    Hope you charged enough!

    I can admire the skill needed to do it.

    It’s my ‘burner’ rope for simple everyday stuff, natural crotch, pulling with the machine etc. As for the Avant/MO Very similar, one has got to go though!
  4. Mick Dempsey
    Fair enough, every day a school day.
  5. Mick Dempsey
    Why would you need a windbreak for polytunnels?
  6. Mick Dempsey
    It should go even without the storm damage. What possible purpose does a row of overgrown leylandii serve in that situation?
  7. Mick Dempsey
    They are a brilliant polesaw, poky, reliable tickover. I’d buy another this afternoon if mine broke.

    You’re having a laugh? Just using pallet forks with an articulated loader is like being married to Margot Robbie and just kissing her on the cheek before bed. IMG_1619.MOV

    Took a couple of oaks out, forgot the lowering device. Needs must when the devil drives.

    Agreed, plant a small tree, if you really, really don’t want a tree there in 40 years no one will notice it die and disappear.

    I didn’t invent the news Kevin! I think most forums have a thread like this, the yankee forum I was on had one for discussion on current affairs. There’s another one called The RIP thread, where people post recent high profile deaths and discuss the work/life of the departed. Worked very well. Couldn’t make that one stick here though

    Helicopter, otherwise it’s all meaningless.

    It’s flaming obvious what he should do! Sell his house, bank the money, buy a campervan, live in that and with what’s left buy a tree surgery firm, lock stock and barrel, get them to do it, then sell the firm, buy your house back, relax. About as sensible as some of the suggestions as this thread drifts into insanity.

    I remember Reg Coates had a job whereby he was going up large conifers at the edge of a stand and thinning the top 6/7 mètres, so not topping but taking out a good few branches but leaving the very top and just a few laterals, reducing the sail effect of the very top. It’s a while back now, and I don’t know if it’s a recognized practice, think this was in Canada

    You’ve just got to trust the process.

    Just a little update. I gave the rollers a bit of a touch up with a flappy disc, nothing too drastic and it suddenly chips, pulls and crushes like it did the day it left the factory! As good as my old TW150 which is all I was after. So problems mostly ironed out and a happy camper!

    Can’t see anything.
  18. Mick Dempsey
    Ride that pony!

    More picture of paving and trees position please.
  20. Mick Dempsey
    Sad to see, have you any photos of what remains?

    What a hoot!

    It’s not important, but I’ll pick up that blown Mk1 in the week and I’ll have a look. I’d be surprised if there isn’t something in it, he’s usually pretty knowledgeable.
  24. Mick Dempsey
    The huge majority of times it easier just to buckle up and climb it like any other tree. If you spin under, and you can’t get back over, go back down and try again.

    Horse Chestnut?
