    That’s the nub of it.

    Yes, no damage to shaft or anything else. Mark that down as a win(sort of!)

    Looks like the flywheel of a GM. What are we supposed to see?

    I was googling a bit and that bench around it looks recent.

    Very sad From the pics it looks like the whole thing just collapsed on itself. Cedars are a bit brittle. Looking at the before pic the needle cover looks very thin. They can die off quite quickly, I hope that wasn’t the case here and a decision was delayed to fell.

    was it Super Hans?

    Could Gary Numan look more like Derek Zoolander? (in a Chandler Bing voice)

    Must have lost touch around The End Of The Century I guess.

    After Slade it’s all been a blur!

    Buncha joyless farts. I never know modern bands until they start singing their hits (that I’ve heard on the radio) The Script being a case in point. Good band.

    We use a 542 battery saw in the tree for dismantling trees, and the equivalent rear handled ground saw as a chipper saw, cutting forks etc. Couple that with a good coms system and you’ve got a smooth, safe relaxed rigging environment. The real test is what people really want to use, ie what they take off the truck when there’s a choice, and those two get used the most. Of course the petrol saws come out for felling and bigger cross cutting.

    Well of course it’s my opinion. But it’s an opinion based on owning and using battery saws in tree work for a while. Yours is based on having a play one time on a course. At the moment they can’t match the power of the bigger saws. Doesn’t mean they aren’t preferable for other work.

    Buy multiple batteries. You never had to refill your saw with petrol?

    Like crime in a multi storey car park, you’re wrong on many levels.

    Battery blower is great, would recommend, never use the petrol ones these days, especially good for cleaning radiators on chippers etc. You don’t need huge power to turn a fan, and there’s no resistance so suits battery power.

    Don’t be daft, they grow back in the spring.

    Here we go then. Lewis Capaldi not strictly my cup of tea, but did well. Looking forward to Alanis Morrisette.

    Bugger!
  22. Mick Dempsey
    Mea culpa

    A new low for this site.

    Thanks Jase, Oak removal today, should be routine enough, can park alongside etc. Last day of normal (29 degrees) before another heatwave. Secured a decent clearance job last night. The wolf, whilst still in plain view on the drive, has at least moved away from the door a bit!

    @woody paul depending on the thickness, those battery loppers are brillliant for regrowth like that.
