  1. You choked a sling though the LJ ? If the sling is rated, it should not be a problem. Have you a pic? The ropeman is not a good idea. Can be a ropecutter when you take a good drop
  2. I footlock, spike up, use srt or ddrt to access, then use ddrt or srwp to work the tree depending on what needs doing. What do I tick
  3. Daniel, it's not a good cut. The separation is too dynamic as opposed to a top& bottom cut correctly executed. I'm not going to comment further, apart from noting my dislike of your arguing methods. Beating down others who disagree is not discourse & your aggression makes it quite difficult to reply to some of your posts. Shame as you bring up some interesting points
  4. How did you calculate the SWL for the bollard?
  5. take it you can type better than walk then:lol: Enjoy mate:biggrin:
  6. Good Andy, but you are no.1. What you survived & battled through no could tree test you that way. I'm proud to know you Andy & call you my friend
  7. Apart from snatching big timber it sounds like it will take a good workout (big timber kills everything)
  8. If the winch is the same size, is your mounting plate too small? Not trying to be negative, just what springs to mind
  9. Cool. Have you considered a fair-lead to ensure the smooth feeding of the rope onto the winch? What are you using to attach it to the tree?
  10. Used 2. first impressive, 2nd very poor. Depends on the construction. Every bit of kit commences being "home-made"
  11. Nice job Mr Haine
  12. Some people appreciate constructive criticism, other think there above it & attract negative comments. Which they ignore of course, ending dialog & pouring a thread into the gutter
  13. Whippet pups are so funny. All legs. I love it when they learn to run fast, but not stop or turn
  14. It must have all ended in Oz & NZ by now
  15. Great job & some very nice iron
  16. Have you retuned it? They are garbage when not run spot-on
  17. +3 to what Scotspine said
  18. Done it
  19. Bear
  20. I love telling the local low-life that it's to improve lines of sight for CCTV
  21. What Mog said. I'd not be happy to splice both ends of tachyon
  22. Fair size tree, looks like a proper job Do you not wear spikes on dismantles?
  23. How does the price compare?
  24. Massive tree -but some horrendous & dangerous crane work.:thumbdown: Think it's been posted here before
  25. £500 per year with a wood burner heating downstairs in a 2 bed end terrace. (We have the heating on minimal for winter & top the heat up with the burner)
