  1. Councils are too slow felling old,dangerous trees... Can think of about 3-4 incidents of children being injured or fatally ..due to trees that should of been removed. Get over it ,it's a tree,trees get old,weak and fail. Does make u wonder how the weight of a few children makes a limb fail .
  2. Pathetic, it's not my fault that stihl in Surrey has a German technical advisor called hans . At the end of the day it's meant to be a forum ...it's not my fault I've upset a woke ,net zero bunch of lovies. I used what I've found best if I've tried battery and found it to be shite...then so be it.Equally if it works for you that's fine but it's as I've found them ..and I won't convert to battery ..il stick to aspen and we'll maintained equipment .
  3. When I last spoke to hans like I said in stihls tech department the were saying they never could match petrol power .just wasn't possible .
  4. That's your opinion ,I'd not wanna use battery as I think they're crap . According to hans at still technical in Surrey..they won't ever be able to fully replace petrol chainsaws ....
  5. Well you'd look a dick going to a customer oh can I charge my battery halfway through a job .
  6. Used a battery saw at the nptc training centre, I can't say I'd use anything battery ,noisey ,slow and bulky.... then u have the hassle if it fell out of the tree...and have u got enough charge to do the job or keep going . Probably excellent for a part time gardener/landscaper. Then thes the hassle of ♻️ and trashing of the earth for unique elements ..😐 Don't know why they don't force everyone onto aspen and bio oil . Problem solved
  7. Don't think so bud ,I might be completely wrong ...but by the time uk docs find out what it is ...most of the time it's too late as it often behaves like a regular fever .. nothing distinctive
  8. Quickly do it whilst thes no one in the house ! ,if thes a chain link fence in there .then that would be your boundary... Did a tree once like that in north Dorset..the person still alive footed the bill and no one seemed to mind .
  9. Thes a few old 353, 365, 372 xps and 395s around , there new but I don't buy the it's made in Brazil, after all the Chinese copy anything ..but I'd not know what to look for...I'm glad I kept my efco 199 as the doesn't seen any clones of it !
  10. I used a mates fag and it let go head and all
  11. It's a shit way to go,someone local to me had developed it after going to Glastonbury think 36 months later and he was dead from it ...slow and painful way to go...often mistaken for a fever .. Good article and comment
  12. None of my comments have called u an idiot 🙄
  13. I'd say it would have been doomed not only due to it being close to the house but also I think most time the is root damage the poor tree doesn't stand a chance let alone some fk hard going at it with a stump grinder .
  14. That's the thing ,it's a forum,all of us have came across different situations ,different scenarios, different problems. And we all have different answers . At the end of the day the person wanting advice could take take it with a pinch of salt or alternatively pay for a consultants time ..then it would be settled ..what he does with a reports then down to the householder .
  15. Without sounding a knob, no one can unless they've gone looked and seen how much the stump grinders churned up and gone in the soil ..yes you can make a guesstimate by how much chip in in the soil .
  16. Yes it might do, but unless you've been there to the site ,you can't comment on grinding depth ..but being opposite from a school ,damaging the rootplate isn't clever ..yes they grow out on anything .. buy it'd all about liabilities ...especially a school opposite and social housing !
  17. Trees knackered because of what's been done by the so called contractor ...due to it being by a school ,just added to the risk.. you only grind roots on trees you want out ,not live trees ....as the roots are anchors .
  18. And you can't rescue /salvage pigeons due to them feeding off there mothers crest milk . Crows/ corvids if I've found them in a tree I've felled then I re home them...and the is still a few locally that will come if called by a human ......
  19. Meaning ?🤣. Yes I have horses ,yes I've almost had a career in eventing or looking after the Queens horses..my assests are all paid for unlike most on the equine circuit. And yes I've known alot of equine women to know how they operate...like a flee to a deer.. and bloke buys them A horse that they can't ride ..🐎 gets blamed for it and gets sold on yet it's an incompetent rider .champagne eyes and coca cola performance .
  20. You ll be a bit fkd anyway pigeons breed all year round
  21. Meaning or point being?
  22. Don't get iszuzu farriers got one ... twin turbo model, forever having issues with the dpf and other sensors it's thrown out and the cost of parts were nuts even scrap yard parts ..running into thousands . If you've got to get something get a Toyota...I would of suggested a land-rover but can't get parts easily for them now either ..
  23. I try not to work for the equine types u either have women in jods thinking their gods gift to mankind or the other type that think they've made it ...yet it's a rented house ,expensive 4x4 on lease hire ...and they couldn't ride there hubby for the love of God.. let alone a horse
  24. Haha ,they won't pay if theve got horses ,there the worst people going 🤣 he will ho down lidl buy a chainsaw and do it himself!
  25. There getting funny on it now as it's now classed on par with Japanese knot weed ,himalayan balsam ,giant hogweed .but I know on my policy ,I can't do or remove anything to do with the plant... l but bamboo is reclassified ... it travels far,can come up through concrete .. because of its rhizomes ... and it's an absolute bastard to deal with .
