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

Mike Poor · 6th March 2007, 09:57 AM

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

Drouin Tree Service · 23rd March 2007, 04:45 PM

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.

Drouin Tree Service · 23rd March 2007, 04:49 PM

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

Eric Frei · 23rd March 2007, 08:57 PM

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?

Drouin Tree Service · 26th March 2007, 11:13 PM

Took the tilt tray to load a log.

Joking the clutch fried

Eric Frei · 26th March 2007, 11:17 PM

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.

Drouin Tree Service · 26th March 2007, 11:24 PM

Just going down the highway,hoping its not more!

TreeCo · 27th March 2007, 01:33 AM

Good luck with that clutch! My F350 4wd needs a clutch and a cracked bell housing replaced soon. I'm considering doing it myself but I'm backed up a bit with tree work at the moment.

Eric Frei · 28th March 2007, 09:01 AM

My ute blew the clutch hose yesterday, fluid squirting everywhere except the slave cyclinder.

Had to drive from north side to south with no clutch trying to not crunch it. Total cost for my repair will be $69 for a 1' piece of clutch hose ... unless ya strip the nuts etc.

Drouin Tree Service · 26th April 2007, 10:38 PM

Drouin Tree Service · 26th April 2007, 10:53 PM

TrevMcRev · 26th April 2007, 11:42 PM

Drouin Tree Service · 28th April 2007, 10:44 PM

Eric Frei · 29th April 2007, 12:04 AM

Drouin Tree Service · 1st May 2007, 10:12 PM

Old chairlift run looking down to mountain ash coups.

Chipper chips.

Arborist cuts,Victorian Ekka drags out branches,i look busy with camera.

Arborist say enough,we say ok.

Hi Tech tree guys we know everything.

Eric Frei · 1st May 2007, 10:19 PM

Great pics Lopa.

So this is a snow gum? Fully grown?

I love the gnarly way the branches go, how do they go in low lands and suburbia?

What does the plaque say?

Drouin Tree Service · 1st May 2007, 10:22 PM

I dont know how they go in lower altitudes Ekka,the heads get all iced over and hang low some creak and snap but pretty strong ,heavy timber.

Are gums ever fully grown???
