    Remember it's only one persons observation, but i would wait to see what the manufacturer have to say. There was a recall of certain ones and it might be one that was not returned. INHO it is a great krab, my personal favorite. It does teach us that observation and carefull kit maitenance are essential for our longevity

    Bonnie has amazed me and the vet. She had a spinal stroke and has managed to recover over the weekend. Her left side is still a bit "lazy" but that should improve over time. At 14 1/2 she's a tough old bird for sure Thanks for your support and I'm still smiling so hard my face hurts

    They are a important tree in this country now imo, few deseases, structurally strong. They have filled the void left by the demise of the elms and to treat them as weeds is folly.

    If you justify heat issues as a reason for type "a" then why not change the job program to another task that is less likely to bring on these issues? Sorry just bing devils advocate

    I'm not 100% on this, but is seems as a employer or self employed individual you have the freedom of choice. However if you have staff you need to comform with best practice i.e. type c. I'm sure someone will have the details to the relevant regs somewhere

    A gent from the treehouse, called Burnham, taught me when in doubt to "always climb with your back to the wind". Hence reducing the force on the top. Good advice IMHO

    I would always recomend try before you buy with a harness. Is there a good arb suppliers near you?

    If in doubt, climb higher and piece it down. If going big, carefull cuts and carefull planning are the most important things

    you mean "clip the saw high" when moving around the tree? If so do you use an extra krab?

    Not the best pics but it gives you an idea of the forces involved in the rigging process. I'm not sujesting a calculator in a tree but it might help after reading this:scared: It makes you consider your rope angles through the block/s a little too
