SRT kit what combinations would you suggest.
MattyF replied to Darrin Turnbull's topic in Climbers talk
My choice would be. Rope wrench. Ct foot ascender unless you have the old style pantin. Haas... After using a haas I would never go back to a frog walker hand ascender style system. 4srt neck loop from tree kit or make one up similar. -
Looks an interesting read Chris , hell of a price tag on it though!
-
ADW clear your inbox Andrew!!

True , best tree men I've Met are the ones who have fallen in to this work, I doubt they ever woke up and thought I want to be a tree worker today and went out to look for a job.
-
I would not put any of those in my top five !! Sorry bud.
-
Isn't that what you do when you cut a hedge though? I would not buy another Stihl hedge cutter as long as I live any how.
-
Tree kit in the U.K. Sell it , also tree stuff in America will ship you out a copy... I've ordered from both as gifts for friends. This is a long interview but i have so much respect for Beranek I found it easily watchable... Can't wait for August to make part 2 !! [ame] [/ame]
-
The Beranek book would be your best bet if your serious , whilst the climbers companion is essential reading and small enough to be taken on site to copy knots ect every thing in general tree work book is covered from climbing and Felling to dragging brash and clearing up !
-
With the exception of slack on here that has been my exact finding of wood turners.
-
If you want to be a working arborist The Fundamentals of General Tree Work by Jerry (G.F.) Beranek has all you need to know. It is with out a doubt the best book out there imo .
-
Fascinating question ! Care too divulge the answer??
-
I use the petzl and pinto but I think the pinto had a higher rating also it looks good and fits in nice and tidy with the dmm oval.

Internally Steve it was spotless , it was snowing up the log heaps when we tested it.

It's the one you gave her mate

My girlfriends 550 after a new oil pump , clutch , piston and ring and light port work, saw already had a muffler mod but was relieved after a chat with Steve about opening up ports to much ,it ran great after ringing up some sycamore.. Pick up and revs still great and no apparent torque loss and should get stronger once the ring has bedded in properly. Can start on the dolmar 166

How did you beef up the rear springs james ??
-
It's supposed to have the der reise map released soon as well as an add on and the only reason I brought this cod ,they really need to do a world at war remake soon or some modern warfare this futuristic stuff is just total bollox. The new Star Wars battle front is a great game !
-
It's hard to give up the after work drinks and the weekend binges , but for your health it's worth it ! Try and find a routine of some thing you enjoy doing , hope it works out all the best Rachel and Mat.
-
I remember seeing some huge stumps along that front years back.. Obviously not beech though?
-
Could probably jump higher than a set of telescopic ladders would get you .... Used ladders plenty today as the tree did not lean itself to SRT at all..... the tail of my working rope would of been dunked in this all day !
-
That is exactly my feeling on greasing them stubby,I have never greased any other Sugi bar either.
-
Will rarely take them on site these days as the amount of room they take up and the effort in moving ladders around it's not worth it if your climbing SRT, a decent rope walker system takes is a lot less effort and is safer but they do have a place I guess as much as I hate working off them!
-
I would give it to spud mate to find the fault ,He's also very good at salvaging cylinders and Pistons too if it needs them.
-
I don't ever grease any bar sprocket any more mark , I found you have to keep it a near daily routine as weekly sporadic greasing seems to make sprockets fail quicker from my experience so it's either all or nothing. I found the tech lites bend nicely back Mick, unless they delaminate.
