No mate it's on a school site so I have to clear it with the relative permissions... Hopefully as I want to get it on the mill it has not been cleared as we felled a number of trees on site and the wood had to be left in manageable lengths. .. This was no though !!

Few years back went from a Porty to a 2000 and there's no going back..out performs it in every way in load capacity and handling. Fixed bollards are even better , pre tensioning is the way forward though in many ways and would not go back.

Me too peter.... me too. -
Alveo vents good ,very comfy but you get a lot of dust through the huge vents but it's a good compromise as its so light and comfy. The protos and your 560 won't mix though Jon the hearing protection is that bad with the huskys high pitch cutting screams you will have damaged your hearing by break time... I had to wear ear plugs and that's if the muffs have not fallen off before you start cutting or its given you a head ache as its that un comfy just to wear.

Got a spare 560xp its a beast but want £350 for it or £400 with 15" Sugi hara bar , it's 2014 approx 10 months old and has 53.40hours on it... It my back up 560 and not getting used enough. Probably more saw than you need though.

Good news he was getting dull and boring on top gear ....watching a bloated,bumbling old man with a hang over is depressing. -
Last time I lent a chipper out to an old groundy and good mate it came back on a tow truck minus a wheel... Have never lent out any thing since, not even my worse back up saws.

Would you bother retaining/managing the decline?
MattyF replied to benedmonds's topic in Tree health care
No pics of overall crown to see its health and vigour so can't really give an opinion.... But I've seen plenty of veteran oak with worse decay managed sensibly. -
Yeah that makes sense mate... Should of left them on!!

Hey Steve what is the standard carb settings on an 088 ?? It says on the filter cover 1/2 turn high 1/4 low and it sounds like it will blow up on these @ around 1 turn each though it sounds spot as usual, so what's up with the filter cover directions?
-
Cheers fellas. 👍

Nice trick with the slings on the hinge end of the tip roping. From what I've seen of it jay you need a whole new 3001.

I'd try and not put any TIP on the limb used as an anchor for the speed line for sure,Unless it was small....in all honesty though I've never lost a line anchor definitely back them up if it needs to be high with few half hitches and run the line down until you can tie it off on suitable substantial timber.

Cheers pete. The zip line consisted of a 16 mm double braid rope on to a hobbs type device for tensioning as a main line the pulley is a large ISC swing cheek going on to a medium rigging plate with an old hank of 13mm line for retrieves and braking that can run through a porta wrap if needed this is secured to the back of the rigging plate and through a dmm block. It was quite handy on that job as you could line up three -four limbs with slings on the rigging plate and send them all down once the last one was cut off releasing them all unfortunately the footage was unusable from knocking the camera well out!

Finally got round to going through the camera and editing some thing together longer than a 15 sec Instagram clip I'm still learning to turn it on when working and charging battery's helps! [ame] [/ame]
