If you think they are reputable bite their hand off at 750. Check if that’s plus VAT. It’s certainly a cheap price. Get a couple more quotes and average them out. If 750 is still way cheaper have a second think about it. Cheaper isn’t always better.

Exactly that mr stubby. Exactly that.

Looks like most of it’s be done for them [emoji23] Always easy to comment from a keyboard but i would definitely say a key factor in repeat business is going the extra yard to leave a job mint. In a saturated market full of tree surgeons its little details that keep customers [emoji106]
-
Total madness. Totally unacceptable doing that to a customers garden especially when they have the kit to not to do it. A little bit more care and that garden would be left mint.

Cork tree. Or as dalton correctly says , phellodendron amurense

Cheers. [emoji106]

Any more details on it ?

Ask Santa for some track matts for Christmas...... Chuck some boards on the deck around the stump too. Makes clearing up a whole lot easier and leaves the job looking really good after you are done.

Well that was a good chuckle catching up on this thread this morning. Good old keyboard slug fest [emoji23]

The mafell would certainly be top choice. All track saws are a fair some of money if they aren’t a tool of your trade. In all honesty chap you could buy any of the big brands. Makita dewalt Bosch hitachi etc and they will all do a great job and exactly what you want. One important thing is look at what you have already or what you might want and invest in one brand so it’s all interchangeable and you don’t need lots of batteries and chargers. I’ve not looked at the makita 40v platform yet. That’s pretty new to the market
-
Until you have used mafell and then wondered why you bothered with festool [emoji23]
-
Mafell. Outstanding kit.

Just picked up the demo saw from honeys. Looking forward to testing it next week. It will be available for demo again in the new year

Honeys and FR Jones are the same on price for saws. I think they do the biggest volumes and are just about the cheapest dealers in the country as far as I know. Depending where you are travelling from honeys new shop is worth a trip.
-
Still a much better price at honeys even if you can’t claim vat. Only and extra £50 quid for a 41” bar and chain for your felling and cross cutting. I would imagine that would cost just over a couple hundred quid to buy a bar and chain like that [emoji106]
-
Yup, as the side says , that one is definitely ‘in situ’ [emoji23] Or as I might say it’s in a bit of a shituation.
-
Only £1124 on a 41” bar at honeys. Or £1349 if you have to soak up the VAT.

Cable bracing and inspection qualifications?

It’s quite enjoyable to install I find. It’s all down to every trees individual assessment. It can really mitigate invasive pruning for the right tree. I did a lot of them this year off the back of a very comprehensive survey on a large site. It certainly managed and retained some prominent and worthy trees. The project is still ongoing so no doubt will be doing more. The first survey cost them £12k. Survey 2 starts in the new year .. ouch. Good for me though [emoji106] -
Get it bought. Drill the bar and have the extra hopper to keep things lubricated. Go for a lopro bar and chain. I’d imagine that is the biggest thing you can do to reduce stress on the saw in milling so far as I know. Apart from a helper saw at the other end. Not much else too it. By virtue the Alaskan set up is very simple so not many options. I don’t know if there is a panther at that size. That’s a fair length bar.

Nice. I caught this little one and released him elsewhere. Somewhere not near my chickens and ducks ......

More acknowledgment and management of it. You already know the tree has a risk and you’re doing something about it. -
Looks like a nice dismantle for the new year.
-
I’m not sure why or how you would go into a forest through the kitchen [emoji23] They definitely have their place but they certainly ain’t quick [emoji38]
-
Just by a bandsaw mill and not worry about it. Woodland mills seem a fair price and look half decent. Any chainsaw milling is slow.

You may have it covered but if you are inspecting someone else’s work and giving an assessment/ report on it you will need to make sure the indemnity part of your policy covers you for such , they will most likely want that qualification evidenced for you to do such so the course sounds a must for you.
