long or short gaffs ???

[combined tree services]

hi guys i have got loads of monterey pines to take down over the next couple months , any way i was down in my unit earlyer looking at the spare set of bashlin alloy spikes and thought about putting a set of long gaffs on them to get through ther thick bark on the montereys but have never used long gaffs before and was wondering if any of you have done this before ?? also what are your thoughts on long gaffs ??

 

cheers Dave

Yes.Long gaffs are horrible,Get the short pairs but dont stand up straight in them

interesting mate what are the pitfalls with long gaffs then ??

[atree]

You feet shake around to much because there so long and cant balance very well,thats what i found with them,I just got a pair of bashlin and they r the nuts

fook the long gafs then , did you get the velcro pads for your bashlins ??

[atree]

I did have the velcro's on my old spike's but they when through the chipper,they were ok but couldnt get them tight enough

i have a set without the cinch bar and find them awkward to get tight enough but i think i will get another pair with the cinch bar fitted (the steel loop bit )
