    cracks

    been doing a few reasonable sized trees recently and every one has looked fine but when the butt has been felled there is nastys beneath, the crack on the lime went all the way up the big wood, when i choged the first bit down it was clearly visable 40ft up!!!!! would that tree be easily safe enough to climb with no worries? i think it would but im looking for opinions.....
  3. stuart freeman? but they get all there stuff from landmark, honey brothers or buxtons.......
  4. nice!!! how good are they? easy to get out the tree???the dreaded cambium savers love to get stuck!!!
  5. they have 10 guys employed and use a hell of alot of subbies forthe crappy jobs!!!! im a subbie for them now thru another company (paul ford tree surgery - nr melton mowbray) lucky i know the boss very well and he dont treat me too badly so all is cool

  18. it has a pin but is spring loaded with quite a strong spring and the pin sits in quite far, ive never had a problem with it and a guy who i used to work with has had a similar set up for over10 years and never had a problem, i would agree that a fixed grab would be better.....
