be careful you dont get the wrong trousers and get stitched up by a penguin pretending to be a chicken

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
-
or the rigging rope you already have hooked into the tree? thats usually what i use

what kind of abuse work is worth a whole chainsaw not just the chain?
-
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.

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!

this is why you pay a professional to do it

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.

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.

chimpanzee surely?

6 metre?

if it gets to liverpool theyll make it a tourist attraction

buxtons are in the midlands, well worth a go. or forest and arb are in winchester.

you mean thinner oil like stihl synth plus?
-
Bloody peasant!
-
do they make it better? yes. case closed. now go away or I shall taunt you a second time
-
so they made it "pleasant" and made it "do what they want" therefore it will be better than how it started out or some stuff they didnt mess with. and therefore is going to be better to use in the saw. i fart in your general direction
-
no youre talking shit ive used cheaper mineral oils in my saws and they mank up the oiling system over time if stihl have spent time and money messing with oil and making it semi synthetic then it stands to reason theyve done something to improve it from what it started as. and again youre wrong, cos next ill be saying you smell of wee. hahahaha
-
"what sort of problems am I likely to incur after removal" surplus of cash/time from not having to keep cutting the hedges excess of groundspace in the garden
-
engineered to be better than what they started with if theyve spent time and money playing around with the base oil and making semi synthetic stuff from it then you have to hope its been improved and specifically aimed at working better with the machines they make?

manco replied to mike2736's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
1st suggestion: pay a professional arborist. bugs in crack suggests decay (or poorly fitting trousers) another agreement for leaving water in place to reduce fungal growth reduction of height can only lessen risk of failure, but i believe some/most trees respond to swaying by adding layers at weak points its gonna fail eventually, enjoy it while you can and try to keep the tops down to extend its lifespan -
i believe i specified about winching etc complicating the issue, and i was referring to the process of simply dropping the tree not messing about with other then making it complete its journey to the floor. i was looking for any possible justification for deciding to start cutting in the middle of the tree. i dont believe there is any.
-
winching etc complicating the issue. lets winch this off a strap over there and then cut here and here, and pull this way and then do that bit, etc. cranes, mewps etc all similarly complicating. simple chopping to get it on the floor then chip and log, id be climbing Tree B (which its hung up in) and stripping the branch ends of Tree A (the fallen one) back to contact points, then reducing that number of contact points to one supporting point, then chop that and watch it drop past me. not strapped into Tree A at any point, always working from a top line into Tree B. i cant see any logical reasoning for cutting it in the middle where he did.

no, "bar oil" isnt specifically wrong, im just being a tit for comic effect. also technically we should all be trying to use bio oil as much as possible anyway. im assuming synth plus by nature of being semi synthetic will have been engineered to be better than the forest plus mineral based oil. but i could be talking shite. its an assumption. it costs more, and its been engineered from mineral oil, thats my entire reasoning. the 'best' oil is gonna be the one that doesnt mank up the internals and doesnt cost a fortune. or maybe the one that doesnt kill the planet.
