a little top tip on the top off the stem on the back cut a little notch then tie pulling rope on at the back of the tree feeding it over the top of the stem this has 3 benifits 1 you gain all possible pull leverage 2 rope less likely to get damaged on stem impact 3 knot is usally accesible to undo rather than burried in ground p.s this is not a critisism just a tip top tip that works so simple if you understoud me

i would give george carrs a ring 01179669845 although i usuallybuy my saws locally i usually find a nice cheap source then ask local dealer how much and then tell him what i can get it for and he either meets or compromises but if you have any probs with your saws after buying mail order dont expect the same service as if you bought it from local dealer :laola:

this is a grey area but it would clarify to everyone if you asked your assessor as your replt said you thought it covered light prunning but prunning is cs40 now if you did 39 and 40 you definatly use saw for stubbs but everyone seems to go why is there cs39 hope you pass and find out your assessors interpretation of what it entitles you to do

after reading this years ago and speaking to treevolution i was informed that every tree surgeon they spoke to didnt use a saw one handed at which point i thought it must a english thing for all the work and money that went into this report it could have looked at how when and why VERY disapointed:laola::fu:
-
at least all mine work and dont all have exaust problems:asshole2::2up:

:laola::laola:everyday except sundays

which photos does this refere to and as for using a saw one handed i do not know a tree surgeon that does not use it one handed but i totally agree there is a time and a place which i do feel some people forget but as for twice in a year i can certaily add some 00000 to that

:party::party:i think i will get one so you can all take the p--- have asked them if i could have it in pink

i once did a big beech that had to hit the floor in a 4hr slot then a path cleared through the rest of the tree then took 6 men 2 days to clear so have been there but i did stop to help honest i have seen too many climbers dump tree down then bog off all i am saying is glad i dont have to work with them all the team i work with are all fully qualified climbers and we are all fully qualified groundies as well and am really starting to apriciate that :vroam::vroam:

:vroam:be very carefull putting a hiab on a 7.5 tonner or buying one we have a lot of problems and had to terminate lease the front axles are too easy to overload before we had the hiab moved further back i was just legal empty by my self with a passenger or my wallett front axle weight and when you load timber straight over now run a 17tonner just for that reason and at least now i can load it to the sky ontop of woodchip and still be legal

if you use a prussick on a ballancer you thread it through 3 times to gige you 6 turns then when you get it where you want it pull loop up and break prussick and it will never slip hope this makes sense

totaly disagree if a climber makes a mistake he can get hurt true but thats his fault most of a climber mistakes can lead to a groundie either getting hurt or working harder than he should have to The BEST climbers most important assett is his groundsman and TRUST is imperative give a good climber a team of crap groundies and he will look and perform crap yet good groundies can help a reasonable climber perform well and look good

:party: 40/41 does'nt make someone experienced or truly competent, it all comes down to good on the job training. To often i've seen in-experienced climbers go out on dismantles, they get into bad habits make mistakes and never learn as they do not have the guidance or experience to guide them or realise they are doing it wrong having 40 and 41 does not make anyone a good climber you are right a colleage of mine passed 10 years ago and is still crap and mates are good climbers and not qualified have just put 3 colleagues through 32 40 and 41 assessments only and they all had min 3 years experience only 1 year with us and breazed through apart from a few bad habits but they could work under supervision before passing as i think sending a man straight through all his tickets he would be a liability

:saint:WHEN i first started all we used was posh bailer band so all this new gear is super strong i dont think your problem is confidence in the gear more a general fear of climbing which only comes with time just remember all your climbing kit can safely hold a long wheel base landrover so unless your very very large it wont let you down its more likely that you let your kit down
-
just what i needed cheers
-
i have always wondered too i think it is aimed at folk that can then use a saw in a tree and develop towards 40 and 41 or is it for climbers to cut down trees that dont need a lowering rope
-
i used a 15cm sling on microsender and have just swapped to a swivel positioner which can be released under load so am thinking of not having a soft link although soft link not a prob other than needs loler checks every 3 months which is a pain in the but
-
the point of not stepping up because times kicking on is one of the lame excuses that WILL get you hurt p.s really i am not having a go but have seen too many people get hurt and i can name at least 10 people i have met that have nasty scars to prove it and have had to finish 2 trees because the climber cut themselves both had over 6 weeks off and one never climbed again not pleasent
-
totaly right you are only insured to do something you are qualified to im sure an insurance company would use that as a simple excuse not to pay out and if cs40 and 41 dont mater why do ANY at all

the best wy is get shut and buy a husqvarna job sorted
