    the sand is very dry and will not be clinging to brushwood , and then only branches on the sand , the sand particles are much smaller than the gap between anvil and blade on chipper so should not really be as much an issue as working in muddy areas or gravel ...not ideal I know but not a big issue ....

    it is quite common for builders ( on smallish jobs ) to get customer to set up account with the likes of Jewson and pay for it themselves or order online ....otherwise it will look like turnover is higher than the reality and saves getting stung by non paying customer !!!

    I often wrap a few turns of rope around to capture any splitting , choker chain works well if you have one to hand !

    it is not about time saving but greatly increasing carrying capacity .....still unjustifiably expensive though !!!

    TVI if you have changed the sprocket to make chain run faster then perhaps the extra centrifugal force at the tip / sprocket is causing more oil to be flung off reducing the amount in bar / chain at point of cutting ( just before the oiler ) and try mineral oil ...

    I do not quite understand the theory of the "resin gumming up the chimney " resin burns well and I do not understand how it will get through the firebox and choke the chimney !! unless wet / damp wood is being burnt and the stove choked ...

    Those of us who have spent a lot of their lives climbing and cutting leylandii would of noticed just how strong and hard small twigs and branches can be when dead , stubs left from previous topping work are incredibly strong and rarely rotten so it comes as no surprise to find that it is a very decay resistant wood , it's mother is monterey cypress which is another very rot resistant wood !!

    Ash die back is , and will be providing a lot of work for the next few years at least !! but if it all gets a bit to competitive price wise then there will be a lot of busy firms not making much money , and I have never seen so many small tree companies as there is now !!
