The guy on the sledgy looked a tad stuffed by the time it went over.

Hey A Lopa, those are some amazing photos to say the least!!!

This gum is a freinds tree there daughter planted it,they had a freind spike it and lop it about 3 years ago and it had a fair amount of regrowth.

They wanted it to get a "haircut" not be removed so got a tower in and "vased" it.

Spotted the plane tree log going down the road from a few weeks back.

Whilst you did the best you could for drop crotching, that tree is a POS now ... you know that. As arbo's we see things in 5 to 10 years time and know what's likely

... please recommend to your friend it adjoins the London Plane log on that truck.

Now those small dia branches will try to assume apical dominance, they're going to do it so much better than the original piece that was cut off.

You could perhaps support him to prosecute the original lopper idiots that stuffed it. Some distinctive breaches of AS4373, I wonder, did they make your friend aware of the consequences of spur climbing and topping or just dive in for the cash? Obviously they didn't consider walking away if in fact your friend was adamant.

Funny how it happens all around us. Funny how often your advice comes after the bad work.

Maybe if people got off there "free advice" and "free quotes" bargains they might get some real healthy factual and scientifically bonfied advice ... not ole Joe spitting thru his missing teeth saying "yeah love, we'll cut'r in alf for ya, they'll bush up real good".

Well, what's the story?

a_lopa · 26th March 2007, 04:13 AM

Took the tilt tray to load a log.

Joking the clutch fried

Ekka · 26th March 2007, 04:17 AM

Usually they slip a little but you must have done the pressure plate in?

Heavy load up a hill? Or just wear and tear?

Mine cost $800 for the lot fitted.

a_lopa · 26th March 2007, 04:24 AM

Just going down the highway,hoping its not more!
