    The 280 has an aperture of 280x210 ie. 11x8 inches. The 230 is not really a 6" inch machine, i agree they are brilliant though. I had thought the 280 would be a stonker, but if you demo'd a 280 and were underwhelmed fair enough.
  2. Mick Dempsey
    So do you mean the tw190?
  3. Mick Dempsey
    What's a tw8?

    It'll curl up and cover the top in a year or two. If you explained the outcome before, walk out the garden without a backward glance, with a cheque of course!

    Big pops. Nice work

    Guess Kevin.

    If you can afford the crane/mewp fine. Elm is pretty tough even when dead, no power lines from what I can see. I would say save your money and climb. Should still be done easily in a day with all that gear.

    Hate it (and love it!) when they do that. A phone call would be nice so you could arrange more manpower/equipment.

    I have found the husky batteries have variable charge capacities. I have 3 of them. I number them with a marker them to keep an eye on it. No 2 is the best, keeps going longer.

    I know Darrin, not in the mood for a row/discussion about "reductions" so i pulled it. I do agree with you though.

    Why We Need Trump In Town… | Tim Marshall - The What and The Why Tim Marshall gives his tuppence. Fwiw I agree with him.

    But those have little to do with this guy who sits outside his house in the shade of his birch trees. Telling him to cut them down, plant an apple and put a parasol up. These people are our bread and butter clients, not the Duke of Cumberland (Cue someone who works for the Duke of Cumberland!)

    Hi Paul, Removing a tree is the first option, if that's what the client really wants. Ps radiant with good health thanks:001_smile:
  18. Mick Dempsey
    Gary, that's reductio ad absurdum (thanks Big Bang Theory!)
  19. Mick Dempsey
    Yes, it's all a front. I just get triggered (very current word I know) by the "fell and replant" dogma. I remember at college we were indoctrinated by this and I spouted it for a bit, much to my clients bewilderment. It's right up there with "thin and lift" Over time I came to see that telling a 65 year old that they should fell a previously topped sycamore, that they were perfectly happy with, and replace it with a cherry or suchlike, bearing in mind they'd probably be dead before it replaced their sycamore in "amenity" value, was stupid (And bad business)
  20. Mick Dempsey
    Too far.
  21. Mick Dempsey
    Et alors? I'd charge a €100 or so to do that work. Not really the end of the world is it?
  22. Mick Dempsey
    I have topped and retopped hundreds of these trees. You get rot pockets in the cut and if it gets too big you may have to cut below the previous cut and start again. These are birch, not historic oaks. If the client likes them, fine.
  23. Mick Dempsey
    Standard practice over here. No big deal, you can cut them back again. Treequip is right in his advice.
  24. Mick Dempsey
    So the answer is basically all of them, if the need arises.
  25. Mick Dempsey
    No, the cutting holes in à leylandii hedge thing.
