  1. Past hour
  2. Having regularly used sign tree work sign language it's fairly easy to communicate without radios when you work with the same guys for a while. Things like beer. Cigarettes , fuel and food are simple hand gestures..
  3. Today
  4. OK thanks. Have you seen both saws side by side to see that?
  5. I known of many 500i's in use none have yet to have problems..
  6. SHOUTING AND HAND SIGNALS IS CHEAP! These look interesting though, looking forward to hearing how they perform.
  7. Hi, just put mine up for sale, here on Arbtrader if anyone wants a purpose built, strong TD5 tipper All the best Nathan
  8. I'll pop you a quick video on next time I am ropewalking. Just a more streamlined storage system for the knee ascender bungee
  9. To be honest the milling I do when I’m home is far harder with longer days and some serious graft involved , more so than i ever do in my day job. I know I’m getting a decent wage and appreciate it.

  14. Back in 2020, when my nephew was out here working, he bought and fitted some cheap coms units, worked very well, then they died, and he left. So it was back to hand signals and shouting. My newest hired man (18years old) is very into the gear side of things so we’ve got this coming tomorrow. Seems to get good reviews on Amazon. I’ll let you know how they work out.
  15. It’ll go on a shelf and be used for spare parts if I do bother with another one. I’m pretty disappointed in it tbh, not sure I’m in a rush to buy another.
  16. Our Forest School would be very grateful to receive clean wood chip for the paths.
  17. Keeping them standard for a bit. See what they are like first. Might get the 72 done at some point who knows

    Private home, will pay for clean chippings
  19. Technology and comms products are no doubt evolving. How are we keeping up? What's out there now that wasn't out there five years ago? I'm still using ebay Freedconn motorcycle intercoms self-fitted into a pair of helmets. Haven't felt much need in the six or seven years I've probably used comms to have more than two way conversation. Certainly never wanted comms outside of my helmet. Was just pushed an advert for these. https://www.okmilo.com/en-gb/ They won't be any good on loud sites. Helmets are still king there. One of the underrated benefits of helmet comms is being able to talk to someone three feet away, muffs down, over a background din or facing different directions etc. Perhaps these might be useful for a site with a load of battery and silky pruning happening all over the place, a few climbers up and one groundsman nipping round untying the odd bit of tail rigging etc. Easy to hand out to whoever, no hygiene issues sharing helmets. Major downside is lack of privacy. Client will hear your group chat... Nothing groundbreaking. Just saw them and got me thinking.
  20. Ive not heard of that being a common complaint, so Id say your just unlucky. If its out of warranty, its still a valuable and sought after saw, so still probably worth fixing. Don't use the saw before then incase the bearing disintegrates and does further damage.
  21. I watched DMM's video on it and I still can't tell what it does. Could you take a picture or something of it all in use please. Make it obvious. I'm clearly not very intelligent today.
  22. Yeah, it is nice because you can get the ascender on and off without it pulling up the line like usual
  23. 545 is same weight as a 550xp but less power so I can't see whats the point of it is as its hardly much cheaper?
  24. That's a breeze here. When it gets to 75mph them it's time to put stuff away
