You've got my number now Ryan, Text me yours and I'll let you know when I'm driving north. I've got an off road 4x4 and winch, Tirfor,ropes and big saws. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

I'll be up your way in about 3 months. Put me down for a days volunteering. Or give me a call for advice. Saul 07376803384

Steve bullman, You know me better than that. I'm not throwing insults or swearing. As several longstanding foresters have already pointed out, the "two volunteers" if qualified would easily explain how a dynamic risk assessment and method statement should be planned. Something's not right here. I'll say no more. [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51][emoji51][emoji51]

You've completely misunderstood my point John. Are you aware of the amount of cowboys and charlatans on Arbtalk. I've met a couple. As for the thread in question, I stand by everything I've said. How can someone who knows nothing of our trade write a rams for one of the most dangerous activities in Arb. I don't write rams for low level flying??? Or construction. Encouraging this type of behaviour is reckless to say the least. I'm not trolling, I'm pointing out that it's dangerous and potentially lethal. The OP should not be writing rams for this job.

But you tell me so much... So let me explain my comment. For every single saw ticket you complete, there is several pages about risk assessment and method. If you're "highly trained" volunteers have the correct tickets and experience, they should know everything you have asked. And as for a complete amateur coming onto a professional arborist website and asking highly suspicious questions. Yes one of us is a helmet/cowboy. [emoji3][emoji12][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Big trek. I'm looking for something a bit more local to Huddersfield. [emoji106]

What do you charge for the b+e exam?

Cheers bud, I passed my driving test Feb last year, Had some bad experiences as a kid in vehicles. Bought my first ride 1st march 18. Would still be curious to know how much I can legally tow behind a disco2 with only a b license [emoji106]
-
Both my driving instructors (Of 30+yrs exp) swore blind I wouldn't be allowed to tow any form of trailer without the B+E.[emoji848] So with a B license and a 2.5ton Discovery what can I tow with brakes? [emoji106]
-
Ask your 2 "highly qualified volunteers "[emoji848] They should have all the answers you need.[emoji23] Or qualified but completely inexperienced?[emoji57] Maybe get a professional who is experienced? [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Serious chipper[emoji3][emoji106] Does it have a winch to feed? What did you pay in the end? [emoji106]

Looks small for 75 horses, What does it weigh? How big will it chip? The le Bon coin link is dead.

Bit summery yesterday [emoji3][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Get loads of stickers cut, stack it high with a big off cut on top.[emoji106] The only wood I've had split regularly is sweet chestnut. But still useful stuff. I haven't made a resin table yet, but I'm starting to think about it. [emoji106]

You in Brighton?

I chainsaw mill professionally all over the uk. Big J is absolutely right. Don't turn that incredible tree into sawdust!!! [emoji12][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

240cm is big bandsaw territory [emoji106]

This is another photo of the oak when I was milling it, Notice the end is clean as it was trimmed. Looks good to me. [emoji106]

Often the bar length is only the cutting part. I think you'd be fine with a 72" but to be sure you'd be better asking RobD on here. He's also a bit of an authority on double headed mills. [emoji106]

Condition? In what sense? The beech was solid enough to be carried out of the woods for 100m By two men. The oak is 3" and solid. As I didn't see any of the trees standing it's hard to know what kind of tension and compression forces were at play. The heavily spalted beech with holes will be good for resin work. Couldn't honestly say about 2-3 years from now. But if they split it's waney edge with resin river tables. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

That's some impressive wood. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

I've had to smash the metal grate out of a tree before stump grinding. [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51]
