air filter and back out cutting today. Ran fine felling and cross cutting but when trying to hold high revs and sned out branches on a monterey cypress it started to sound lean and then cut out. Would like some advice what to check next? thanks
  4. Dolmars that we run are powerful saws, great for cross cutting. They are noticeably wider in the body and slightly heavier than their equivalent huskies but reliability has been good thus far. The 7910 is a great medium/large saw.
  5. Laburnum the first thing that came to mind

    My new dog.

    Beinn Narnain and A'Chrois. The last shot is looking south east to Ben Lomond with the loch in the foreground.

    My new dog.

    Tcharka be her name. She was rescued to a sanctuary run by friends of ours in Bulgaria, near the Pirin mountains. Her name translates roughly as colourful.
  8. Nicely done. Would have been a bit different without the TIP you had. Sounds like it maxed you out mentally. Well done getting it done, as always

    My new dog.

    Been with us for the past four years, we reckon she is about seven. Rescue, with a lot of nervous behaviours and anxiety for the first while. Far more confident these days and very dog social, playful. Great company and loves the space out in the hills. A mongrel but there is some collie in there with the way she moves and a bit of foxhound.
  10. Yep. Got me one of these last week as well. Better click the link and claim my moneys
  11. Brilliant to see this much of the rooting structure, not from trees point of view mind. Is it an atypical rooting structure due to focussing lots of energy on root growth back into the embankment to race the erosion?
  12. Rope bag should be self supporting with a wide mouth to make it easier to feed your rope back in. I do like a section for shiny stuffs and gadgets that I don't use everyday, that way they don't wear and rust just because my standard gear was in there soaking wet.
  13. Came across this today on a cidrus libani. It is located a couple of feet off the ground. I wondered about whether it was phaeolus schweinitzii. The tree is a mature specimen showing signs of sirococcus tsugae. Over half the foliage has been affected and I believe it will be removed based on this alone and that the fungus is a secondary attack. The second mature cedar of Lebanon we have dealt with recently due to this needle blight. Also two young atlas cedars in the garden showing pink needles too, a beautiful if untimely demise.
  14. Having some issues with our 150t. If run held on its side, clutch down, then after a while it will begin to labour and eventually cut out. Fuel is finding it's way to the air filter and soaking it. Dry it out and saw is fine for a while. Not too sure what my next step is. If I run it with the filter off on its side then I can see fuel leaking back through the air intake.
