  1. Kernmantle is generally rock climbing rope. Unlike arb rope, most of the strength is in the core
  2. Didn't realise they did hand held hydraulic saws I just thought they were on machines, wood processors and forestry head on diggers etc Quite common in America I believe, rigged in to the bucket truck hydraulics
  3. Nothing in the range of a 440 though. have you considered a hydraulic option?
  4. Some kind of moss I presume?
  5. PeteB apparently!
  6. Wrong section, please add your site here https://arbtalk.co.uk/recycling
  7. £150 a day on the books is great money, especially for someone with only 4 years experience. Good look finding the right person treedismantle
  8. Hopefully the little scrotes get caught in the act
  9. What climbing method are you going to be using
  10. I'd recommend talking to @justinkingwell about the TMK range. No personal experience with tree shears but I do know Justin only sells what he has first hand experience with. TMK Tree Shear - KHL Plant & Machinery KHLPLANT.COM
  11. When are people going to wake up to the risk of 5g. These foolish Amazonian tribes went and erected 5g in their villages, now look at what’s happened https://www.nationalgeographic.com/history/2020/04/first-coronavirus-deaths-indigenous-communities-amazon/
  12. Probably the end, can’t say without seeing the code
  13. An EVO 165D from GreenMech has become the dominant machine on the arb fleet of Swansea-based Rooted Tree & Landscapes. Owner Craig Mylan has been a loyal user of GreenMech woodchippers since he started the company in 2008 with the EVO becoming his fourth machine, and it’s the most powerful yet - transforming the way they carry out both commercial and domestic tree works. “I first saw the EVO 165 at its launch at the 2019 Arb Show and the first thing that really hit me, or didn’t hit me more to the point, was the noise! We have a duty to our customers and our operators to look at things like reducing noise and this machine demonstrates real progress” explains Craig who heads up a team of six. “There are so many new developments on this machine – simple things like the foldable chute which makes storage of the unit that much easier.” From a performance perspective, the re-designed flywheel and large infeed chute have resulted in labour and time savings when it comes to processing large volumes of woody waste. “The more powerful pull-through means we can feed in material without having to sned it down first. It then chips whatever we feed in quickly and efficiently before throwing it out again cleanly. It is without doubt the most powerful machine we’ve used in terms of torque and bite.” With its 165mm chipping capacity, the EVO isn’t the largest machine in Craig’s fleet, however it has been used on a range of projects both large and small. Another factor that has kept Craig loyal is the superior back up support he’s received from those in the GreenMech dealer network. “I’ve worked closely alongside Julian Cullis of GreenMech since way back when, who has always kept me abreast of new and future developments. We’re also fortunate to have Chipper Hire South West not too far away who have a fantastic fleet of GreenMech machines to hire if we need them. With the EVO, the support we received from our local dealer Powercut in Carmarthen has again been first-class.” “For us independent companies” Craig concludes, “our success depends on reliable and robust equipment that’s capable and working to its full capacity. The fact that the new EVO is a great machine is one thing, but the whole GreenMech ethos to support their users every step of the way is another to really be applauded.”
  14. perhaps add yourself to the tip site directory https://arbtalk.co.uk/recycling
  15. Lush weather here too. Can it possibly be just a coincidence that the sky is so clear all of a sudden?
  16. At least yours are clean, mine still have chicken crap on them
  17. You don’t get this colour eggs from supermarkets that’s for sure
  18. you need to do it with html
  19. Not seen much difference in prices although I guess I don’t usually take a lot of notice. Eggs are cheap enough though, been buying them from a local house £1 for 6. Way tastier than supermarket eggs too, I’m going to continue buying from them when this is all over
  20. Shot himself in the foot a bit there then! I guess his only hope is dole?
  21. I don't care where your political allegiances lay, this woman is dispicable Mayor expelled for saying Boris Johnson 'completely deserves this' METRO.CO.UK She said: 'Sorry, he completely deserves this and he is one of the worst PMs we've ever had.'
  22. Thats a good start @trigger_andy, and once you've built up a little bit of core strength, something like this would be a good stop gap for you before moving onto free weights perhaps.
  23. Shin beef stew on the go for tonight
  24. Good question. I've actually been on a health kick for the past 2 months, trying to lose weight and generally getting myself fitter and stronger again after leting myself go. Been running as much as I can, but eased off it lately as I believe I have shin splints after upping the distance to 8km. Probably going out for a run today though as they are feeling a bit better. Bought my lad a weight bench for christmas so we have been doing that but he only has 50kg of weights. Picking up my 140kg olympic bar set later that I have in storage so we can start a dead lifting routing. Might also purchase a power rack if I can find space for it. On top of tha though, I downloaded the Peleton app yesterday. They are doing a 90 day trial because of covid-19. Its usually about £40 a month. Theres a massive amount of workouts on there, including live sessions....and all the instructors are hot which is a bonus. Mix of male and female instructors so something for everyone ? i'm going to start doing a selection of courses, 2-3 per day, from cardio to core and even yoga
  25. Nope, will do though
