Hi Josh,

 

Is the ratchet wedge still going strong? 

 

I've just bent my second tree jack and need to start considering an alternative.

Too many pasties from Greggs ?  bottle jack may be better or throw line and tirfor.  K

Tirfor is a good shout but they are a bit of a time sapper. More suited to tree surgeons I think where you can charge £1000 per tree!?

I would say if you have a few to do, its quicker as one bloke throwing line n setting winch, other bloke felling. Do you want to borrow mine fr the winter?  K

That's a very kind offer, thanks.

 

I try to steer clear of ropes and cables as much as possible, but if I get myself in a muddle I'll let you know.

I use Series II capstan fr small stuff usually, but that Tirfor seen some big stuff over, not that i do that  anymore. K

Yep still going strong! 
 

Well the casting inside did crack, the factory wanted it for inspection rather than send parts out and fixed it free of charge which I wasn’t expecting, great service! 

 

it’s a valued tool in the truck, by the time @Kriss has lugged his tirfor and wire out the truck never mind the anchor, rope, throw line, or untangling the throw line or the hundred push n pulls of the tirfor lever, the tree’d be on the deck with the wedge
