I used to hardly rig anything, enjoyed the challenge and prided myself in getting into some proper contorted positions and piecing out nearly everything. I definetly rig more now than I used to.

Sorry to hear that. Only takes a second for these things to happen

Id never ever recommend doing it twice, cowboy

Probably bad advice, but a quick fix on site when the drive links burr up, is to undo the bolts, slacken off the chain, tighten the bolts again then run it full throttle. Re-tighten after

I have a couple of chains on order to try out, will let you know what they are like.

My climbing rope and lanyard, oh and Rope guide till I teach my tip

No problems here either, you just have to put them on properly. I love them

where do you get 50% from?

3.5% increase as it says

Also its only a 3.5% rise, we were already paying 6%. In answer to your other question, of course you pass it on, this is plain business sense.

its not 9.5% on the cost of the whole policy

Whats even stranger is that no one has re-stolen it!

Hows it look when they cut it back? I'm assuming they cut it back to bare if its every 10 years, would that be as far back as the bottom section thats been regularly maintained?

doesn't look particularly comfortable does it!

This!

Damm it, I didn't think about that. I've embarrassed myself again

It really is beyond me some of the attitudes towards switching from prussik. I really don't understand the comments about being on spikes so anything other than a prussik is needed, or comments about them being pointless on small trees or conifers etc. I would use a zigzag or advanced friction hitch on any tree with equal efficiency, tree types/size really doesn't come into it. Bottom line, if you have tried any of the advanced hitches and still think a prussik is better, then sorry but you were doing it wrong.

Just a quick question for research please, what type of collar do you prefer on your baselayers and why?

Jensen in the UK – industry-leading wood chippers Getting the job done since 1884 At the beginning of the year, Jensen began to export to the UK through a brand new dealer network after over 15 years of collaboration with a sole dealer. Jensen sought new partners who offered the most industry experience, the best customer service levels and the deepest knowledge of the brand’s industry-leading products. The highly respected German manufacturer was particularly interested in dealers who are accustomed to doing business with all levels of customer, from independent arborists to contractors and local authorities. The four dealers were chosen via a rigorous selection process to represent the historic Jensen brand. They will import their machines, spare parts and support from the factory in the birthplace of the chipper, a village called Maasbüll in North Germany. Visit Jensen at the Saltex show in Birmingham on 4th and 5th November 2015 to meet the new dealers and see the quality machinery - stand number h080. Jensen dealers Beaver Plant is situated in Stamford Bridge in York. Owned and run by Mr Alan Oldfield, this company already has lots of experience with selling and hiring chippers to contractors and arborists. They’ve got a well equipped hiring fleet of Jensen machines and give excellent service to wood chipper repair. Contact Mr Oldfield for more information on hiring or buying a chipper. Dennis Barnfield is family run business established in 1964 and situated at the foot of the Lake District in Carnforth, Lancashire. They are contracted to deliver Jensen machines for construction to the Environmental Agency. Their spare and used parts department is famous for its service and quick deliveries out to customers. For chippers in this area get in touch with Mr Malcom Mackay. In Wales Jensen is represented by J Davies and Son in Pencader. This is also a family run business founded and running since 1946. The company has lots of experience in dealing with contractors and arborists. They’re well known for their high level of service and recognised for their no nonsense attitude. Mr Gary Davies (3rd generation of the founding family) is your contact person for J Davies and Son. And finally, last but definitely not least, is the young and enthusiastic company Arbrep Services Ltd in Alton, run by Charles Walter. Charles is extremely experienced in the business and has already been dealing with Jensen for more than 10 years. Arbrep is a rapidly expanding company focused on customer service and specialising in the repair and maintainence of chippers and stump grinders. Their hire fleet is available on various contracts and for delivery across the UK. Jensen Peter Jensen invented and built the world's first wood chipper at the end of the 19th century for the local authorities to maintain the public areas. Jensen, the market leader in Germany and now world-recognised and respected brand was established in 1884 and still maintains the original enthusiasm and experience in building strong, reliable chippers with incomparable performance. Jensen does not copy, nor follow others, for we believe in our 130 year long legacy of quality, service and delivery. All the machines and parts are made in one location, in a town called Maasbüll in the north of Germany. Almost no parts are bought in, but instead made in Jensen’s factory; from the flywheel and the bonnet, to the infeed rollers and the chassis. This means that Jensen can be completely flexible in producing machines by individual request. Perhaps you need a bigger, wider or a different chute, or a unique steel toolbox, a special flywheel or a steel conveyor belt? No problem, Jensen can make it. In contrast to some other manufacturers in the UK, Jensen has the experience and engineering skills to make something unique and tailored to a specification. Together with their dealers, Jensen be showcasing their newest chippers and be on hand to offer expert advice at the next Saltex show (stand h080). The show is free to visit and is the UK's biggest event for the grounds care sector: Home - SALTEX 2015 Visit Jensen at Jensen Service | Getting the job done since 1884 for dealer contact details, to sign-up to their mailing list for the latest news, offers and more.

expensive to get in for what is there IMO. £17.05 for me and the kids..only 2 activities there for the kids really, archery and a climbing wall. A few stands but nothing overly exciting.
