Beech by the look of it, there’s a report in the Daily Mail. Edit, here’s where it happened, someone who knows the area could google earth then do a street view to get a look at the tree.

Before he goes to the US they should send back that woman who killed that kid on the motor bike. (neither will happen)

What Do Arborists Do With Cut Down Wood
Mick Dempsey replied to Witterings's topic in Firewood forum
Their wood, their chip, what they do with it is their business, I don’t see where you’re coming from tbh. -

Come and get it, all you can eat! -
What’s a ratty rail track?

Whats your multione loader doing today ?
Mick Dempsey replied to digaholedumper's topic in General chat
I’ve not been impressed with the winches on MOs (just on the vids mind) They look a bit anemic. -
Portable winch or 60hp tractor mounted ?
Mick Dempsey replied to Youngstu's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
A tractor mounted forestry winch on à pto will be in a different league to a portable petrol winch. -
What’s Mascis? Googled it but nothing.

Looking at it from the outside, it’s a done deal, mupping’n’squealing about it will have no consequence, they’ll tell you to get a tracked mewp in. In utility and public works they’ll get used to it, because they’re not against the clock in the same way as others. Game’s gone, or at least it’s on the way out.

I’m in the first category btw.

Get a demo on one before forking out for that steam punk piece of junk. They are astonishingly good.

... but still with the smell of wood chip lingering in his flaring nostrils he remembered the proud way the tree surgeon stood, slack jawed, staring vacantly into space with a piece of broken fence panel in his hand, this had stirred unusual feelings in the middle aged drainage engineer.

Have you ever used a TW230 Stu?

Why should the landlord pay anything? Or indeed organise anything? The OP broke it, so the onus is on him to finance and organise a solution.

Tops nicely, but rots from large cuts readily, so retopping often involves going below previous cuts, then after a number of cycles, maybe 3, it becomes a rotten mushroom covered mess. Then it comes out.

I remember having to do a first aid thing before working on some site or other for half the morning They had that armless dummy thing for the kiss of life, the guy in front of me had cold sores and I flat out refused to do it, even though the instructor used alcohol wipes.

It begs the questions, if you can extract the same (or very nearly the same chipping performance out an engine that now produces 26hp rather than 35hp 1: Why didn’t you do that before? 2: Are you going to use the same techniques to improve the chipping performance of the rest of the range?

But...are the pulley and belt dimensions the same? Is the wheel going to turn faster or just be more difficult to slow down due to more power behind it?
-
Thanks Sam, I have no responsibility, I told him what it was, sent him a link to the wiki page (the French wiki page says that it not a dangerous fungi to the tree) told him there are no guarantees. The arboricultural survey thing isn’t going to happen.

I don’t think he is trying to take advantage, just wants what was broken fixed, which seems entirely fair.

I put a hole in a roof like that, as usual discontinued line, no longer made in that profile etc. (before the internet so lots of driving around fruitlessly) Turned out to be asbestos and had to replace the whole roof on insurance. In all honesty it was no big deal, premiums didn’t increase iirc. If it gets too much, throw it at your insurers, that’s what you’re paying for.

Good use of equipment in a tight situation.

Take it out.

Back in the early 90s me and some others planted 10s of thousands of daffodils at Groombridge place (pictured) We found digging out a spit square with a sharp spade and putting a bulb in each corner worked best.

I doubt pro contractors would find much use for it. But large estates, older gardeners with multiple tools, golf courses and colleges might be the market place.
