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.

Fault code on GM Arborist 150 help.
Mick Dempsey replied to Mick Dempsey's topic in Maintenance help
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.

More picture of paving and trees position please. -
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.

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.

Advice on getting care for the old or otherwise ill or disabled..
Mick Dempsey replied to john87's topic in General chat
It’s a kind offer John, thanks. Both of mine are gone now, but some advice would have been handy at some points. Maybe rename the thread? @Steve Bullman -
Got a picture? That always helps.

Yep, I think you’re right.

750, pretty much the equivalent to the MO 49 hp -
On the subject, I bought a newer mk2 the other day. According to the guy the newer ones run a different bar/chain combo. So he got me a new bar and chain for the older one (the bar had seized anyway which is why I went in there) so I was running the same on both. What was he talking about? The width or what?

No, I meant a full head of hair.

Never alone. Haircut. Accent. Never relax in your presence.

I might be moany and old, but every day I go to work with something you’ll never have.

Disappointed and disheartened that we haven’t willingly thrown ourselves into a pointless survey for a guy who prior to his engagement here knew zero about Ivy, trees or anything relevant really? Your posts were condescending to the point of insult, were we supposed to be impressed and grateful a soi-disant Scientist wanted to explore a theory that we all knew the answer to anyway? We gave you answers, you weren’t interested unless they fitted your theory formulated one day on a walk. You learned a lot from the friendly and the non friendly arborists by the way.

Cheers Peds, I cannot post links for some reason.

All start somewhere I suppose. IMHO those microchippers are not ideal for a start up. Ok for the odd minimum access job/through the house job admittedly. You need a minimum of a TW125/GM130 to really pose any sort of threat to bigger firms. I know people will say “it’s just to get me started till I can afford something better” Whereas owning it is just preventing you from getting what you really need.
