  10. haha oops my bad, ive just gone back and looked again, i knew you had the akus. ive got a pair and love em. it turns out the new phanner boots look very like the gronells from the top:blushing:, and i saw the bridge of a treemotion and 2+2=5

  12. i reckon this conversation has run its course guys, please leave it at that
  13. old snake how are you finding the gronells?
  14. DMM Pinto Pulleys - Treeworker.co.uk
  15. its ok, fell out with it pretty quick
  16. sorry to say its dead mate, lasted me abour 18months total, though it did alot of big work in that time. got a 390xp now, much better saw imo

  17. to be honest you could probably have spiked up to the limbs at the top and bashed them out, but you would never be able to piece them out small enough to avoid the fence beneeth, new hedging, quite a nice hawthorn and some othe bits and pieces . there was a distinct lack of anything representing any sort of top anchor, though you cant really see that from the picture below. the stem was sound really bar 2" around the outside which was shot
  18. i really want some highlift wedges:blushing:
  19. dont know, i like wedges:thumbup1: just tapped them in as i brought the saw round after i bored in. it saves me shouting at alex to put some tension on it i guess, then when the cuts finished we can pull it over and weve got all the pull to play with:dontknow:
  20. bit nose heavy mate, but not bad for a country boy alex went to take a cut off the top of the stump and blunted his 441, his first cut of the day.hed spent most of tbreak sharpening it with a blunt file:lol: i had to re do it 2" above
  21. thanks mate, got a few that i need to send over to the website man
  22. 20 metre bremach access platform from affordable access hire:thumbup1:, one dead oak. easy peasy. pretty uninteresting job, but still fun none the less. all done and dusted by midday, chip stayed on site though there was hardly any brash to chip as most of it disintergrated when it hit the ground. stem was cut in roughly in half either for milling or carving, customers are still undecided.
