Clocks move clockwise & if not counteracted could stop the balance & rotation of the planet

Outstanding dean

Less is more. I will leave you to kill your tree in 500 hundred cuts, whilst I safely remove mine in 200

Hate them with a passion - learn to stack decent plastic wedges

A fall exerting 15kn on the zz eye (30kn on the anchor point & climber) would do so much internal damage that gear failure would be the least of your worries

The krab supplied with the HH is integral, as the body of the device is designed to fit & secondly it is steel, which is more abrasion resistant & dissapates the heat generated far better. As for the gate, is the krab clean & functioning OK? -
They work well. You have to remove the lever & the cam to fit it I seem to remember.

The failure looks like a fracture. No signs of deformation of the material below the break point. Must have been been brittle & perhaps subject to torsional stain. It will be interesting to see what petzl make of it

My hand has been forced to the orange and white side

Do you cut softwoods or hardwood timber mainly? I ask because by UK standards - i.e cutting mainly hardwoods that is alot of bar for the saw. Work runs a 395 on a 28" as standard to compare -
For those who wish to inspect there zig-zag, here is the Petzl instructions on how to do so. ZIGZAG-PPE-Inspection.pdf

Not sure Maggie was a worthy human being either:sneaky2:

I may have no respect for Maggie personally

You voted a black Muslim into office, so when did disliking a fascist white woman count for anything?

Advancing the timing, re-setting the metering arm & porting the muffler seem to be getting results. Delicate & precise work though

Tree can't be that big if they put it all through a chipper

I'm not saying go & use an item you feel is not safe, but, however, I am not fond of unsubstantiated clams, either positive or negative as hearsay can be dangerous

Do you worry that the wheels are going to fall off your truck or brakes fail at the next junction? We have an unconfirmed problem without context or background. I will worry about its integrity when the facts come to light

Impulse line is compromised?

I dream of such things

Great set of pics Reg & some exceptional teamwork. Just how treework should happen
-
People need to get over the fact that she was hated, (& she was loved). For example, my mother is her biggest fan, yet I hate her without reserve. The modern style of government & populous control relies on the media dividing us, as cohesively, we would not allow them to get away with there selfish & egocentric goals. Politicians, post Maggie all seem to be deficient in any form of compassion.

A true stand-up son. Amazing how much money can be made trading arms, legally & illegally.

The bark will not. It was used to produce fire retardant materials. Timber no idea - sorry
