  1. got there before me life's not always the party we planed but where here so we might as well dance
  2. yes the Isc pulley is tested, marked and rated for that, the petzel is not, if they were confident about using it like that they would say so. the petzl tree bee has a large ring that will fit some pulley's through to make a rope guide or just get the ART pulliey and a dynema sling as it will fit through most normal rings. climbing rope is not good for a saw lanyard, yes its strong infact the same as the rope your climbing on, so when your saw gets snaged on a branch you've just cut off, which peice is going to give? just my thoughts.
  3. i inspect my own kit and my lads, there's no problem in doing this as long as you can show its been done ''without fear of favor'' is the main thing. inspecting brand new gear that is loged is bollocks and a rip off.
  4. as i understand, if you use a machine, and that can include saws and chippers, your ok, but they are after the labour only side, so if you do a lot of forestry planting, then you will need one
  5. on a similar line, the local council have put new street lights out side a customers house...guess where.... in the canopy of a nice sycamore that will have to be sided up for the light to work. the tree is in a conservation area, could they object to the works been done, the old lights were no where near the tree?
  6. had mine 4 years, still on the origanl bridge, but changing out is no hassel. sells very well.
  7. yep and full rate at that
  8. or you could get it form me, 5 liter can rrp £11.05, but i can do a deal and free delivery if you want 50+ cans
  9. its about twice the price, but the health benifits are great, takes about 3 or 4 tank fulls to clean to old **** out of the saw, and most saws will need about a 1/4 turn on the low jet, as its got none of the fast burning slovents in. some of my old saws had to have carb kits when we switched as it does not swell the rubbers like pump fuel and they shrunk back and split. once you've cut a stump down low in a shrub/against a wall you'll not switch back.
