If a saw is cutting its Farley obvious some some thing will be coming out the tree pretty soon ... This particularly applies when your climber is using a big saw... Look up and access and stay out the drop zone if there's any risk! Don't stack brash in rows that overlap the nearest to the chipper so it makes it a pita to chip with out a vast effort of pulling out branches from each other. Keep checking the climbers rope for fallen debris. Try not to drag brash bundles facing down the side of newly painted houses and walls. If snedding out big lowered lumps make your cuts count so you don't have to pick up a saw by the chipper because there is a 9" peg off a branch union jamming the rollers. Listen watch and learn and stay aware as every job and situation is different and it makes the day go quicker than staring at your mobile texting all day. Don't spill your climbers pint whilst taking it to the beer garden at the end of the day.. Try and have a talk about how the team operated and any issues you have.... Enjoy a job welldone.

I would not of fancied my chances myself in the Normandy breakouts in the British Canadian sectors against the infamous heer and ss tiger battalions or the fanatics of hitlerjugend. we took heavy losses we could replace... they could not. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

They took on hitlers most fanatical and elite units who fought to the death in Normandy, they were far from worn out,are boys deserve massive respect for being pushed to there deaths in waves to crush the nazi regime and destroy the german army in Normandy. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

I try and work too cutting the steps double the width of the branch with foliage for a long section. The width and an inch for a short section. Timber can vary depending on size and weight infact so can branch wood but generally the double width rule works if there is no wind, heavy wet foliage and fruit.... basically there's to many variables to give a firm rule! Only experience will give you an idea. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Used a couple of 201s in the last month a standard one and a modded one both could not keep up with a new 200t the 540 does... Maybe it's slightly faster as well. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Examined quite a few shoots on late barely opening ash today and there's plenty of ash moth on all the trees we looked at that appeared stressed and opening late. Also did a climbing inspection on a dead ash in a school last Friday that had been killed by root rot and no evidence of chalara, looking at trees in similar situations on the way back it becomes apparent there is a lot of waterlogged soil about that can not be helping.

The only reason I can think of people not reporting stolen gear would be if the gear was stolen in the first place and if that's the case you deserve it anyway. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Sorry to hear this had happened to you again Geoff , these scum need burying.

Ash are very late, maybe they are confused after a succession of very cold dormancy's and then a mild one?? ... They have all looked like canker ridden half dead derelicts for as long as I can remember it has not happened over night !! , I am not worried yet. The only real infected ones I have personally seen have been very young trees. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

So they don't come with one?? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

I've used a static rigging line with a rigging plate and pulley to run the timber with a rigging pulley set below it with a lowering device for the second rope to retrieve and control speed , works a treat!! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
