Its powder coat, I've got the paint code for it somewhere the only trouble is you cant touch up powder coat with powder coat. Ring up TW parts and ask for the code then you will have to get a touch up pen or aerosol made up so you can do touch up jobs. How much damage have you got?

I bought the gear for the redirect when i got the gear and also a couple of extra slings. Never come across a loopie tho have you got a pic of one?
-
What would you change or add to this set up Marc?
-
I haven't had any probs with it at all, had it a few years, but haven't used it much as a don't get many bit take downs, although ill be using it next week. You will also need to buy a small sling and smaller pulley for a craining point and some of the thin tape slings are handy for attaching multiput branches to be cut.

The thing is the boss didn't give a shih about any one just his self. He didn't care what trouble any one got in to as long as he didn't. I would have been the one to get the points and the fine.

What i forgot to mention was that one of the forman grew weed and sold it to most of the staff, not including me! although I did have a couple of puffs. Most of the guys smoked it all day long. I worked for them nine years ago and haven't herd since of any bad accidents but fortunately I think that's just luck for the people working for them. One day there will be an big accident for someone working for a company like this. I was told that if i didn't drive the 110 backfrom Cirencester to reading I would be f**king left there! so didnt have much of a choice and had only just passed my test. To make matters worse the 110 only had normal landy springs so the weight caused it to bob all over the place.

What a stink horn?

No not me, you wouldn't get your harness on would you! The only thing's i've ever carved if you can call it carving was the stools and planters at college.
-
I down loaded it off the Kevin Bloody Wilson web site, If any one is offended il take it off. Only came across it by chance and every one i have shown it to thinks its funny. Cant see the problem with it my self though!
-

Some one dropped a line in a phesent pen and elcctrophide the chicken wire an some one else felled a small tree on to the line and got a good belt. Also at the time another firm some ones arm went through the chipper. We had one saw each wether we were up a tree or felling on the ground 020t.

what is it with the bosses of utility companys, there all wan*ers. I worked for Mid-Surrey, What a firm no insurance, MOt on the landrover cherry pickers and made to drive them, he would pick us up in the morning pissed from the nght before, made us spike up trees and then rope in - to save time,and when i cut my leg with the chainsaw they filled in the risk assesment on the bonnet and instead of taking me to a hospital in oxfordshire drove me back to Guildford in the back of a 110 sitting on all the crap in there! A good two hour drive and just dropped me of at the hospital door and drove off. I had only been out of college a few months and was young so they put me under pressure to tell the doctor for his notes that I did it in my back garden. Not even a phone call that night to see how I was, turned up next day for work and got a bollokin for not brining my climbing kit.
-
Steel biners, Heavy duty pully, And a bag to put it all in, Dont forget you get the two slings with it as well.

Hi cordwood, I have taken some pic's but forgot to take a pic of the two lowering slings! There the thick blue type, one bigger than the other and rated at a couple of ton's I think. Whoopie sling, Split tail, Flying capstan, Nice pink! lowering rope,

When I was at Merrist Wood they had a Little David, I doubt they have dot it now or there not allowed to use it. Dangerous bit of kit.
-
If I get chance tomorrow i'll take a pic for you with it layed out on the ground. Did you get the price? Where abouts are you bassed?
-
It will take a couple of minites to put your spikes on telho, i think a rescue line is a good idear but remember to think things through and practice say once every 6 months when you have had your kit inspected. Main thing is the injured climber needs to be rescued quickley but without injuring your self as well in the process.
-
If you get more than 10 days out of it, it will stil be cheeper than hiring 1 for that time.

About 3 years ago I felled 2x huge Hollys and burnt the lot on site:cussing: i blody kick my self now. Whats the difference between using PVA and the liquid wax? Do you use neat PVA, please could you explain how you season types of wood?
-
Thats good because I planted a Himalayen Birch and took it off. I have come across a couple when grubbing out stumps in peoples garden and they were all rusty.
-
When planting root balled trees that are wraped in hessian and then the metal mesh, do you keep it on or take it off. Diffrent people i have spoken to do either.
