Thanks for the replies Ive been told by the householders that they bought the land with planning permission for two houses. They wanted one house so had to re apply. The planning officer granted the new permission but then informed the TO about the tree and I’m told he TPO’d it without seeing it. They then had to employ a consultant etc etc. They have spent thousands extra apparently to get the build done The original TO has moved on. And his last permission for a 2.5 reduction has expired. They need to do something They would prefer a hard pollard with an undertaking to carry out ongoing management. They would be happy to agree to that. I’m not aware of the regular maintenance agreement. Is this something that can be applied for in the same way as one off works? AAHP I particularly appreciate your considered view. I think they would be willing to go with the regular cherry picker if that’s the only option cheers all

Any tree officers wanna put their ten pence worth ????? seriously looking for advice

I know what you mean but where's the sense ? The house is there now

yes TPO

The occupants of the adjacent dwelling (and tree owners) were previously granted a 2.5 metre crown reduction for this willow, which was never carried out. It was just over three years ago so a new application is required. They would really like it pollarded but I doubt this would be permitted. I'm thinking of asking for a 3 metre reduction and a shortening of selected scaffold branches to reduce end weight ? Would this be a valid request? They also want reasons for any works. Is "proximity to dwelling" a legitimate reason for controlling the size/spread Comments welcome prior to our application Thanks

Can anyone recommend a good one Thanks

Busted my husky plastic chain brake. Is it a dear part and is it an easy fix

Well yes I hired the one with the 661 I was very impressed and yes the guys at predator were great. I felt that in addition to being able to get it anywhere it was more than a match for a small wheeled pedestrian machine

Any body ever had or used one of these predator machines. Not sure if they're mickey mouse, too strenuous to use, or a great bit of kit

Will this work ok Only need wire occasionally so don’t want to lay out for whole kit and caboodle £45 versus £145 ish

Thanks Must be goin senile

Nearly finished bothering you Steve.... how do I make it say SOLD Cheers

No but not sure what the 7 days grace or premium is about

Tried to do it but its not going up Not sure what I'm doing wrong

Is the wood not saleable. How do people think this would this affect the equation

Thanks Steve

Hi all I've got a couple of items which I wish to sell. Never used arbtrader but it seems straightforward. Also never sold on e bay so I am wondering how payment works. Also do I need to know how much it will cost to send out and include this in the price..? Thanks Nick

Might have need of casual groundies for chipping etc in Midlands area Must have basic CSCS card Anybody want to leave me some contact details

Reg Coates did a video using this. Lots of bits cut with slings and attached to central rig rope with friction hitches

Hi Have a Shindaiwa 48cc chainsaw that recently started running rough/cutting out. When running right it was a great mid sized saw The local repairers report it is f***** and say the piston and pot are scored rendering it beyond economic repair I can feel scoring on the piston but the pot feels smooth. Does anyone think the parts might be worth something if anyone has one Shindaiwa is Japanese not Chinese and not a bad make but this was new about mid 1990's so probably not many around now

Yes its the link that Stere put on previous page. I'll let you know if they're s**** or ok for what they are I know steps with adjustable legs are great for uneven ground but haven't found any that go high enough

Thanks Think Ill go for the 12 rung ladder steps. There's an offer on at mo..£184 with free delivery. Ultimate Height 8 mts and 5.5 with the a frame extension. Cheers

Whats the best all round choice for those high hedges and large domed yews/hollys Fixed height tripod orchard style steps or a set of ladders that has an A frame extension option
