  1. 3 cubes, 6 Harrison rockets and a throwpod, petzl airline in my falteimer with a rocket and throwpod and zing it with rockets in the other cubes. tend to use 10 or 12s but have got a 16 if needed in the truck somewhere
  2. never, would rather footlock the tail of my line
  3. id rather not do medium - large removals anymore than do them without my boxer pallet forks and some sort of bucket grab will do most of what you need
  4. its a good first show of the year mate,im sure we could sort out some sort of lift in exchange for beer il help mark it out if a Ddrt dinosaur is able to climb such things
  5. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nv7qh_XL_yM]Dust. Anybody? No? Dust. - YouTube[/ame]
  6. il definitely be coming again, really good time last year
  7. decent video, worth a watch Treeverse Tour Cut on Vimeo
  8. tpo oak reduction from today 1.5 - 2m was the spec
  9. I've got an valmet 8100 with a crane on a jake plate. I use it for arb and site clearance and don't find visibility an issue, sure id like it to lift more, but that's always going to be the case
  10. few pictures from todays oak removal
  11. Think of it as tax paid that you don't need to worry about at the end of the year
  12. Mike I climb trees and put them on the ground, sometimes they are lowered, sometimes they are speedlined and sometimes I just drop them. In nearly a decade of doing this I've managed to not kill myself and unbelievably I've never used or needed a computer to work out wether it's going to be ok There is such a thing as overcomplicating things and I'm not really sure why your trying to play a game of oneupmanship by asking people who believe there is a similar and equally practical way of doing the job to solve your rigging calculations. You seem to enjoy alienating people by preaching how superior you are
  13. Keep it simple, a very effective speed line can be setup with minimal kit. Ie an old climbing line tensioned with a truckers hitch And a selection of karabiners and slings
  14. you can easily do a 2ft stump with a carlton 900 with a decent greenteeth setup, infact when I bought my first grinder id tackle anything and did a 38inch beech stump in under 3 hours, it just depends how much you like hard work you obviously know far more than myself about the subject though
  15. I should also add that for 2-3k you will get a dog of a 20hp machine. 2k will get you a decent carlton 900
  16. can you chuck yours onto of a load of chips and timber? didn't think so ive had many grinders from small petrol to large diesel 4wd machines my favourite to date is the carlton 900
  17. get a 13hp carlton 900 20hp grinders are a waste of time imo, to big to lift onto the back of a truck, but not big enough to make a difference
  18. so ive found a couple of farmi chippers, I know they are meant for chipping cord but how do they cope on brash
  19. thats all well and good, but do you get £200.00 pounds worth of climbing and dismantling ability?
  20. 18 inch sugihara prolite getting some action today
  21. in 2 years of owning a grcs ive never used the bollard, always rig onto the winch
  22. really pleased with my sugihara bars of which ive got 3 now. the 13inch bar on my 346xp is used and abused daily by the whole team and is showing little sign of wear
  23. I think a compact tractor would be to big my boxer is versatile, it runs a grab, bucket, stump grinder, log splitter and mulching head
