Ive never got the slasher to cut as impressively as in this classic vid for example I reckon scythe with a ditch blade would be the tool for the job if going down the hand tool root over a slasher Reasoning is blade is at a the right angle offset for cutting the stems compared to the handle unlike with a slasher....

I find it mildly depressing - the craze to plant willow structures in schools, yet it seems beyond the pale for teachers and kids to maintain them hence the paying of ground maintance people to trim theese willow tunnels. I quoted the council to do one once they never replied.... Was planning to do it proper weaving in & tying down the whips etc not just trim off all the new growth.... quite time consuming for larger structures. I reckoned 2 days work as was a long tunnel.... Wouldn't take a whole classroom of kids long maybe its a H&S thing ?

I tried a slash hook and loppers few times is pretty ineffective against a dense 10ft high bramble mass Even when you manage to cut all stems which is difficult.... u still have a mass of cut bramble to deal with - best is to chuck them on a bonfire. The brushcutter mulch head reduces such volume. The dead bramble under storey can also burn well in situ especially with a back pack leaf blower assitance or the right wind direction but this is not advisable as you can quickly get an impressively fun inferno! 😉 0.5h is 1.2 acres not that a small an area too lop..... OP has gone i think so will always be a mystery what has happenned to this negelected paddock......

See what you mean about price - some of thoose small ml tins are like £80 per kg Looking up about oils & wondering if laolin mink neatsfoot oil or even say a block of cooking lards from the supermarket makes much difference all are just various animal fats? What ever oil my ducks makes for there feathers is amazingly water repellent also if you could buy it tub of it..... From googling...... Supposedly mink oil is better & is more expensive than other "inferior" lards as doesn't go rancid? Laolin naturally anti fungal and anti -bacterical also This beeswax plus laolin stuff looks decent & not too pricey.....

True but this doesn't seem happen as often...compared to the other scenario & also you can still often see brown bare bits due to aphids / moths/ fungi.

Best not take off more than 1/3 on one go... Would be nice is you cleared the brambles, trees look healthy - so they not a lost cause at all. Look like they have being pruned not a very long time ago judging from density of the tops. Thy look shaded from the left side in the first picture maybe but I can't see how much as need to zoom out...... So could prehaps benefit from trimming whatever is shading.....so they grow less lopsided I saw some massive old apple trees in a walled garden recently amazingly dense congested crowns. I reckon they must of not being pruned in say 50yrs or something..... One has grown at least 20ft sideways as was shaded from one side Not seen the like of them before..... real beauties

Worse thing is leylandi don't sprout from the brown woody bits unlike many other tree species- if trimmed or damaged past the green bits so if your damaged tree will be bare & ugly from now on. Best just fell it completely Its also why they aren't a good species for hedges as to avoid them going bare/ugly everytime they are trimmed they can only be done lightly so they graudually get slightly wider until you end up with a hedge 6m across the top. Saturated wet ground wind 80- 90mph gusts for 3hrs and not the normal prevaling direction loads of tree blown down in Darragh esp shallow rooted conifers. Bet some skita plantations have being pancaked.....

I would advise don't get any battery saw atm get a 550xp to start. Unless you have the budget for then get both a 550xp and say the MSA220 or husky eqivalent but if not just start with the petrol....

Taliban-ish like Afghanistan maybe But Syria has alot more % of urban living "cultured" townies so unsure how allah akbar-ish/sharia it will end up .... Afghanistan was alot more yokel/rural on the whole. Supposedly HTS have claimed they aren't gonna persecute the ethnic minorities and religions but the taliban also said that but now are pretty extreme. The Kurdish bit will want to maintain its independence. Also all the oil wells are in the Kurd region guarded by US troops, HTS will want them back......surely? Very hard to say i reckon so many rival factions and proxy backers from outside countries. Might end up some form of Somalia style chaos? Threres more rival rebel faction than in the life of Brian who have sometimes being fighting each other. HTS don't like the Turk backed proxy group SNA for example & SNA seem to be fighting the Kurds more than Assad.
