Great tune! Stuart, is that a standard saw, seem really slow in the cut?
-
I thought the guy shooting himself after using the leaves for 'toilet purposes' was the main one.

I saw this Gympie Gympie: Once stung, never forgotten - Australian Geographic Sounds nasty.

Anybody sell them here in the UK?

I have seen various variations on this idea, Softbankhawkes had a Pantin welded on his spikes some time ago but these guys have come up with this, http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mQRS-WHG6Bg&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DmQRS-WHG6Bg Innovation alive and we'll on the rest of planet earth.

I have a small Walnut to prune for a client, it is interfering with a public footpath so needs a crown lift to create the clearance, Walnuts are supposed to be pruned in the summer but the client wants the tree pruned as the property buyer is not keen to sign until the tree is pruned, there are no big limbs to come off just small light stuff. Will the tree cope or shall I stand my ground and wait?

I would try Marlow, just down the road.
-
Nice!
-
Nice work!
-
Pshhh, I don't know and don't even care.

It's only slow because the climber is not very experienced according to the creator.

I'm sure most have used crash pads made of logs,brash even tyres and of course foam. The Log Stopper TM - YouTube

Fair shout though Reg, it's tips like that that save time and more importantly effort.
-
Haha, yep six ton winch on that one.

Roger called it COG though, Centre of Gravity which is what it is.
-
It was Roger Barnett that I learned that from online.
-
Exactly.
-
Will it hasten the decline of the tree though?
-
Your location is Corsham;)

Wiltshire job?

I have a massive Oak reduction coming up and it's a difficult thing to specify a percentage reduction or even, according to BS998, a measured reduction from the ground, once you climb the tree everything can change and most/all of the time the spec will have to be tweaked in some way. even producing a picture with a drawn reduction outline can never be considered as a given to how the tree will turn out. Don't stress about the work you have done to that tree.

It was on their FB page. Trango Cinch UPDATE - we spoke with Trango in the USA today and the Cinch is still in production. A new model is planned for release in the next couple of weeks - as far as we can ascertain there are a few improvements to get around 'belay' issues covered off in climbing forums. In regards to Cinch failure in belay mode if appears the device is being used incorrectly but changes have been made never-the-less. Well I hope Richard doesn't mind me posting that. So the old model is being replaced by a new model.

We'll, according to Treetools NZ the cinch is still in production and a new model is on the way. So you can't believe everything you read.

I often work to specs in that kind of detail Guy.

I asked the HSE a couple of years ago and the answer I got was as long as your risk assessment covers that that's what your going to do then it's fine. That said, it's up to the crane co and the driver in the end. I did a job before Christmas and rode the ball up but I did ask the driver very nicely, it just makes sense to ride up rather than climb.
