Nice. Any trouble sourcing spares or haven't needed any parts in 15yrs?

Imformative posts thanks. Is the reasoning behind the the no shoot night regs suppose to prevent illegal shooting, or an animal welfare issue?

I think it will be hard to get rid without weed killer. (though that may also harm the hedge) it maybe easier to just contain its spread with a root barrier. Though mulching with many layers of cardboard or using a weed membrane over the whole area may work. It would take a few yrs and you would need to cover the area the 100%, and keep checking you didin't miss abit. Hard to do around the all the hedge trunks but might be feasible if area isn't to large. The trouble imo with bark and grass mowings it will supress it initially but it will grow though it and feed the ground elder by improving soil as it breaks down. With ground elder its best to have zero tolerance approach or not bother. Otherwise you waste time weeding it etc, then its back to square one in a few yrs unless you removed every single tiny bit of it.

I expect a 0.58 gauge bar rail is abit more durable v 0.50 & might also carry oil better for a longer bar?

Terrible hedge plant imo due to not sprouting from old wood. This means many hedges get bigger and wider each year as its very hard to maintain the same size without it going bare/brown. Least with laurel you can coppice to ground a it will come back fresh looking..... Dunno why people don't choose yew instead, maybe they are scared off poisoning the dog or something with the trimmings....

Only reason to bother to climb it is if there isn't space to fell it from the ground.

This 18v makita topper is good But be aware of the H&S issues as others have said. You could get a samurai hand saw (be careful with a hand saw also ) a budget petrol chainsaw to use on ground and make sure you do get PPE: chainsaw trousers and helmet. Dealing with all the tree after you have cut in down may be the biggest hassle as the volume is always 5 times more than you think when the trees still up.

They have evovled as a species to live exclusively in human structures apparently so have less nesting sites if theres less old buildings around, and theres also being a huge decline in insect total biomass in recent decades.
