  1. How about this one? Slightly over budget but it looks cool.
  2. Good video, thanks Nigel. It is a completely different process in some ways to a conventional hand splice, I don't think the end result is better or worse really. Do they use the power bury machine on double braid climbing lines too?
  3. You could have pull out drawers in the buck with dividers in to keep all the small stuff organised.
  4. Yes it does, and all the mounting bolts are inside the canopy when it's locked up.
  5. A third is good, as long as you read the direction of lean correctly it won't trap the saw.
  6. Cool! Wonder if they would make me a chocolate tea pot?
  7. I've tried it both ways, on a very heavy head lean even putting a small sink in can result in a stuck saw. On a lighter head lean a conventional cut but removing some of the hinge so you can power through the back cut faster. Side cuts parallel to direction of lean yes, back cut at same height or the whole exercise is pointless, only used it on up to 24" dia personally.
  8. Yes that's about right, obviously can't say exactly what they paid.
  9. Prices start from £1500 plus vat for the basic canopy with one door at the rear, add £3-400 for each extra door and a little more for the internal shelving.
  10. CB can be used with or without a sink cut. Cut each side of trunk, leaving a strip of uncut timber in the direction of fell. Cut remaining strip from rear. No directional control, just releasing to the lean and minimising risk of barberchair.
  11. That's the golden triangle.
  12. What cut did you use in the end?
  13. Burgers are so last century, its all mochachinnos and organic falafel wraps now.
  14. Nice photos, hope it works well for you!
  15. Coos Bay or Golden Triangle. Doesn't really matter what cut you use as long as your chain is sharp and you cut it quickly.
  16. iv never sectioned a big willy, do you do many of those? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  17. Pole gaffs are the shorties, long ones are tree gaffs. I always use shorties except on sequoias, and sometimes on ivy covered trees.
  18. No, no, already bought one from you, yes. Why don't you stock Echo?
  19. Yes, pm or email me with dimensions and ill send you a price.
  20. Near Ely.
  21. Obviously I can't say what the client paid, but the side panels would be around £700 plus vat, and the head board and tailgate linings around £250 plus vat.
  22. Thats very true, although trees is small market compared to builders, so its understandable.
  23. Pro Tipper have diversified into tipper conversions. This one has removable sides and aluminium lined head board and tailgate.
  24. Pro Tipper has diversified into converting tippers into Arb Trucks. This one has removable greedy boards and a aluminium lined tailgate and head board.
