  1. stihl x flex are type c with vent zips fairly robust arbotch have a couple of newer pairs with more robust outer covering but cant comment on wearability
  2. or the rigging rope you already have hooked into the tree? thats usually what i use
  3. what kind of abuse work is worth a whole chainsaw not just the chain?
  4. yes the tree surgeon should have investigated yes the sales contract probably should have picked it up if the felled tree was dead or dangerous you can have it under exemption the missing trees probably were felled under similar exemptions probably worth having a local tree surgeon help dig into where the missing ones went and straighten it up with the council sharpish so they dont hit you with it at a later date.
  5. all my chainsaws are electric battery chainsaws, charged on site using a petrol generator, or corded saws for bigger stuff, run off same generator carbon zero here we come!

    Trees and TPO

    this is why you pay a professional to do it
  7. im a tree surgeon. i dont have a log fire. if those logs are at a residential/ commecial address from a tree cut on site and left, i would charge £50 to remove them. if i had a log fire and was burning them, i would pay £0 to collect from same as above. my business side is saying if i cut the tree and someone passing asks to take the logs i should suggest some beers in trade, but if im not loading them on and delivering them then logs are usually free to take as long as theyre gone when i want to clear the site. im guessing the situation here is joe bloggs had his oak tree cut down, negotiated a cheaper price for logs left on site, couldnt be arsed chopping it and is now seeking payment for you to remove something thats cluttering his garden.
  8. i agree, double washing line. see im making it at about 10 metres, but your bottom line looks slightly higher than my mark. i was taking the top of the dark brown fence panel at 2 metres. i also agree with climb and strip over a straight drop. looks more professional and however good you are on a straight drop theres a risk of taking some plants out unnecessarily and youre left with more messing to cut and stack. if it was local, id be around 200 for taking it down, brash stacked, logs stacked. 80 quid for a straight drop and go, no logging no stacking.
  9. 6 metre?
  10. if it gets to liverpool theyll make it a tourist attraction
  11. buxtons are in the midlands, well worth a go. or forest and arb are in winchester.
  12. you mean thinner oil like stihl synth plus?
  13. do they make it better? yes. case closed. now go away or I shall taunt you a second time
