I don’t have much sympathy when you hear how much they have for having them on the land ! The ones I can see from home are rumoured to get around 1 million a year for land that is barely fit for grazing.

The whole point is it’s not green is it? How is destroying the last pristine waterways and eco systems on the planet for mining and dams green…. It’s not hard to comprehend surely for you is it not? I live in a house that’s off grid , I have solar and a big turbine I’m trying to do my thing …. but when you look in to the logistics of the large turbines and there life span what is needed to be quarried and mined they might as well start digging for coal in open casts again… I have a Bolivian friend who in his lifetime all the waterways his community’s used as life have been poisoned and destroyed , the whole eco system has collapsed by mining for our essential battery ingredients, this whole bill shit thing is in my belief the last throw of capitalism to rape as much as possible for this so called green revolution/agenda.

Hydro is being removed where possible in Scandinavia as the dams collapse whole eco systems… salmon and eels to name a few are on the verge of extinction… this is what really pisses me off with the whole green agenda, mining for the components for battery’s , dams and big stupid wind turbines … hardly green if you take in to consideration the damage they do… we are facing mass extinctions to the last remaining ecosystems and its being driven by this ridiculous agenda.

Spring felling ash makes cuts much more liable to barbers chair as the saps rising …. Kind of doubled with chalara making it harder for the sap to rise as it blocks the cells causing excess sap build up in stems in my view making it even more of a possibility.

I don’t know if I agree with that statement mate , in my view all tree work is easier except maybe dead wooding out of a mewp especially removals.. I think that’s when a mewp really comes in to its own with the ability to set up big rigging for stems without teetering around on spikes with a 3ft bar , big pulleys and heavy ropes.. raising crowns is easier , reductions take a knack as you kind of have to relearn them as most of us are used to picking a line from inside the crown they can look a bit odd and out of balance until you get used to finding that line again looking in from the outside of the crown and it’s very easy to over prune and leave an unnatural finish… I think as long as you have a relatively fast mewp moving it for positioning as it’s needed for most trees to get the most and keep things safe I don’t think it is no different to a climber having to re route and certainly isn’t as fatiguing.

That’s some eagle eyes there mr squirrel … I did see it on face book being talked about, didn’t pay much attention though

Interesting gand .. i do wonder if they changed the buckles because they seemed to cause wear especially the Lower… that aside they didn’t move which is exactly what you want !

I think there are a few factors now that will make this the quietest time of year , no one really has gone out in the garden yet and those that do will be thinking about nesting birds… the next three months I found have got worse over the last ten years.

Brain send me your details in a pm , often over that way and in need of getting rid of wood chip.

Can’t make a silk purse out of a sows ear lad “ as my dad would say , whoever has done it has made the best out of a bad situation, the stems are too big on the first place to be layed.

I once picked up one of these when I needed a cheap ground saw asap and it never died … I passed it on to a customer for firewood and it’s still going apparently BRAND NEW OLEO MAC GSH 400 Petrol Chainsaw 14" Bar 38.9cc 2.3HP WWW.EBAY.CO.UK With a powerful 38.9cc engine producing an impressive 2.3hp, this model is fitted with a 35cm-41 cm guide-bar and has a chain with a 3/8” pitch and a 0.50” gauge for...

Gota 550 for £200 , can’t guarantee it though mate but it might last longer than a £200 mitox or something

RBG bodies would be worth a look.

Just buy the tree motion pro I think mate.. looks almost the same harness…. Side by side gand what do you think ?

Agree with the buckles ,so bad I had to write them , no reply or shits given. seems they haven’t addressed that if your new one is the same. Also found the webbing was constantly adjusting by itself , that was one thing I loved about it the old tm’s was that it stayed the same and was a harness for one person only who had set it up. I was gutted when I had to retire my third.. this one is my fourth and if it wasn’t for the fact I don’t like change I would but on something entirely different.
