    love those old saws! great pics. that o15l was the first saw model i ever used, was 13 at he time and spent 4 weeks clearing fence lines with it

    anyone know where to get the chest rig for the treemotion? sick of flashing my hairy assed tree surgeon butt at clients when i am on spikes with a big saw

    nice wee job from this morning. local landscapers got me in to strip out this old syc pollard so they could fell it for firewood. had to rig all the back stuff over the barn as it was a plastic skylight right underneath. i left the stumps as i passed a sneaky comment to the owner saying how it was a shame to fully remove it and it could be left and managed as a pollard. started 10.30 finish 12, on the sofa for 3 after a bit of beer shopping:thumbup1: oh and of to an ancient tree hunt in the morning with the NT. good times:biggrin:

    had my 441 for over two years now i think and its been a great saw. i run a 18" and a 25" bar on it. i even use it for milling small stuff and it aint given me any bother yet. if you are doing lots of small felling work it can get a bit heavy

    cool will explain its not a cowboy job. he is very into tree preservation and was just wondering what the reason for them coming down was. thanks

    the girlfriends brother is just of the phone and says that an 8 mile stretch of trees along the A30 near Redruth have been stripped to poles!! any body know anything about it?

    the girlfriend drives our tipping landy as much as i do and it only cost me an extra 27 quid to put her on the policy this also covers her on my 90. she would put a lot of guys i know to shame in a 7.5 ton with a chipper too, she can reverse them no probs.

    i am 16.5 stone and use 3 wraps and 2 braids on tachyon with 10 mm cord. works well for me

    nice few days work in a small woodland, coppiced all this willow and still have a load of hazle to do when the clients get us back in a few weeks. rained the first day hence the shelter but was a cracking weather the next day. nice to leave the harness of for a few days and get in some felling work

    try this! ditch that silly petzl pully and get an isc or hitch climber. a 13mm rope with a clip will never run sweet on that set up.

    i hope you didnt think i was suggesting you were in it for the money old chap! i know from your posts you really want to make a difference and i think you have a good idea, good luck and keep up the good work

    i think its a great idea. i am sick of cross referencing between two or three books to end up throwing them at the wall and picking up a bottle of wine cause none of them are arb related. a good book that can be taken into the field would be a god send, as for the bigger reference book that can be your next best seller after you make your millions from a very grateful arb community

    we paid 380 all in. that was last year so might have gone up

    its a bit crazy you guys having to go abroad to get them when you can buy them of the shelf over here fom any stihl dealer considering we are part of the uk!!!!

    we got one last year! great wee saw for heavier reductions that a silky couldnt cope with, lighter than the200t but just lacks a bit of power.

    had 2 landy loads of snow destroyed palm and flax grass this week, no way i was even going to try and chip it. i just make a big pile at the yard leave it till the 11th of july light it and get the beers in
  20. gingertreeninja
    nice wee tractor. would love something like that for round my place. the goodwinch on my landy blew up in shower of sparks today trying to winch out a big flax grass that had been wrecked by the snow. might have been the big flood i went through on fri

    old boss had the la contract over here and was told all trees on grass areas had to be raised to 3.4 meters to allow ride on mowers to get unders them. some of these trees were only 5-6 meters high so you can imagine what they looked like after he finished. not a fan of crown lifting, leaves wounds on the lower stem of a top heavy tree which over time become potential failure points

    as far as i know the colour we see in autumn is visable because the chlorophyll in the leaves is no longer present
  23. gingertreeninja
    cheers pteteb never thought of large!
  24. gingertreeninja
    wish i could find somewhere over here that hires these! got a call today to thin out 4 hectares of woodland that one of my clients has round thier house. no room for big chipper or landy. how much are they new? cheers
  25. gingertreeninja
    i got them a while ago now. they prob are worth doing as you will get to learn some handy cuts and get to use winches to sort out hung up trees. i cant really remember what else we did but it was a good laugh and got to bin some massive larch
