I bought the cheapest bare Makita one a few years ago, think it was £99 and have abused it at work ever since, still as good as it was when I first got it. Definitely not a must have tool but bloody useful nonetheless, especially for wheel changes!!

Can you elaborate on this? Are you saying all ash felling should be done via mechanised means? Is there more info on ash trees killing people? Genuine questions, just want to be in the know!

I've seen a few of that guy's videos. The thing I like about him is that he makes mistakes and shows them, and also doesn't seem to be a massive know it all.

Whereabouts are you? It's quite popular for smoking (food, I should add).

😂😂this is your answer for everything

Is there not an argument for leaving it? It clearly has dieback but I'm not qualified to say exactly how dead and rotten it is. It'll become firewood and if it were to fail they wouldn't be fussed if it went into the woodland behind it apparently. Is there a typical age/maturity of ash trees that are prevailing against dieback? There are certainly some older ash trees in the area that seem to be doing well.

I've been removing young ash trees on a farm the past couple of days, nothing larger than 10 inch diameter, but the landowner has asked me to fell a bigger one he says is too rotten and dead to risk leaving up. I don't know a lot about dieback but I also don't see this particular tree as more of a risk than any of the others. No footpath or public access around it, I'd rather leave it be. Thoughts?

My two cents: recently got an Edelrid Treerex, love it so far and finding it much more comfortable than the Treemotion.

Sorry for dragging up an old topic but does anyone know if the fund will be opening again? I missed the last round, frustrating.

Love that!

Thanks for all the replies folks. Used it today, I like it. Reason for wanting to try was a new for me setup: Set my line and base anchor with ultralink then set a "primary" canopy anchor, the idea being that if something fails in the tree I have the base anchor as a backup. I like the extra safety this offers but it's also a faff.
-
I'm not sure it complicates much...?

Have seen this before but not tried...
-
Picked one up today, yet to use it and the recall stuff does make me nervous but it does seem like a good bit of kit. I'll only be using it for base anchors so in theory it shouldn't get moved around or knocked by anything... Anyone out there using one?
-
Oh sorry my bad.

That is shocking! I am furious for you, what a horrible, sad little man. As for "hating leaves", he might need a change in profession??? If I was in your position and things ended up getting nasty I would not hesitate to challenge his status as an "amazing gardener" by posting these before and after pics as a google review. Also, does something like this not constitute criminal damage?
