    Certainly wouldn't be spending money with them if you can help it

    No drag beech takedown, back Monday to shift timber and grind stump, about 42 inch diameter at the grcs

    of course we will never really know what influence people really have The CE climb system doesnt mean that any similar system that you put together is fit for purpose, only that youve tried to copy something that is CE marked. kinda like the cheap chinese copies of CE marked rigging equipment, it doesnt mean they are fit for purpose. The ban should enforce the use of the CE climb or any of the ART/ Petzl CE marked tools to carry any credability IMO sad times imo

    Will the ban in Germany give dmm/treemagineers/petzl a chance to catch up and release a srt device?? Who knows It's pretty convenient that the treemagineers have the CE climb system which technically is the only system people can use since the ban. Their sales must have plummeted since the srt revolution...

    My Massey 6485 taking a break from hedge cutting on chip duty

    Yes, it was a lot simpler. But tractors and unimogs are cool, or at least that's what I keep telling myself
  7. John Shutler
    Hardly any damage, just wheel marks from turning really, but the women is un hinged so easier to keep the peace

    No the crane was parked at the front of the drive so could get out, we left a enough space to get the massey and chip trailer out then moved the Valmet in and started shifting timber, Massey came back from tipping off chip so filled that with timber as well. Got to go back first thing and shift the last load of timber and tidy up. Tidying up includes running a wacker plate over the drive as they are very particular about the drive and arnt to happy about having a mog, two tractors and crane driving over it

    Dismantled 5 maccys with a crane. Poor photos but didn't have much time to take pictures

    Shifted some mulch on the way to pick up the timber from a pine takedown Nice easy day with an early finish

    I won a free assessment for my first years AAAC through a recommendation by my local tree officer

    I just bought a 185hp yr 2004 Massey for not much money, definately worth a look
  13. John Shutler
    Did you factor in taking the chips back to your yard?

    This is my next jacket, not many make wet weather gear better than the kiwis http://www.swazi.co.nz/shop/high-vis/karona-anorak/

    Some scots pine removals with this unimog crane today
  16. John Shutler
    Pine dismantles couldn't get the Valmet and trailer into the garden where they wanted the timber stacked so loaded it onto the plant trailer with digger and grab and pulled it in with the Landy Nice start to the year

    There's other things I'd rather be doing to be honest but for the moment treework funds a decent lifestyle

    I've done my Boxing Day hunting and on way home for breakfast

    Thanks for some sensible input, much appreciated. I've looked at pear technology a couple of times over the last 5 years since I finished my fdsc, but can't quite bring myself to spend the money, daft I know...
  20. John Shutler
    Yes I get the fact that pen and paper are the easiest solution but that's what I'm trying to get away from. There must be a fairly simple digital solution that is user friendly
  21. John Shutler
    Cheers Tom. Turns out they are based just up the road from me, I'll give them a call later

    Having resisted investing and moving forward with my tree surveying methods for a few years it may finally be time to get a device and some software to help with some larger surveys I have coming up Basic and easy to use are good things in my books and having just bought another tractor something reasonably priced would be nice Any suggestions would be great Thanks
  23. John Shutler
    They are awesome Chippers Proper simple and not stupidly priced
  24. John Shutler
    Boxer were good machines let down by crap service. The other problem is that the bearings, track rollers and motors aren't really up to the job of moving big lumps of timber all the time and the cost of replacing them is daft If I ever bought a loader again it would be wheeled

    we have the board of shame breakages or cockups go on the board of shame, whoever has the most points at the end of the month buys breakfast for everyone else we dont have to many serious issues but my guys are generally sensible and conscientious
