32m x 16m - I hope that is the reach not the dimensions Stefan good luck with it !

I don't have an issue with tattoos in the workplace and I hope society is getting past the stigma that once was attached to them. I am more interested in people's behaviour & language in front of a client. Good manners always reflects well on a company I think.

Become a business seems to be where I am heading. I had tried the managing teams route, but unfortunately my employer was not on the same page. i have had a few years back contract climbing & cutting & I am slowly developing my own thing. I am employing really good subbies, running with the work smarter and harder ethos & concentrating really hard on my customer care. Fingers crossed that things will work out well.

The running of the rigging was a massive factor by the looks of things, & the selection of kit did not help either. I hate using rigging blocks on dead or compromised trees - the extra force can be destructive. i really hope the guy survived to fight another day.

Someone appears to have spammed the thread

Vertex vent. Protos is too fragile & the hearing protection is relatively poor. Stein is nice, but does not fit my head well.

What do you use to tie off your rigging blocks?

Tenex dead eye. Tied with cow hitch or timber hitch. -
I've always assumed that wedges were permitted for those nasty backleaners - but then again I might be wrong!

Your mill will not abuse chain like normal use. .325 will stretch & possibly break chain regularly. I did try a 440 on .325 years ago in the woods. Predictable result of destruction. Glad to hear it does work well on the mill - much stretch?
-
I think the 046 would kill a .325 chain. Way too much power. awesome saw, never been bettered imho
-
I prefer a fitted tarpaulin roof - gives that flexibility for easy loading

Is it an infection? All the trees bar one displayed the growth habit

I was re-reducing 5 massively over pruned Ash trees on Friday, when I began to notice some unusual growth like you can see in the images below. The other unusual growth habit was the massive annual growth- epicormic shoots of over 2m in length in 2 growing seasons. i have seen this before , years ago & always wondered what the root cause was. Any ideas?

I may be able to help you.

When viewing the unread posts, I have discovered the "condensed list" button - magic, especially when viewing on a phone. Gets rid of all the crappy bulk
-
I use a 13mm & 16mm wirecore flip line for dismantling & a rope strop for pruning.The Swedish is too clumsy & numb for me. i use grabs as Prussics are too easy fouled with dirt & sap.

Looks an impressive compact machine - perfect for such jobs. What is it like on steep terrain?

Not everyone exhibits the bullseye- they think it is absent in 20% of cases of lymes disease. I live in an area that has a lot of ticks & check myself every day & I also wear chainsaw trousers with gaiters built in.
-
I have some new progress type a & After the 1st month I am really impressed- we will see how the next year goes with them
-
Which ones?
-
I really dislike.325 in the woods. Too fragile & easy to stretch & too many cutters to sharpen. I run a 441 cuttings 95% hardwoods, but if you wanted a smaller lighter saw I would run a 560.
-
I have whipped the splice tight onto the safebloc now. Zero movement. I would not dismiss it for some poor splicing, as it is a very useful tool

Husqvarna 365 special cylinder and piston
Pete Mctree replied to Dean Lofthouse's topic in Chainsaws
I think the pot, muffler & carb were different- I would definitely put a 372 pot & mod the muffler. It will be a nice saw -
I work on the principle that they are the dog's to loose. If they hump, feck off, be aggressive then they are gone. Otherwise why bother?
