  1. ditto if you cant get the armor-prus then liros herkules is pretty good on the arbormaster
  2. you dont need to drag brash to be a tree officer, but it will give you an insight into what the world of tree work is like at the practical end...bloody hard, and as a tree officer it might just make you spec realistic work
  3. makita, brilliant saw, mine runs a 28in bar effortlessly, cant sing its praises enough. ed id quite fancy an orange one to
  4. 5 or 6 then pull the slack through, varies dependant on time of day and job
  5. i wonder if we will beat last years arbtalk chat number

  12. not a big fan of the gecko rope, very very bouncy, go for the arbormaster

  14. yes it is sparsholt, i saw them pracxticing whilst out looking at the woods during our ecology and conservation lecture for the fdsc arb course yesterday afternoon
  15. fair point. its not my only saw but if it was it could be an issue.unfortunately with them being relativly unused there isnt the support network that we have with our other saws.but im prepared to take that risk.maybe one day they will be popular. id certainly buy another.i know what id rather have up the tree with me
  16. the guy who i take my kit to orders the parts if needed. i snapped the choke lever off and i only took a couple of days for the bit to come through. i would fully recomend that saw, i have had no trouble with it at all and its really gutsy
  17. im not sure wether they do or not. doubt they would be interested in that though
  18. sbtc. yeah 2/3rds crash and bang, rigged the stuff that was over the hedge and the stuff of the main gas line that runs through the new forest monkeyd. yes i was, i was asked to deadwood and tidy upabout 6 months ago after a large limb failed over the next door neighbours drive. there was lots of damage on top of the main limbs which had obviously weekend them and finally 2 loverly ganno brackets on each side, they had put in a new drive 12 years ago which i dont think had helped ictrees. yeah the big makita is great, easily runs a 28in bar(which its got at the moment), and find it realy nice to climb with logologist. no i sold it to rob dyer, and he paid farwells to come pick it up and drop it at his place(god knows how much it cost as chris had to make 2 trips because he couldnt get it all on in 1 load)
