Neighbour's application to cut back my tpo'd tree
kram replied to LilyLangtree's topic in Trees and the Law
I would suggest, as soon as practical, get some fencers out to put a decent, concrete post 6 ft boundry fence. Let the fencers know in advance about the previous dispute and show the details if needed. Doing the fence yourself could cause the dispute to turn ugly but most bad neighbours will respect a professional doing it. Particually if they are bigger than them. -
Neighbour's application to cut back my tpo'd tree
kram replied to LilyLangtree's topic in Trees and the Law
You have not said what species of tree or its size, thats quite significant for a border and tree dispute. Why does your neighbour want the tree cut? Does he percieve it as blocking light? Perception of danger? What has he put on the TPO application? Is he wanting to side it up to his percieved boundry, top it, crown lift? A photo would answer most of that.. Until then I wonder if your neighbours request is a perfectly reasonable one. -
Just ordered some Midland Oil Group, Varol Varchain 150. 20 Litres for 34 pounds. Add to watch list, wait a day for ebay to send an offer. Go to checkout and use code SPECIAL8 Varchain 150 - 20L - Chainsaw Oil | eBay UK WWW.EBAY.CO.UK VARCHAIN 150 is suitable for applications that require a low fling lubricant. I just finished a 25L tub of Rotatech. It did the job quite nicely however there was some residue/sludge at the bottom of the drum.

Most climbers that I've met have some form of left hand or wrist cut injury, the sort that gloves would not have helped as the protection is the wrong place.

All you could do is small claims court for miniscule damages. Police will not be interested in a criminal prosecution (unless its the sycamore gap). -
Whats your usage for one? Battery does have some advantages, I like the Makita UC003, a medium sized battery topper.

How long has the boundry been incorrect? After 12 years I believe it is, the current boundry can become legally relevant. What is the tree? Have any photos showing tree and the boundry dispute? -
Dare we ask what ? I had a very easy day. Local driveway guy has a baby birch for me to pull out next week I may be able to pull it by hand, along side a similarly small elder. Roots out but they wont be big. He mentioned about moving some left over bricks, I said my friend with a van could do it, but he turned out to be too lazy. An easy 60 quid for the weeks petrol then. Some more in the front for balance.

I use the strap any time its on my head. A great annoyance is when something catches the rear quick release thing and then its wobbling loose on my head. Happens far too often. I may have to glue it closed or something. I never use it to get the thing on or off. I upgraded the ears to 3M X5's which are ok but bloody hot. SNR is not as good as I'd imagined - useless against a Stihl hedge trimmer. I'd melt if there down all day. They dont fold, soon get used to it. Seen the ears fall off others, I'd guess the little plastic stubs or bracket are worn out. Anyone want some lightly used, original protos ear denfenders and bracket for £80, in white?

A great irritation is that standards are all behind a paywall. They should be free and openly available to anyone to view. A cost should be charged to any product claiming to meet the standard. Anyone have a copy? 🫣

What a load of shite. I want to hug it with a bag of ganoderma spores!

Thats a wasp gall I think? Ages ago I asked about something on the ground, I thought was a fungus, but turned out to be a gall?

Any proper retailer including Amazon, you claim for the batteries yourself here, the T&C link has a list of all the models. Takes around 35 days to arrive. /xgt25/assets/img/Logo.png Makita Makita Professional Outdoor Power Equipment 2025 MAKITAPROMOTIONS.CO.UK Claim a Free Gift with Selected Models Theres also a promotoion for the 18v kit but I only tried one, split shaft power unit, and it was declined, the tool went straight back to Amazon.

3rd free battery arrived last week. 4th in roughtly a months time. The blower cost less than a battery would have. Want to get a double charger but its £100. *If* they did a 3 or 4 way fast charger I'd be happy with that.

Not worth fecking about with, just replace it?

@Mark_Skyland if I can ask a pedantic question, is it a clutched saw? I assume the sprocket/drum part was for the inboard brake band, but has no clutch and is directly driven by the motor with a splined shaft? Thanks

Have you charged battery? It could be that its flat at the same time to confuse matters. I've done similar things before not realised. Tried another battery? It sounds like the controller is saying "No!", could be many reasons for that, if theres no physical damage Id start with battery. It should spin without a bar or chain fitted. Usually its very difficult to kill a brushless motor. sensors out of alignment, overloaded and burnt, or bad connection from vibration. How does it feel if you turn the sprocket by hand? (I assume they are direct drive and clutchless, its a while since I used one). Generally on any brushless motor there will be strong resistance between the magnet segments, it should feel strongly notchy, but not crunchy, the bearings should feel smooth and even all the way around.

I'm blown away by how good this is! I've used quite a few BG86 and BR800's. It is not a BR800 but somewhere between the two! A lot nicer than a petrol blower to use.

Yes you dont want to be rinsing a tank out with aspen, but if its all you had, you would!🫣

I have a small one tomorrow, sorting out my 92yr old uncles garden, well away from my normal work area and arb teams. There will be a small amount of arb waste that I wont be able to take in my small car. Some hedge clippings, very small ash to remove, neighbours apple lightly pruned/shaped. Ideally suit a team that will have a part load. Park up for 5 mins and I will load it for you, and you get 60 quid, and coffee if you like. I'll clear the driveway after. There will be no stones, no dirt, no roots, just the good stuff, chippable if you have one and prefer it.

Oil tank will be fine, cleaner than normal! If its been left in for any time, it might not do the rubber parts any good as they wont be petrol spec. Petrol tank, rinse out with fresh 2t mix and discard, purge bulb a few times, discard, repeat and discard. Shouldnt have done any harm. Note that the oil fuel mix is great to keep for cleaning bars and chains.

It is possible that I could have pressed the decomp button accidently, not that I remember to press it any other time! I'll try again tomorrow! Piston, bearings, pin, and everything was well oiled with 2t for reassembly. I dont think its a Hyway as there Korean, it all said made in Italy on the boxes. Hyway use different type of plating, this looked like nikasil, not that I have any expereince comparing them, but from photos, they look different. @pleasant Yes it should be, Husqvarna OE one thats recommended by many and sold by LSE, results seem accurate and consistent.

"Why it only makes 120 psi" is the question, as the quality of the Meteor kit is supposed to be good. I'd suggest I have done something wrong hence why I am asking. Why must you be a massive dick about it? Go away. The studs were my own fault, I had the exhaust off before and clearly not tightened it properly. The studs did not pull out just like that. When I noticed, one bolt was gone, never to be found again but the threads were sound. I did not have a spare. I re tightened the single bolt and continued the job.. That is why it stripped, then I swapped it to the other side, finished the job. A simple 5 minute helicoil will have it repaired good as a new one. The tester holds pressure over multiple pulls so Im thinking it can only be the rings/cylinder seal. The crank seals, intake and exhaust are not going to affect the psi? - thats not to say all is good with them.

@AHPP We will have to disagree on that. It wasnt broken, it got an upgrade and has paid for itself. Anyway back to the question. Meteor cylinder kit, they were recommended as the best aftermarket option. Why is it only getting 120psi? Have I fitted it incorrectly?
