In Desperate times...My Silky saves the day!

Andy Collins · December 11, 2012

It's so frustrating trying to get people to see that it can be as quick to use a Silky in certain applications, better cuts, and so on. People just don't get it. There is also a belief that the customer is paying to hear a saw making the cuts, or else they won't be getting their money's worth () and that the tree needs a few token extra cuts so they feel that they are getting value for money (:confused1:) it's not just the clients who need educating....

Good to see people changing i used to be the same when i worked in the Uk, We work alot we may aswell enjoy it. Alot of people are negative about change and things they are unfamiliar with which isnt a good way to be.

Wise words Paul. I dismantled a large Birch over three phone lines earlier and did 50% of the crown with my Silky. Got the 200t up for the limbs and this was definitely the easiest way and it would have been slower with the chainsaw from the start. 👍

First job for the newbie an simple ariel rescue on a rather poorly silver maple...then the highlight of the day...the arrival or the shiney new stuff man from Buxtons(No pictures as i thought he might not appreciate me enthusiasticaly snapping away at stuff)..he showed us a electric Husky groundsaw...so futuristic to see the illuminated buttons pressed and the chain whizzing round silently...two modes...economy and normal...the new Edelrid "Core" harness....again,very futuristic looking with a built in "Stop"...Unfortunately i will have to wait until January to get my Tree motion..which isn,t the end of the world as i tried one last week and although it is a true innovation...for me it didn,t feel as suited to me as my Austria 2.......But he said i do have a new harness you can use until then....now this is the most bizzare part of the day ...hanging up in the Van of Shiney stuff is the brand new "TREE AUSTRIA 3.1":thumbup::thumbup: you couldn,t predict my life these days:biggrin: performed a simple rescue to test it...such a familiar fit to me...except more refined than the Austria 2 and as anyone who is a fan of the Austria Harness will know, it,s featherlite and super comfortable:thumbup1: What an unexpected kinda day finnished off with the most delicious coffee and brownie i have ever tasted for the de briefing of the day with the team....and i got a Tuefelberger Cap! took the Austria 3 home to adjust it and generally check it out.......
