if you are concerned about your age and fitness, then look into to changing your climbing kit, dont be stubborn and say prusik will do, get to one of the shows and have a play, its free and very eye opening. A new harness, rope, some vt,hitch climber,pantin and a ropeguide and you will be amazed at the diference, and with new silkys on the market, you can tackle 8" timber with out a saw buzzing all day, the modern new small chippers can make a huge diference in competitive pricing, you have experience on your side and knowledge, use this and good customers will seek you out

Hi Stevie, thanks for the advice, ive got some re-learning to do and some money to spend, im all for modernising and making life that little bit easier, youre a big fan of small chippers(ive seen some of your other posts/threads)do you use a larger chipper as well or does gloria do all your chip work?I like the idea of minimal brush dragging and saving on labour costs, reckon i'll be speaking to Jonesie in the near future.

 

Cheers buddy:thumbup:
