  1. Nice. Can't make out what tree it is?
  2. Introducing a revolutionary chainsaw boot design - the Pfanner BOA® Chainsaw Boot. We are delighted to announce the launch of the world's first-ever chainsaw boot to feature the patented BOA® Fit System. These boots are ideal for workers who are fed up with the time it takes to lace up a traditional boot, or find that their footwear needs adjusted throughout the day. “With the new BOA® Chainsaw Boot from Pfanner you are able to lace your boots perfectly every time, quicker than ever before. In essence, you press down on the dial, turn to tighten and simply pull up the dial to release,” said Andrew Hunter, Managing Director, Outwear Ltd. The BOA® Fit System uniformly distributes the pressure of the laces across the boot to ensure the most comfortable fit. When tightened, no laces are loose or looped that could pose a risk of entanglement, so it is a very safe system to use within the forestry and arb industry. If you get frustrated trying to unfasten laces that are knotted or covered in dirt, then the BOA® Fit System could be your solution. The new boot is guaranteed not to get tangled or knotted, and to release you only need to lift the dial. So with two clicks these boots can easily slide off your feet. The boot is the lightest chainsaw boot offered by Pfanner with Class 2 chainsaw protection. The weight of a size 41 (EUR) boot is under 1Kg! Comfort, support and stability is ensured with a waterproof Sympatex® lining, higher shaft, and Vibram® sole. “We expect that the Pfanner Boa chainsaw boot will be very popular, so contact our specialist Pfanner stockists, shown on our website, and secure one of the first pairs,” Andrew added. Available in Sizes 39-48 (EUR) from August 2019. For more information visit www.outwearltd.co.uk and search for BOA.
  3. Mostly backend changes that will go unnoticed but a lot of small little tweaks that will be visible. Several improvements on the tip site directory also. im actually running a couple of versions behind on the core software and apparently this avatar issue is related to the version I’m using. What doesn’t make sense is why it only just manifested itself though
  4. As has been said, always wear gloves! And as Paul always mentioned, give serious thought to the battery tools. Hedge trimmers inparticular are horrible for vibrations compared to chainsaws. The battery trimmers are a huge improvement. I would be interested to see stats for white finger in 50 year olds now, and 30 years ago. Theres been a huge improvement in anti vibration in that time, as well as education. It must have had a considerable impact on the numbers.
  5. Really not sure. The only thing that we did was download a database backup a little over a week ago. Currently preparing for a large site upgrade and this is being done on a test server. Its possible one of the processes broke something. As i'm busy working on the test server theres not really a massive amount of point me spending time trying to fix the issue here, it will all be fixed when the new site goes live, hopefully around 8 days time.
  6. Max, I have spoken to Alex directly regarding your concerns. He is going to get in touch with you tomorrow.
  7. I assume you have spoken to Suretrack directly about this and ruled out it being a faulty unit?
  8. Dunno, this sounds awesome to me. Would really get rid of some idiots from social media!
  9. Your old one was just the generic one right? Not a custom one?
  10. Yep, in fact that was one of the reasons I started Arbtalk. Us brits used to get a right slating on the american forums when we posted some of the work we did. They don't understand our ways at all. Arguably they are correct, but then they don't have the land constraints that we have, and having a 70ft Sycamore tree in a garden 20ft long probably isn't quite so common over there.
  11. I'd say thats a fair price, and enough to make a nice bit of profit on
  12. Sorry with you now. No, the Picus test was taken at about 10cm from the base where the Ganoderma was.
  13. As above, whats happening with the arisings?
  14. I added a tart into the price of mine. That’s where you went wrong
  15. Generally. I've been caught out a couple of times over the years though. Nothing is guaranteed
  16. Yep i'd do it, for £2500 + vat ?
  17. You've got to wonder how that conversation went. I mean you don't just walk into a village full of people who have probably never met a white man and ask them if they'd mind cracking one out into a jar for you?
  18. I was just stalking your friends list on facebook. Is this the friend you mentioned?
  19. I think he meant they go down every decade across the board, not per individual. If that’s the case where’s there report to back this up?
  20. Could have been an expensive day Mick!
  21. I've turned up to do a couple of Picus tests now where I was greeted with an hours worth of Ivy stripping I wasn't informed about, or other obstacles that make it impossible to get around the tree. If someone isn't familiar with the process then they could easily overlook something, like the tree being flush against a wall for example.
