  1. Look my chipper is in the backround i must have stole it lol. I just took this
  2. Well i cant be bothered to. The information is more important than who put it there. The idea is to make things simple an easy to read i did not bother to look who wrote what just to put the correct info for every one to read and get a decent answer.
  3. Think ill have a play around over the week end but some of them dont look retreivable. Pete rope saver is that the art contraption thing any good retreivable
  4. Ok little girly grow up. I mean common how old are you. :wave: Its not my fault you cant take a joke
  5. SIP equal Shite Improper Protection Stretch equal Seriously Tough Really Everything Tree surgeons Could Have. Ha ha No there all pants really when you think a 200t works at full tick 24ms and the class 1's 99% of us use only work up to 20ms so in that 4meters of chain can do you.
  6. busted my arse i was using it to proove what i was saying in words you understand if you thought i write all that bullshit then your a mug haha. I cut trees im no physicist ah hahahaha. Im sorry kids i thought you would have guessed that one straight away. Tony your a right fairy haha lol dont get moody im only playing imvho.
  7. I have a bad habbit of typing quicker than im thinking i new what i meant just putting it across the wrong way. Plus my network keeps phuckin up so im trying to fix that as well.
  8. 1 N = (1 kg)(1 m/s²) or 1 N = 1 kg.m/s² What is Weight? Weight is a measure of force. The measured force is gravity acting on a mass. It is expressed in Newtons (SI) or Pounds (English) Force = mass x acceleration Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity or W=mg Where: W is Weight, m is mass, and g is acceleration due to gravity Approximate values for gravity on earth are: g = 9.807 m/s² (SI units) g = 32.17 ft/s² (English units) The weight of an object is the gravitational force which is exerted on that object which causes it to accelerate downward at the acceleration due to gravity, or g. So, we can write for the weight of a 1 kg mass: W = mg W = (1 kg)(9.807 m/s²) W = 9.807 N The weight of a 1 kg mass is 9.807 Newtons (usually rounded off to 9.81) Much of our confusion with Kilonewtons is our common misunderstandings of mass and weight caused by carelessly interchanging the two systems of measurement. We commonly refer to how much we weigh in pounds or kilograms. For example, I weight 167 pounds or 75.9 kilograms. While we all understand what this means, we don't realize we are comparing a measurement of force (pounds) to a measurement of mass (kilograms). To be accurate in the IS system, we would state our weight in Newtons as 744 N (0.74 kN). I arrive at this by using the formula W=mg W = 75.9kg x 9.807m/s² Weight = 744 kg.m/s² or 744 Newtons While my mass would not change, my weight would be different on the moon (27.8 lbs.), Mars (63.293 lbs), or in the space shuttle (0 lbs.). The missing or assumed value in our statements is the attraction of the force of gravity on my body. (Just for the record, my mass in the English system would remain constant at 5.202 slug) What does the 25 kN rating on my carabiner mean? 1 kN (kiloNewton) = 1000 N 25kN stamped on a product would be equivalent to 25000 N I kN = 224 LB 25 kN = 5600 lbs of force There is no conversion. A kiloNewton is a thousand kilogram metres per second squared -- 1000 (kg * m) / (s^2). If what you mean is a kiloNewton to kg * cm / s^2, the conversion is 1kN = 100 000 kg * cm / s^2 I just got the calc wrong typing fast says it right there
  9. You can use your tractor to travel on the road with red but if you carry loads of any kinds you need white diesel if they catch you they will bend you over take your pocket money and slap you haha.
  10. Ill get some on here when i do some work haha. I just enjoy watching other peoples styles then take there good points an add them to my style. Ok reggie i will look at them give an inch they want a mile lol.
  11. Hey here is my ride if you like Its an rx7
  12. I love that eagle in your avatar so nice would love to have the time and patients to do it.
  13. Hey cheers nice vid i was thinking in the lines of blocking down but with lowering gear dont supose you have one of them. Any ways nice one:cheers:
  14. Here is where problems form you need to tell people whats good and bad not fuse the two. If some one wants it topped i either offer a reduction or pollard or remove the tree plant a new one. or tell them what topping means is a reduction of the canopy not giving it a flat top but hey let em get on with it the more people cock them up the easier it is for me to look good.
  15. Pete im sure 1kn equals 100kgs as this is what my ropes are rated against its a measure of force but the numbers relate to the weight of an object 1kn equals 100kgs of force
  16. Cheers pete ill post my current set up and expect some scrutiny for improovment. lol.
  17. Im sure that is deception imo. But i have never topped a tree in my life only furs i dont see how you can get away with topping a blind man can see it looks shite. I always reduce but i will do 30% reductions have had no ill affects so far even councils are happy they ask for 25% but were splitting hairs. I will do as the customers ask within what i believe is acceptable but as long as you know what your saying alot of people will accept what you say some will just use another company its a balance.
  18. So what have you found suits you and do you make it retrievable have you got a pic of your set up
  19. well 30kn is used to measure 3000kgs so ill stick with it if i ask for a 29.4kn rating rope ill be told to nob off. And stopping a moving object will increase its snatch weight amount of force depends on speed and weight and snatch ie no give more force some give in the system will reduce impact loading. 500kgs falling 20ft on 3 tonne rope will exceed the ropes limit and may break hence we use 8tonne rope for 500kgs eg. But the answer is a kilonewton is another measure for kgs 1kn equals 100kgs not exact im sure but 99%
  20. See that attitude would equal an unemployed surgeon to me even councils ask for big reductions and most of the tpo's i have done in the past want 25% so you dont do them either. But in all honsesty how can you really tell 20% from 30% do you use a ruler.
  21. Totally agree with what your saying you are saving more energy. Pete i use a cambium saver to protect the tree less friction was an after thought for me i just found that using the pulley increased my load at the friction hitch and my hand when tending It may be my hitch is not yet perfected to suit this difference in style But i only have myself to teach me everyone else uses old styles to climb which i hate. What pulleys are you using i have a petzl fixed pulley new england rope oh and i used a crab to secure the saver thus nonretreivable with a pulley any ideas.
  22. At the end of the day its business not ethics if they want it done do it earn from it alot of trees i have worked on did not need it the customer wanted it either i did it or another company would have.
  23. Yeah removing some friction is good but you still need a little to help hold yourself while you tend the slack. I found that a pulley increased my holding weight to an uncomfortable amount to much. I weight 80 odd kgs so i was having to hold all my weight which gets tiring. Just using the cambium saver was fine but maybe my hitch is to long takes forever finding out better systems
  24. Hey i like watching blocking down especially huge lumps. Where did you get the camera from its well good
