Will Heal

I'm not going back to measure it but it's about 2 feet diameter at the bottom and it's six foot up to where the first large branch was removed previously. It's in a village between hungerford and Marlborough in wiltshire

Would anybody be interested in this yew? There are two options to move it from the garden, you can get into the field behind and lift it out with a hi ab or it could be milled into boards in the garden with a chainsaw ( which I can do) and carried out

Monday Is the 18th

Can you get the jag moved?

Agree, sub it out. Add a bit on top and it's effortless profit. Sub all mine out now. Mind you I hate grinding

Just a guess mark but I reckon it would. The 12mm ply board which I temporarily screwed to the top of my greedy boards supports me ( as long as I keep near the edges) that looks slightly more substantial

Thanks for all of the replies. I will go back to the home owner and tell them what could happen if they have it felled and suggest that they get a structural engineer to look at it. If they still want to go ahead can I just get them to sign something to say that I cannot be held responsible if their house falls down afterwards? The tree is in a conservation area and they have notified the council who have no problem with the tree being felled. Yes it is a nice stick and milling it could be an option. It's a bit ironic really- if it was further away from the building It wouldn't need to be felled but could be, but it's too close and it can't! Thanks Will

I have been ask to fell and grind the stump of this yew tree. My only concern is that the tree is very close to the house, on clay soil and is much older than the house. I'm guessing that if I remove this tree all at once it could cause heave and damage the house. Would it be best to reduce the tree heavily now then fell in a couple of years time then grind the stump a couple of years after that. Thanks Will

Great mines working too. Thanks steve

We are coming to Pembroke camping this weekend mate, but it won't fit in the back of me ranger to take it home!

Can't help you with this mate but -HOORAY! THE APP IS BACK!

Just realised today when using my Stijl blower that it can be used left handed. Before when my right arm it tired of blowing I've held the top handle with my left and it sucks yer trousers into the fan, but- if you lock the throttle to flat out then turn it upside down you can use it left handed. so well done Stijl on making a left handed blower.

Mine still says this

Not sure original poster will read this now, although it's given me an idea for my own thread !

A gardener that I was working for today 'borrowed' my 150 to cut a climbing rose from a pergola while I was off tipping chip. When I got back he said to me 'what a great little saw I'll have to get one of these, like' (he's from Newcastle) 'there dangerous though, arnt they, I nearly took my fingers off!' Plus when I used it later it was blunt. so training definitely required

Monday, we had a bonfire in the garden and then next door neighbour brought in her son and mother and cooked us marsh mellows on the embers

Nothing about how to chop down a tree, which lets face it is why we all want to do this job!

Rubbish! Just tried it, doesn't work . do I need to delete it and install it again?

Looks good! I will be storing mine in a poly tunnel if I ever find time to move the pile of rotten sleepers level the ground and put one up! if not they will be stored on pallets under corrugated tin.

Consider a timber wolf 125 or is it a 160 now? i have an old 6inch petrol entec, and although it's nowhere near the performance of a 230, the big Benifit is that you can push it into places that you cannot drive your truck- it has saved me many a long drag. I would like to try a new 160 just to see

Now if I can work out how to add pictures to this here is a before and after of an oak tree we dismantled last week

Pigeons don't annoy me.........

After waiting over two months since ordering a nut for my 501sx I shan't be buying another echo Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Well an update on my 501 which I have had for about a year now. About 8 weeks ago I had to remove the clutch bell to mend the brake band which had popped out of place. The clutch bell is held on by a nut and washer instead of a circlip like still and husky. Put it all back together and obviously didn't tighten the nut enough as when I next used it it fell to bits- my fault completely. I thought no bother I'll order a new nut and washer from local dealer. Dealer said 1 week to get it. Not there after 1 week or two or three, or four I ring the dealer every week he's not too bothered tho. After 6 weeks I ring echo uk who say the nut is in stock and blame the dealer. They suggest a local dealer who say yes can get you one tomorrow. I week later I get a phone call saying it is not in stock and won't be there till the 8 th of august! I WILL NOT BE BUYING ANOTHER ECHO MACHINE AGAIN!! Should have bought a dollar ( sorry shavey!) Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

If you cut them all at once, do you think BT would just charge you one call out fee? May be worth doing! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
