I'm with Drew on that, once the coating wears off the dyna glide its useless, unless you use a really heavy bag. I only use zingit 1.75mm, with a ten or eight oz bag depending on height, tree species, and wind conditions, works just fine for me.

IMO you want a three man basket to make two up worthwhile and safe. However, how do you get around your safe working distances? However you do it the holder is to close to the cutter.

There is a third way.......

Couple of pics I just found on my phone. One. Pete McTree between my legs. Two. Depressing leylandii hedge of doom. Enjoy.

V. true, but your not going to send it down between each cut? Besides, if you're on spikes and ringing down, your line is mostly going to be attached to your harness.

3 and a quarter inches. After you felled it that is.

The 3120 is easier to start in the tree than the 880, but other than that I cant see there's much between them. Hanging it off your harness is much nicer if you have a chest harness on. I find any big saw just pulls the harness down over my hips. If you are on spikes ringing down a big stem, then the best place for the saw while you reposition is on top of the stem.

Honestly now Shrek, have you ever cut up a tree with the 880, that you couldnt have just as easily cut up with a 660?

It doesnt rain as much on his side of the pennines apparently.

Thought prompted by another thread. My work boots and clothing are by far the most expensive items in my wardrobe. My trainers on the other hand cost no more than £30 a pair. So, how much do you spend on trainers?

Zero stretch, zero shock absorbsion, even a small fall could cause serious internal injuries.

Yes, the company I use do that, the insurance is 17% of the hire charge.
-
Do a google search for hired in plant insurance, you can buy a one day policy over the net just for what you need.
-
Its having insurance that makes those kinds of fells possible. Anyway, it could only go one way, there's a brick wall either side!

I'm with the bloke.

Thank goodness your here! Lets start with an easy one, why is a tree? Welcome to the forum btw

Even on a big takedown it wont be 80' past ten o clock! Even as a contract climber, I reckon I only spend an average of 4-5 hours a day climbing. Thats only 50%. The rest of the time is taken up with driving, carrying kit in and out, helping tidy up, chainsaw maintainance, and paperwork.

Nope, 3 way as well.
