Is he qualified & experienced as required?

If you are qualified & experienced,then yes, but you must prove that your decisions are without "fear or "favour" I.e. you must prove you are impartial & there is no motive (financial for example) effecting your judgement

Bend your minds round this one!

2 things to remember - It's all in the detail & concentrate on what your doing, not where you are doing it!!

Vertex is a good starting point. Not too expensive & durable

DIY or flea bay ?

How big? What species? How long dead? How strong is the attachment ? The list of criteria is too long & a question I fear even google cannot provide the answer too. The answer is yes & no !

Not to have a go at Drew, as he understands (it is an easy mistake to make - I have been guilty on several ocassions), but I have to disagree strongly. The 2nd cut left an area uncut - illustrated by the pulled fibres on the piece after separation. This could have required considerable extra loading by the crane to break, which, can cause some serious problems of overloading & the pick bouncing on the line.

Make sure you get it tuned spot-on. Makes a huge difference to performance

The marl (or marline hitch) grips the branch better than a half-hitch. You can use a couple on small branches to tie it off, however as already stated it forms an overhand knot so groundies don't love it. But on those days rigging slippy timber it's worth a go as any help is welcome. An alternative not used much here is the clove hitch , tied off with 2 half hitches. It's quite versatile & easy to tie

As a rookie I would try & learn to spike correctly. Clean every stub & if possible limb the tree on the way up. It will be worth the investment of time & effort in the long run.

Not a timberwolf - build quality is far too good

How about some of this? Sorry I can't help, just thought it was funny

Rubbish. Velcro lasts if you look after it.

Why don't they supply these as standard? There reducing the desirability of buying from them

Grundens do some nice kit. I like my jacket

Well, I'm in no rush to sort ours out. Broken brake band too now.

Does anyone sell pacific helmets in the UK?

I hate tree poo. It's more usual to cut into a pocket of it whilst climbing, covering yourself in it

We are having issues with the filter performance. Fine particles are working there way through it consistently & in sufficient volume to worry me about the longterm performance have worries about the saw as it's going to damage the piston. The only other person I have queried about this has seen the same issues. Who else has seen this?

We run 341's on 15in & .325. They work very well, but depends on your usage to swap or not. If your cutting in the woods then the narrower kerf will be an advantage, otherwise not thatmuch difference. The 9 tooth sproket does increase chain speed quite a bit

Hitch Hiker thread.
Pete Mctree replied to Old Mill Tree Care's topic in SRT (Single Rope Technique)
I found that it ran better with the french prussic & beeline. Did you try it? You have to keep the hitch very short
