Some organised rigging there - good job. Two rigging points works well when it works......
-
Looked a nice day for a big tree Reg. How you finding the rigging rings in comparison to pulleys or a big rigging block?
-
Some good work thereTom. Not the nicest tree to tackle
-
Nice tidy treework. Good to watch

I was pointing out that the AA are becoming more inclusive & that the opinion that only AAC should be allowed to do TPO work would be a retrograde step in there evolution. Pete McSheffrey OakdaleNEltd
-
To exclude other quality contractors, who choose not to be AA approved from TPO work would be elitist & exclusive. Things that the AA are striving not to be I hope. This new scheme being an example
-
The introduction of a stand alone accreditation, which is also a stepping stone towards full AA status is a great idea IMO. It will be an excellent tool to drive businesses forward & help them compete with those larger ones around them.

Top job Rich:thumbup1:

Good job Rich. Did I you put a rigging block on each leader & run the rope through both? I try too as the rigging compresses the union.

Or just live next door to the local game keeper like I do My hen run is still very secure & the rats & stoats pose just as big a threat, especially if you have chicks
-
Some quality work there & an impressive selection of toys too
-
Who sells 1/2inch plus wire-core flip lines 3.5m or above here in the UK? I can only seem to find skinny 3m ones which are limiting to say the least.

What the old man said

Oregon green welly things? They never fitted well. Never minded goliaths for spiking - not much good for anything else

30" works great on the 660. I'd look at the dual port exhaust too - bit louder but improves the performance markedly.

Vernier scale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia -
16mm double esterlron with a porta-wrap, which is as important as your choice of line. No point wrecking it at the knot & it failing prior to the winch. Matching components is the key

I missed that too.

If you can get an original 372xp the go for it. The newer ones with the different engine are a fraction of the saw & very disappointing.

Burn the head & then get digging !

I tried to illustrate the point in my previous post, however I think I need to expand upon it. As I understand the process of climbing, we are taught to climb the tree, remaining secured to it as we progress. Our climbing systems are therefore primarily work positioning. If however we climb "on rope" then we would have to adhere to the same rules & regulations as the IRATA guys under the WAHR regulations. So whether you work SRT or dDRT, when you write you RA's & methods of work etc you have to be concise & accurate in your terminology. Either can be be justified in work positioning or access in my opinion as I could not find an exclusion. Here is a good place to start; Tree climbing

We run 2 land force machines. They are outdated & unproductive in comparison to modern machines. The in-feed system is a serious weakness. They are relatively reliable however, if well maintained & have a good engine options. As a budget/low productivity machine, they. may be worth considering
-
What if the rope is being used as fall arrest & work positioning ass opposed to access? We climb. The tree, not the rope in my book

A bang on the head never made anyone smarter!
