That’s how I imagined it would work.

Get the hash, I miss that, once the crazy strong skunk appeared, I had to stop.

Lots of stuff appears, looks smart, then disappears. Only time will tell.

If anyone knows what this thread is about, please enlighten me.

Thanks Les. As it goes, my old iPhone practically needs to be permanently on charge.

Phone is all but dead.

Did a bit of research, and you’re right, they came over to Wexford (under their own steam) in the 1700s. So doesn’t that make them native?

I understand, and it’s not for me. I had a similar conversation with my brother, and as he is more than quite handy, he was undeterred. All hydraulic parts are metric and available off the shelf, the engine is unsophisticated to say the least, but repairable or replaceable. The price is at least a 1/3 or even a 1/4 of the equivalent well known marque. They’re in the showrooms over here. I don’t want one, but if I was starting out, they’d be difficult to resist.

He should have (using motoring parlance) stayed in his lane.

My brother bought one to help his son (my nephew a tree surgeon ) to move wood etc. He fitted a fixed grab to it. It does the job, better than handballing it. Had to replace the tracks very soon after purchase, but otherwise is happy enough.

They’re BATTERY saws.

I think utility arb might be your foot in the door, it can be a tough job, but it’s time with the saw in your hands, and after a year or so doing that you are much more of an attractive proposition employment wise to firms. Plus financially it’s steady good money. Forget window cleaning, ridiculous from Kram, he gets some really daft notions.

TPO black Poplars, Conservation Area, - England - Advice please
Mick Dempsey replied to BPop's topic in Picture Forum
It would be an ongoing issue in all scenarios. Would it put me off buying? Possibly. It should certainly be in the conversation when negotiating. -

Re, battery saws. We have the poky husky topper and the battery ground saw, both with clutches. For general arb work they cover 80% of what we do, especially as we don’t ring up stems very often cos of the Avant. The topper is heavy, so gets benched for the little echo on the smaller stuff. As a chipper saw and for light work the back handled battery saw is first out of the truck.

Advice on trees that have been aggressively pollarded
Mick Dempsey replied to Hobbittree's topic in Trees and the Law
I occasionally post a pollard on the work pics threads on the couple of US forums I frequent. There’s often interest in the methodology, some scoffing, but generally there is no major pushback. It was a bit different 10/15 years ago, but these days, thanks to the web, we see so much of other people’s (and countries) tree work that as an industry (hate that term) we are less parochial than we were. -

Mornin’ Stubs. On thé coast this weekend, very blowy and rainy. Just back from the dog walk, dramatic seascapes compensated for the unpleasant conditions.

It’s all work, top ‘em a few times, then take them out when it rots out. Circle of life and all that.
