Nice one Chris I guess. I just looked through it at length. It's really very good. Lots of stuff I knew once then forgot in the fog of war.

It was posted earlier in the thread.

2016 New Years Resolutions!... lets hear 'em......

All noble and achievable Stu. Mine. Don't lift ANYTHING heavy. Ease up a bit on the sauce. -
If you're in a cemetery it's a fair bet you're not rigging big. I often place the party on an adjacent tree. Just don't go nuts.

Oh I don't mind the joking, but at least make them funny!
-
What a genuinely unfunny post, on every level.

Ha ha! I love this site....https://www.facebook.com/The-animal-print-fleece-appreciation-society-301024103253398/

http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/lounge/28883-bye-bye-bin-laden-3.html Here you go, simple find really, if you read it (especially post @56) you'll see Tony did not quote any English law telling you anything.

What Member of Parliament?

Obama/Curious George T-Shirt Draws Protests Here's the Washington Post's reporting on an aspect of the CG/Obama thing. Let's be honest Ted, it's clear what your point of view is, Tony Sorensen (late of this parish and much missed) pulled you up on this a good while back, but obviously it gives you such a buzz to write it you brought it out again.
-
Explain it then, I'm 53 and unlikely to watch a child's cartoon for your benefit.
-
Of course I understand, Obama is African-American so you liken him to a monkey.
-
The use of capital letters to signify a brand would help. But as English (presumably) isn't your first language, no biggy. A googling will reveal Curious George is a reference to Obama, a cartoon monkey. Stay classy Ted.

As is yours of the UK system. What's the Curious George reference?

The NHS has been there for me and my family over our lifetimes, I think it represents great value for money. Having experienced another system here in France which, whilst very good, is eyewateringly expensive I can only reiterate my admiration for the NHS. I think the idea of a US style private insurance scheme would be as welcome as their laws on guns. The NHS has problems, they can be overcome I'm sure.

I find myself at the end of the financial year needing to offset a few euros. So I'm toying with a few ideas. I have always fancied a lightweight timber trailer with a crane, I don't do forestry but it would come in handy for quite a few large domestic jobs. Tractor is a Kubota stv36, hydrostatic transmission, I don't know if that's a problem. Has anyone got/used/have experience of a suitable trailer and would care to share their experiences/opinions. As ever, thanks in advance...

Better!

Petrol v diesel long and short term costs...
Mick Dempsey replied to Ty Korrigan's topic in Large equipment
You're going to do a lot more than 1.25 times more stumps with the 35 over the 25, so it's more economical in real terms. -
Looks good, should have picked a bigger and more photogenic stump for the video though.
-
Choose a widespreading hardwood that's symmetrical and 3 dimensional i.e. a field tree. Oaks are usually the best. The most important thing to learn is managing your rope as you work your way around the tree. Go the the end of each branch, and imagine you're cutting off a couple of feet, you'll soon pick up the pitfalls and visualise your next move.

Well there you go! Learn something everyday. Multiply by 2.6
-
I doubt it, so many variables, although you never know. Chip size can dictate volume, big chip=more space (or maybe the other way round)
-
They look like they are in a straight line, leads me to think they're planted.
-
The dead lower branches are due to the tree shutting them down as it goes up and the lower branches don't receive usable light. Show some pics of the form of your mystery tree for a better ID. The darker ones do look like wild cherry.

I have, but I keep photos for posterity (and to try and win photo competitions)
