    Great saw - I've not had an issue with mine.

    Great footage from a challenging environment. Good job

    I'm around at the APF on thursday & possibly friday morning, & if anyone wants a look I will put it in my bag

    A quick bit of feed-back on the H-H; The system itself is a joy to use & tends & switches from ascent to descent seamlessly. It fuctions well both with a single line & when used with traditional dDrt. The major negatives at this moment are my flounderings with my attempts to learn srt climbing. I look like a three legged rino learning ballet at best I will come back & post a serious & more comprehensive warts & all review in a month or so. Hopefully my skills will allow me to objectively test this bit of kit by then

    Where are you based Old Man, & do you have a web-site? It would help steer those interested towards you

    Good work can increase the life of a saw. This is because, after opening up the muffler they run cooler.

    Low stretch winch rope either synthetic, or steel. Size will depend on size of tree

    Look like they know trees & how to work them. Old school efficiency (apart from the sloping back-cut)

    The Oxan is recommended Tim. The "dog bone" is a replacement for the top krab. I will still knot the cordage below it to fine tune it's function, but the primary connection will be to the krab. As for timing, you know as much as I do - a krab at the top was in the origonal set-up but superceeded enthusiastically by this one

    It's is the first production one - got it intime for the APF

    The Krab does take some of the heat - hence it's steel. Bend radius is small as the friction is spread over the dog bone at the top, the body & a little on the krab

    Great tool. Just tie in before you climb off them

    I have just received a nice new package from Ropetek in the states I love the fact that it tends the hitch & is a small compact unit. I will report back as I get proficient with it. The pics are not how it will be set up to use - the cord needs to be attached to the krab (sorry about my poor pics)

    Doing a 2 day job, working on a woodland boundary. Chatted with the home owner at intervals throughout the day, he made us a drink etc as was delighted to have the overhang reduced & damaged trees removed. Turned up on the second day & was met by a distraught neighbor, who, explained that he had passed away over night. Made for a solemn morning of work
  21. Pete Mctree
    Enjoyed that
  22. Pete Mctree
    Cool. Fancy a little experiment ? How about crossing the m25 a few times blind-folded. You don't need to see as it will be gods will if you survive
  23. Pete Mctree
    Yes. Just try & be sensible about what to climb & what you expect to achieve
  24. Pete Mctree
    Hope the essex police marksmen are discriminate, as orange complection & big blonde fluffy hair are not exactly uncommon
  25. Pete Mctree
    Looks like some good varied work & some decent sized trees
