James the Narcoleptic tree cutter.......
Pete Mctree replied to Kev Stephenson's topic in The Lounge
that still makes me laugh!!!! -
It's the same as a mog with a fixed chipper on the rear. Dedicated machine with pto. Regs don't say tractor they say AG machine if memory serves me right. Nice looking rig!!!!!!
-
the opposite I think. Larger chips require larger hp as the amount of torque required to keep the blades moving will increase. If the anvil/blade seperation is adjustable then there should be some range of adjustment within the tollerance of the machine. Chippers were origonally designed for fuel production i.e. large chips, the smaller chip size is a bi-product of the streamlining and weight reduction of the mordern machine, which has a different goal to the origonals

Nice to see you working hard as usual Matt
-
haha I was waiting for that to be mentioned!!!!!
-
Nice job, even better when the chip is sprayed all over the shop.

Take the risk of trashing your rep. and the $$$$ or just bide your time,re apply and sugest staged retrenchment pruning. i.e. go hit em hard repeatedly over a long period of time
-
Run with the permission only. Not worth pushing it unless there is real and researched ground to ignore it, i.e. an incorrectly served tpo
-
Thanks for that Steve, good pics makes it all the easier to understand
-
Other end of the rope I have fallen out with, I now ask for a 2nd line. I am always aware of landing a branch on the loop of rope, did it once, hurt like hell!!
-
Never tried the M-technique, I use a sling with a pulley on one end then a krab on the other. It is retrievable if you remeber to rig it right
-
I have a vacany in Huddersfield for a groundsman/part time climber. Wages and employment specifics are variable depending on experiance and qualifications. Pm me for further information

Fair size tree. Good work getting on the floor, looked a sweet job
-
You would be fine for sheep Tim, thoasands of em, and they kiss well! Better than those welsh ones that Ed is always on about:D
-
Would be nice Steve, I'm hiring at the moment;)
-
Shame if it has. Some great threads should have been archived. Never my favorite place and I may not have agreed with the moderation, but it was still a valuable resource
-
I'm not looking for staff with the looks of a pitbull licking piss of a thistle, with the charm to match, but thanks for the offer Andy
-
your not going to turn this into a gruesome pics thread are you steve? lol
-
I lack work, staff, charm and looks. Anyone help please:D
-
fair enough matty, but when the stem hits the ground i will have expended less energy and the knot will be on the top of the stem:)
-
Nice, I use the same method, especially on stems. The notch holds the rope in place and makes sure you get maximum leverage
-
I agree with the issue of retying your TIP. That would really annoy me, but would be a nice setup for bigger/taller trees. I sometimes extend my setup with a dynema sling, not as flexible, or adjustable, but lighter on the kit as I carry one on my harness anyway
-
I like both, but run 90% stihl now as that what my local dealer sells
-
you can tell?
