    In a word, no. Great pics of the paving but barely see the trees, especially the leaves. I need a close up pic of a leaf.

    Hi, i can't be online at this time. Will it be available to view another day?

    I don't have personal experience but have seen photos of hornbeam pollards that look quite healthy. I think they were pollarded commercially in the past. There is also an old thread on here "Hornbeam Pollards". If it's that or lose the tree then pollarding is the better option. Jan.

    Hi, Yeah doesn't sound great safety wise. On my first aid course the guy had these transeivers which worked anywhere, they weren't cheap but were what he recommended for lone workers. In reach Explorer and Spot locator. I took a pic of them in case we ever needed it, but never have. They were a few hundred quid to buy then you need a yearly contract. Hope that helps. Jan.

    The "climbing arborist" guy might be worth contacting via his website. Isn't Reg Coates on Va island? Looks awesome out there, beats connie bashing for mrs miggins in the UK! All the best with it.

    Brilliant, I'm still chuckling at that. [emoji13] [emoji13] [emoji13]

    You have messed up there, if you're subbing you don't steal the client. Especially if you're still working for the guy. Bad form mate!

    Shiply are quote over 600, I included a photo of the chipper and di.ensions so they should know what to expect. I'm not paying that much anyhow. J.

    Tw160, tow bar might be removable, never looked into it. I think it might need 3or4 pallets anyway. J.

    I had a look at palletline. The chipper is 3x1.5x1.5m, which is about 5 pallets, cost was about 500. I'm not sure they will take a chipper either. J.
  14. jfc
    wow that would be great, I will look into fully.

    Hi Folks, So I have someone keen to buy my chipper (through Arbtrader). He lives in Wales and I'm in Scotland, which is about 430miles and 8hr drive each way. Apart from us driving halfway any suggestions for economical ways to transport it such a distance, ie haulage firms, car transporter? Cheers, Jan.

    The guy I work with has a t540i, I have used it a bit and very impressed with it. I borrowed it to reduce a tall connie hedge, it cut through 6 inch connie stems easily, performs much like a petrol topper. We used it all morning and the battery gave out just before lunch. We filled the transit with 2 loads of chip, off 1 battery. He has ordered another battery as you'll need 2. Not tried doing a full dismantke yet.

    That's a shocking attitude to take about 2 rope working. Sparks will fly if the hse know about this.[emoji6]

    Shush! don't tell him, he still doesn't know why that blade snapped.

    I'm sure this has come up before, but i use zubat 330 on my leg with a sawpod. I had a gomtaro but found the zubat heavier duty and harder to snap the blades. Which I've not done for a good while, although I've fed two to the chipper instead! (When feeding the chipper Connie branches catching the saw on my leg unnoticed). J.

    I understood winter was the best time to move trees, as they're dormant. I was pleased to see an 8ft acer we moved in Feb was leafed up and looking healthy when I drove past today. We severed a couple of roots as they went too deep to dig out, and it survived. Hope your trees cope OK. J.

    Oh, I thought it was spliced onto rope. So the pipe has the sling closed and rings in position. I don't think I would trust the pipe not to burst/split then all hell would break loose! I might just be a chicken s@#t though. I never like to have doubts about my gear when at a decent ht rigging hundreds of kg. Clearing up squished groundies adds hours on the job! J.

    Managed to get the 16 strand done, mainly due to@Tommy_B for the help he provided. Made a wire fid with 1.2mm piano wire.

    I have the makita 254z 18v, which is light but only good for light pruning. A guy that works with me has the t540i, it is very impressive compared to the makita, loads more power and battery life. It is a proper topper. The price is off-putting though. It also weighs about the same as a petrol one, and my elbows like a lighter saw.

    Bikes, it's so tempting to give it some with the right hand. I decided I had to stop riding them 20yrs ago. My luck was going to run out at some point. Hope you don't get hammered by the man! J.
