Bugger! Easily done and hard to avoid

Well planned work is always great to watch. Some nice editing too Angus- good rythmn and you get a feel for the place also
-
Dinamite and a replanting scheme including the late mrs miggins who died when it failed and she got burried next to the stem alonside her cats:scared1: (for a short time:001_tongue:)
-
staged reduction- try and stimulate the growth of an internal canopy allowing further reduction. Thus reducing the overall size more drastically than trad reduction. Then turn everything within the potential faliure zone into a natural wildflower meadow

The ticket is one of competance not excellance. It is easy to critisise, but any other more comprehensive system would incur greater costs, with an undoubted outcry from those forced to pay for it. One citisism is that of updates- there is an obvious need to keep best practice current- well how about publications of updated methods through the arb magazines, or through e-mails etc. It is too easy to get isolated in this industry and still be expected to meet current and uptodate legislation and modes of work. A perfect example is the thread about backing-up ascenders, was the individual hurt aware that it was a potential hazard?

The link was put on the srt thread by Bundle2, but I thought it was worth a thread in it's own right. Very sobering http://www.isa-arboriculture.org/content/cm000181.htm

Don't know about the sorting the men form the boys bit:thumbdown: but this is a lesson to us all

I have had it since childhood, but thankfully it is not continuous. I just hate it when i crash and burn every few weeks- will be unconsious for about 18 hours then start the cycle again
-
Hope he did. Is this a yorkshire club?
-
Is that a yes or no? I have no choice when it strikes. If i'm lucky I can sleep for a full 6 hours- but thats maybe once a week:sad:
-
After 4 hours sleep, folowing 3 hours friday night, I was wondering who else suffers from it?
-
Nice here- shades n shorts!
-
If your not asking the questions then................. Does not detract from some nice smooth work though
-
Thought similar- be interesting to see how it's sideloaded rating compares to the swl of the rope
-
phone here-I'd never trust the clock in a truck as they do get changed
-
the chipper is mounted closer to the rear of the mog so the overhang is not that bad, but I understand your reasoning
-
The chipper could simply be fixed too the rear of the frame. The 3 point linkage is only usefull when multiple attachments are used. It also would eliminate "bounce" over speed bumps and uneven roads
-
Something i would recomend also- you may want to do future modifications towards ag spec and it makes sense doing it right the first time
-
you going to share the stats?
-
Tie the butt to the remaining stem- tension if possible. The nibble away- branches not under tension first
-
Why not install the hydraulics and pto? Nigels mog started the same way
-
Is that the same kind of muscle that is also known as blubber? I just that I always look around for a harpoon everytime i see you Dean
-
Breakfast is eaten within 10 mins of waking- just before the black coffee and morning roll-up.
-
Great Nod- I'm looking forward to it
-
Is it not the search for purpose that makes blind faith both foolish and exciting. Everyone who searches needs to hold some hope
