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 -
Just curious, how many years you ran stihl & husky saws WoodEd?
-
or buy a rope washing detergent..........?

Nice shepherd Arborist
-
load of carp. With a few exceptions any time of the year.
-
If you don't have a spliced eye your knot attaching the krab will reduce strength by a half. Either way do your maths & it's all good

I am sticking with the LJ as I am left handed. The SJ is not set up for me at all. Fascist right handed world!
-
I have used 5 or 6 different ones & they all ran exceptionally well. Shame yours is poor as they are nice tool
-
Nice. Like the folding tree you sneaked in there
-
It's going to be near 6/700kg if you get a modern transit & put 3 people with kit in it

Entertained! That was cool

Employ common sense. Cut branch with saw & earn money
