ART friction saver instalation

[combined tree services]

i fanny about using one because i had the balls to give it a try and really get on with it you should try it and se how much easyer and faster it makes big tree work . putting it up is easy but the complication comes when i try to add the removal side of it , the directions that were posted by brewb are a bit hard to follow (section 5)

 

yeah we start the take down tomorrow tommer mate and really looking forward to it . hows things with you

Awesome bit of kit in the right situation IMO. Once you have one in your bag you wouldn't want to go back. Still use the basic cambium saver as well for smaller stuff.

 

Good luck tomorrow CTS. Pictures, man, pictures!

cheers mate , i would not leave home without the art gear anymore lol , have you seen the attached document from drewb ?? do you have any ideas how to set it up with the retreval bit included (section 5 on the attached doccument )

[Mark Bolam]

Sorry mate, my brain nearly melted just looking at that document.

 

I can install a standard cambium saver with a throwline, but I can't make Penzance tomorrow!

 

Get your spikes on!

glad you cant make p tomorrow mate its all mine ha ha , i am happy installing it but cant get the retrival bit sorted ha ha but does not really matter as i will be moving it throughout the day . the only off put is the fact that its fooking hot where we are working , lol but hey i will enjoy it never the less .

hey bro i dont really know how to type instructions on how to install the retrieval bit-if i get the chance ill take some photos but tbh its a real kafuffle that isnt worth the effort. like marc said-SRT up and then do the installation, much easier.

thanks drew , i was giving it a go last night getting it set up on a 6ft low limb , i can get it set up with no probs but cant seem to figure the retreval bit out yet , but thanks for the info you have sent and would be really greatfull if you did manage to take a couple pictures fr me mate ,

I think this is how its done. Your retrieval clip has to be on the end of your rope guide, not through the shock absorber. It looks a bit weird but does work, the retrieval clip doubles back over the branch but when you go to remove it all flips into place and falls normally.

Looks a ball ache, but great photo set Drew.

 

Think I'll give it a go just for the hell of it

if you dont do the retrieval clip thing its really easy.
