Dropped a fallen dead Willow and made it safe as it was in a primary school today, might be shooting up to St Andrews tomorrow for a two day felling operation -if all goes to plan. Hopefully the snow doesn't fall too heavily as I hate cold feet!

bobdoesit

Just finished that job (2 pines & beech) have posted some pics already, it should have only taken 3-3 & half days in the end it took 5 days to complete. Reason, wet weather and snow slowed everything up, plus did leave early a few times because we were soaked and cold.
Going to look at a couple of jobs now, then got one or two jobs on the books for next week.
Weather supposed to be going cold here again early next week, not looking forward to that.
Well this time last year we were on route to New Zealand OMG it,s 12 months only seems like a couple of weeks ago, how time flies. Well good news is we will be coming back to N Z next year (for wife,s 50th) not sure when yet. So this time i will try and make arrangements to meet up with some of you guy,s in N Z if thats possible??? lets hear from you guy,s out there.
Well they are saying that the recession here is over, well i,ve yet to see the signs myself.
Well i think i will have to go look at the work now cheers all.


And hey, Climb safe out there.

Hello therrin
I've been servicing everything I can while the country dries up and decided my old 034av had to be replaced so have just bought an MS 362 from the US. Any ideas where I might download a manual from?

Hi Therrin,
The funny thing with Soil Nutrition is that it is probably THE most important thing when it comes to growing plants or transplanting trees etc, but probably gets the LEAST consideration.........people cant be expected to know about it. That means my business has grown exponentially as we assist growers of all types improve their soils and, intern sucess rates. From Japan to India...from Singapore to Sydney....there are growers everywhere that can benefit.
I am having an arm wrestle at the moment with some engineers doing a major sports complex who want 150mm/hr haudraulic conductivity in the soil profile. Thats OK if you want to play on the surface 15 minutes after a rainstorm but it makes it difficult to grow healthy grass. But, as always, ther are ways around it....they just havent got their heads around it yet as they do soil texture and not soil nutrition.
Cheers

I got 3 Beech to crown thin with a slight reduction on Wednesday.
Then rest of the week i,ve got (we,ve) got an Ash and a Lombardy Poplar to take ivy off, just waiting for the go ahead for Thursday on that job. Will post pics because the ivy is very dominant on their host,s. Will take befor and after pic,s.
As Leroy said, i to would love to come and live in N Z and work there. Will be comming over next year for my wifes 50th so any offers i will chat to you in N Z. Love you,r country.
Enough for now.

And hey, Climb safe out there.

I have only been in the tree bus for 2 years now and im good at what i do but i want to be better because i know i can. Thanks for your time too. Have a nice night

Victor Lindsay

Had my arss handed to me today. $182.00 for six hours work. I don't know what i was thinking when i bid this job. One removal and some clean up...I bid 300.00, all dibris went in his bin. Removal was spot on, only toke 15 minutes start to cleanup, but the clean up of some debris...!...F#@%!!

Bruce Hopf

Don't feel bad. We have all had made mistakes like this. No one is perfect. I know that it steams a person, when we make them, but I'm quite sure that you won't do it again, any time soon. Have a . Bruce.

Eric Frei

Don't you just love it when the pile of crap you quoted to take away gets way bigger in size when you arrive?

I have taken out my camera at the quote and advised them if the size of the pile increases so does the price.

Im working on a 500 acre clear cut trying to get all the big trees and junk ones outso new ones can grow. Its kind of a big project for 3 people to tackle but were doing ok.

Apocalypsse

Man its been a while since ive posted here. Things of note really, working @ Freemasons where they are doing huge renovations. We had to clear out this garden that was right outside the windows of the aged care facility. Had one old lady come out and call my actions evil and she went to lunch so she didnt have to see. Once I was a couple of metres off the ground and had scarfed out 1 part of the birch another lady upstairs comes out looks at the tree and starts crying, didnt know what to say.
The day before that the rains came down haaaard as I was driving the truck back to the yard through the city. All the streets were flooded, being the young driver that I am I was forced to drive through the puddles, the only hit I got was a bus shelter that was protecting people. But while I was waiting at the lights there were these 2 people standing on the corner with a mother frakkin huge puddle next to them. So this Astra wagon comes screaming through the puddle and drenches them both even further.
But unfortunately for me I caught my coworkers cough and it got shitty over the weekend, yesterday @ TAFE it wasnt much better even though TAFE was fun until I got clocked in the head by a stub I cut off, missed the helmet and hit my forehead...

This is what i,ve been working on the last few day,s.
1 Ash covered in ivy.
2 Lombardy Poplar allso covered in ivy.
What a job took 2 of us 2 days to clear the Ash, we have been working on the Poplar for 1 day so far.
Here are some pics of the job so far.
1st the Ash.

Now here is the Poplar just as we started it.
Notice the bracket Fungi i uncovered on branch in the Poplar.

It,s a real test of fitness getting through the ivy up to a suitable anchor point. Only used hand saw and pruners to remove it.
Good fun but cold, allso makes a change not using a chainsaw in the tree.
The Ash had bracket fungi too and a green stick fracture right through the trunk at about 20 feet from the ground.




And hey, Climb safe out there.
Rob.

justintrees

Just the usual - trying to keep all my machines, vehicles, saws and customers in order - and looking forward to treating myself to a new saw.
Got problems with a very weak spark on my 361 (can feel it but not see it) Is it the coil, the module, or the wiring?

Hopefully a look on here will give me some clues!

Cheers

LANIE

I have a plant nursery and I also do landscaping and more i am not the big bragging tipe but i have 75 gardens that i maintain and more.

Bruce Hopf

Check to see, if there isn't a crack in the plug wire, and it isn't shorting out anywhere (a quick test, place your hand on the crank case, pull the starter rope, and see if you can feel a shock, if so, that is your problem). Hope this helps a bit. Bruce.
