Tree monkey 1682

To be honest that orange one you posted looks like an oleo mac/orange efco ..but wouldn't touch anything lower than a mitox ....atleast it's been proved to be safe !

Don't do it😆 when I Was a chunky monkey due to medical condition and side effects of the medication .... I landed myself in a river up north ..the branch in question was over a 1ft round ...I guess from memory it was a willow ... Other dire trees are like poplar also quite brittle.

It's a street tree ,the get pruned heavily due to the liability aspect or what the tree contract dictates

I've got a mitox top handle ,to be fair it's a great saw ....lightweight quick cutter and no issues ,unlike my still 201t that has never ran right irrespective of a new carb fitted .also I had 4 echo saws in for repair all not oiling all fixed under warranty .. But I've got to say the mitox top handle is quite good dunno about their traditional saw as above

Actually further reading it seems like an in or out job ...client should have chosen better builders to start with ...

We had a walnut once on the floor so we started clearing it up like a windblown....it self righted the next day and is still near on vertical to this day. Can you not reduce canopy over a succession of years so it doesn't stress tree out and tree will come back ?

I thought no one really did hedges due to the nesting season which ends Sept, the problem is are clients prepared to wait that long? But this seems a new law or amendment to existing laws ....

Hahaha, benefit of the doubt , you aren't doing me any favours ! At the end of the day you had a professionals advice I'd have taken it... all you need to do is what's been done to the bark,but in simplistic terms ...what's happened to the tree is the same as you sticking your hand in a fire ! If i was going to give you advice which I won't because of the attitude I'd start talking in Latin names and giving you suggestions of what to do instead ....but I'd never have brought a house with a footpath at the end of the garden!! But i bet you it's the same with builders - a mate used to get that alot and by the end of it the client thought they were the professional often saying ,how long it would take ,how much it would cost ..etc All I was saying is the is nothing you can do, simple as ...you can be as sarcastic as you want....but don't forget she might read this and think f this I'm not working for him!! Blacklisting still happens . Other thing is we've got pre nvq people who can identify if a shrub or tree is dead or dying ! All the best .

357 was sluggish compared to the 254xp...350 almost beat the 357xp

What I don't understand, is the following If the trees are valuable then, why have a fire under them? B) if you've already had a tree surgeon out surely you must not trust him if you're after a second opinion? C) as much as are opinions are varied you can't expect us to give you advise on trees we've not even seen? I mean it'd be like asking a builder to build things with no plan! D) I didn't realise that the average Jo had access to this site for free info.... Maybe we should ask for something of munitary value, to go to an arb charity or air ambulance charity..... After all this is our profession, time, knowledge and ultimate our unique skill set they are getting getting free... As for being a c word, well surely we have all seen how forest fires start and how well conifers burn... Surely it wasn't wise to light a fire underneath to start with... This is just mearly an observation not a moan..

Take it off and put a loncin engine on it, Honda engines aren't great anymore... Even from new... Tempromental shites

Add a photo and we can tell 🙄.. I don't think it's great having a fire under trees 😂

What does the foliage look like?

I paid 30k in 2001 for lode lane to build a sv based on a tomb raider defender, I dread to think what that would be worth now if it wasn't stolen. I've another high spec defender now county td5 pickup, 30k on the clock 7 Yrs ago and I dread to think what that'd be worth also!

If you look on ebay, the was someone doing alloy chip/tipper bodies in stoke

Should you even be near a chainsaw?

Beech end grain

Yes I get that, I'm sure e strauss makes lidls work trousers

To be honest, stihl are dire for it, I don't know about husqvarna but I've moved away from the big two and stick to echo.... Seem to be better so far 😂 Didn't know strauss did chainsaw clothing, in fact very suprised!

Really 🤣🤣not farmed out to flip and flop?

Would help first if they could make chainsaws, gaskets missing in 201ts and then an ms250 that never was right.. Oh and an ms 200t that ran like shit... Was just thinking hope there glass is good, then thought it's Chinese 💩

Didn't want the finance element of it, for me continual things on finance isn't good,, it's probably why so many construction firms going bump, firms living beyond there means rather than assets being owned.... Should things start getting awkward you can sell things off or at end of useful life you can sell stuff on.... If dealers are twats I just walk away, I've no interest In time wasters or people thinking their doing me a favour

No poor negotiating skills here, they just refused the cash, due to what I quoted. If you want something new or specialist I doubt if you'd get a discount on that. But from what I've seen near me the eurocomach are well built machines, thes still some on the continent in the original colours. Cat... Been and gone now made in China upto ten tons... I'd rather have a lui gong and know what I'm dealing with. As far as I know yanmar are still good, but I don't rate the big three now, seems like they're building machines down to a price... Rather than Korean or Chinese machines are built upto spec.. But I'd need to look over a machine and where the local fitter was, and call out fees etc

Thanks, I've brought a few new machines.. Never been able to haggle or get a discount, that was the way it is, really after to be honest 2001, due to the money laundering and terrorism act post 9/11. You can't count the new holland agri dealers as construction... Farmers always bleat they've got no money and yes they have to sit on certain stock. But if you went into a case dealership and tried to haggle I doubt you'd get far... I still know some people waiting on machines to come in a be prepped. I went in to buy a 2.7ton digger from new holland dealer new old stock as you said , ram was weeping, algae growing around the window, no warranty and a dent where they'd turned the quick hitch around and put a dent in the dipper.. Would they correct the faults or give warranty or discount nope.. That was a 3 Yr new old stock machine (kobelco). So it didn't get sold... Also when I last spoke to dealers dependant on where you are in the UK is dependant on what you pay... Example is a Hitachi digger was cheaper in Scotland than the south by 2.5k. I queried it with Hitachi... Maybe im surrounded by shite dealers (I doubt as they not be in business still!) But that's how I've found things. Also cnh group has parted ways with hyundai, now part of the devlon (doosan) group. Cnh group have now purchased a new mini digger manufacturer, that I can't remember who it was, and now they produce there mini and midi machines.

Hi doobin, Hate to say it but you are very out of touch with the construction side of things, most machines on site get chopped in either by three or five years, this is either best residual value or from a hire perspective less things to go wrong or if they do they're on warranty. Regards to buyers market, genuinely the are waiting lists on machines, people like Hitachi you pre order machines a year in advance of needing them, thus keeping Hitachi machines artificialy high irrespective of a recession. You can't haggle or knock down a dealer, you either buy it or don't.. Thes not many old machines out there any more, most were exported , the ones knocking around are old knackers or the exporters weren't intrested in. Also the gets a point when machines aren't viable to "fix". This comes from someone who spends summer on diggers and autumn, winter on trees.
