  4. im using it on my tachyon at the moment and actually quite like it, yes it does get quite dirty but havnt really found that it binds at all, actually switch from my armour prus to this as i found that the armour prus was binding to much
  5. nope, im always real hot, and found that i was at a pretty comfy temperature, you can undo the zips under the arms for extra venting.
  6. yeah my stein jacket stood up to the heavy rain thrown at me today as well, well worth the money

  17. nice little reduction to finish this job off, really easy fun climb
  18. haha not my stems mate, the 3 i did were clean as a whistle, the other 2 were done by the subby climber
  19. qaulifications are good, but wont buy you worksite experience, and unfortunately without that, better money. what it will give you though is a good solid base to begin your journey into this industry. what im trying to say is, dont go out expecting to earn mega bucks because its not going to happen, but with a willingness to learn and a good attitude it wil get better
  20. dunno mate, it was on a hill so could of
  21. haha im not sure why it pulled to be honest. i was using the 390 with a 28 on it and the boys didnt even really have to pull it, just went straight over, just one of those things i guess, cracking fun job though
  22. :blushing: i feel like ive just been told off got it on the ground and didnt wreck the hedge though, and i didnt take 45mins like robs last one:001_tt2:
  23. a bit of both really, it was kinda in the middle of a grissalinia hedge which made it awkward as the wanted to retain the hedge
  24. busy last 2 days, taken down 3 spruce, a dougie fir and a scots pine and a good sized birch out the back, reducing a good sized willow that you can just see the edge of tomorrow by about 3m, havnt taken many pics as ive been to busy, but heres a few pics of my mate shaun the scrap man taking the timber away for me, to drop down to robD. was hoping to get the lorrow on the drive and lift them out from standing, but it wasnt happening so felled them and dragged them down the drive(drive is being replaced along with the bunglow before anyone says anything)
