If can afford it/get on the valuation one I will Think the valuation one may be of more use to people in areas with high clay content soils.

Iain, Are you doing the tree valuation or mortgage?

When I was doing some training one of the trainees was doing the same thing. Would not like to be in their shoes when Mr Vat catches up

no chance used rear handled for years when climbing because I could not justify a T. Teaches u how to position better etc but now im using T so much easier and IMO much safer. As Iain says, saws dont cause accidents, people do.

Think what you will be using the silky for. Aggresive is OK, but if u want 'one for all' they will be sh1te for formative pruning.

Got to agree with Lee (on the reasoning, not the work done ). Can’t tell too well from the pic. but looks like the growth form on the other Pop has been slightly affected by being next to the one felled. Therefore could there be knock on effects to the remaining trees from the change in environment? Agree with Steve, nice looking setup

I use it

Been told I should look at the veg oil thing. Is it as simple as it sounds? Mine is a 94 Mk3 2.4d

If I can get down I will, it would be good crack. A lot of sh1t happening at the moment so will see how things go

The ones where you flog your arse off to keep people happy for the sake of getting the contract again next year. Then you know what happens next Live, learn and get

Found this a while ago and posted on another thread. Table on page 3 gives a good easy rule of thumb for rigging. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=471&highlight=rigging

Keep it simple and dont use technical terms (general public wont know what the hell it means). Think of what it will sound like as a web name too, and is the donain name still available?

Cant add any more to what had been said. My thoughts are with his family and friends.

Thats the way I was shown and works well for me considering the financial outlay :wave: Use it a lot when topping down to see where to get to before I can safely fell the rest.
