In summer 2 batteries last a day. I reckon a 3rd may be needed for winter. I do swap to a ground saw for larger cuts more frequently than when I used petrol climbing saws. Large cuts noticeable drain the battery

Well, I have gone full battery for small saws. I have a husky T540ixp, 540ixp and echo 2500t. I rate all of them, and have no interest in going back to petrol. I love the on/off switch a much better way to work over a pull start. I find now that if I use a petrol saw I think how frustrating it is to start. The T540ixp competes with the ms200's, it has differing pros and cons. The 540ixp is amazing for the majority of arb ground work, especially for jobs where the saw is start and stopped a lot. The echo is by far the best small climbing saw I've ever used.

Problem with next doors tree, advice required, thanks

Good to know, thanks -
I have been wanting to work elsewhere in Europe, mainly Scandinavia for some time but feel I missed the boat with Brexit. I have been in touch with a few companies in Sweden Who have all had similar replies, being after brexit work permits are required which take up to a year, meaning they have little interest in you. Gone are the days when you could work for a couple of months there with minimal faff. The ideal thing I'm after is short term work 1-2 months in spring. Has anyone gone through the process of gaining a work permit for Sweden or Norway since Brexit? If so how long, costly etc was it to sort out? Was a job offer required first? Thanks

-I'm unsure of Tree species -There is no set distance of which it should be planted -Unsure regarding criminal damage. I would think not. -you are entitled to prune the tree back to the boundary; above and below ground. As long as it doesn't kill the tree. So cut the roots at the boundary. They will obviously grow back though -
I take on all tasks on the ground and in trees of any size. Lots of experience as team leader, so happy to run jobs if needed. I come with climbing gear, rigging gear and saws up to 30". I have an Eder power winch 1800 which can also be hired with me for additional costs. References can be provided if requested. Give me a call if I can be of help. Josh

You have answered the question yourself I think and right in your observation assuming the srt is base tied and through or over multiple unions. A large part comes to learning what is safe to tie into with all of the factors which effect that; tree species/characteristics, angle of pull etc. Both systems are plenty safe enough used in the correct way. As mentioned by someone else a top tied srt puts the same force on your tie in point as a drt/mrt. A base tied srt has a theoretical x2 loading of the tie in point. Although in practise is less due to friction being added as the rope passes over the bark and through unions.

OK thanks for the info. I did get down to the motor bolts. The worm gear is all fine, and the pump spline rotated freely. I'll be sure to check the pipe routing
-
OK, thanks for the replies on this. I know the site to be on free draining sandstone coupled with the trees being large mature trees at the time of building, tree-related subsidence is highly unlikely. For the purposes of what I have been asked a description of the soil type and any other observations will suffice.
-
I resorted to grips in the end only to find out what you have said above. The pump is accessed from the other side. it looked like more of a faff than I was up for last night so will set to it another night. I shall check for bends in the pipe before getting a new pump. Thanks
-
Do either of these give enough detail to determine whether those soils are shrinkable?
-
Thank you

Hi. Does anyone know how to remove the sprocket on the 540ixp. I need to stop the aprocket spinning to undo the torx screw. I can't figure a way to clamp it well enough to loosen it. I need to refit the chainbrake spring and get to the oil pump. Thanks

Hi, I am looking for an online resource, paid for or free to use, that allows you to find out the soil types in the area. I am sure I have found this before on the British Geological Survey website. Although I cant see it anymore. Any help with this would be much appreciated. Thanks
-
Thank you, I shall have a read through both of those
-
Yes that it. What material slings and size do you use for your rings when setting them up with the rigging line going around the outside of the ring?
-
Do you negative rig onto the ring in this orientation with a single line at all? Or just stick to that standard way?
-
Yup. And ita for that reason I'm yet to try it..
-
That's the idea yes
-
Does anyone use a ring in the following orientation? Theory being the rope can't get pinched between. The tree and ring

Hi, As part of a development survey, I am providing recommendations for replanting. There are existing and proposed new drains in the region designated for replanting. I have been reading through UU's 'Standard Conditions for Works Adjacent to Pipelines' referencing tree planting distances which is found at the end of the document. The list is far from exhaustive. Does anyone know of a more comprehensive list of trees and distances which would cover this scenario? Thanks
-
This job does not involve the LA in any way. Its something that I've never dealt with before nor heard about any cases of. I can see arguments for both the tree is in a CA so therefore the tree in its entirety is covered. I can also see that the CA boundary is a definitive line, anything outside of that area is not covered by CA, including over hanging branches.
-
Interesting. I wander if he based that on his own judgment or knew if that is the legal standpoint?
-
It is an odd scenario. But I have been asked about it. Its not unreasonable to go with the standard CA notification to be sure. I was curious though if any one knew of any cases that would suggest anything else
