Got two 550s, after the toppers they’re the first saws we reach for, me and the lads love them.

Bloke who worked/works occasionally for me trades in BC and some other currency, I’m interested, but too stupid to really “get it” If you were to explain it Rob, there’s a few on here who would be grateful.

Gleditsia?

Sorry Mark, can’t find it now, prolly around 40 squid.

Sick making money grubbing exploitation from something called “I And tree” from FB. .
-
Gave me a laugh, from FB
-
Just read this from start to finish, one of the all time great threads.

Even a sloppy new chain shouldn’t cut too pissed. My money is on a mismatch of chain and bar, supplier error.

That’s because you don’t need a tree surgeon to plant a tree, a gardener or house owner usually does it. When you look at photos from 30/50/70 years ago you’ll see that, in urban areas anyway, tree cover is much higher now.

What he means is as you lift the boom it stays at the same angle in relation to the ground. -

I’ll take your word for it Joe, I have zero knowledge of srt apart from what I read on here. Honest to God I rarely feel that I need more movement in a tree, but I’m mostly takedowns. When I read that people are taking a year to adjust (and some are still not evangelical about it) I figure at 54, why bother? -

Does this make sense? -
Surely Amey didn’t do the specs, they just do the work as it’s placed in front of them by the LA.

As it happens a guy on the FB site told me, simply tightening the bolt that deactivated the pump when the attachement was lifted did the job nicely. 3 minutes work. -
We haven’t left the EU yet.

I walk away from jobs, not removals mind, I’ll take anything out, but silly reductions. The most recent was a couple of previously topped Douglas ( most recently by me 7 or so years ago, but they’d been done at least a couple of times before) that the client wanted even lower so it would have only 4 branches and be 4 metres tall. Another was a client who wanted the middle branches of an umbrella pine removed to leave a Y shape. Not really liking the client/having lots on can bring the high horse out the stable more readily.

Or not engaging in dialogue with the residents/protesters, what purpose would it serve?
-
Ridiculous to judge this without knowing anything at all about it. Did you actually see the contractors walk away from the site or did you just come across the scene?
-
Dont know either, but I hope that’s not your real name.
-
Of course I do, but I differentiate between an ancient specimen, which, lets face it we work on very rarely if ever, and the sort of trees that 99% of us work on 99% of the time.
-
Yawn.

Read this article before Joe, if this was a political debate then posting it would be called virtue signaling.
-
Lot of pointless blather.
