I love things that take the hard work out of the job, and do things I can't, like lift a 3 ton lump of timber. I really don't think a MEWP would speed up my working day like my mog and crane do, and a MEWP cannot do any thing that my rope can't. Plus climbing is fun, humping logs ain't,IMO.

You become a very good shot with practice And with cut and chuck the pieces are much smaller than with rigging so if something does go wrong it is much less likely to do much damage. I think as for wear and tear on the body, its a balance between maintaining your strength and wearing yourself out, IMO, cut and chuck from up the tree is much less strain on your body than dragging brash and humping timber on the floor.

I will not make a comment on this specific tree as I did not see it in the flesh so to speak, and I am not going to disrespect a fellow members judgment call. In 14 years of climbing I have only come across one tree I did not feel happy to climb, that was a dead Wild Cherry which was in a very sheltered spot, I did that one from my rope anchored to my Hiab, and in fact once up it it would have been OK climbed. But I do very, very little rigging, I cut and chuck every thing, so do not shock load the tree. If it stood up to the last wind, my 13 stone will be fine,IMO. This is only my personal view and others must do what they feel happy with, I don't look down on people who want to use MEWP's and I don't like people who look down on me for doing trees that "others" feel are unsafe. We should feel free to make our own decisions as to the way we get the job done, we should not be worrying about the opinions of others, be that a comment of wimp or nutter,IMO :wave:

Having the reputation of being a bit of a nutter can be a very good thing sometimes :wave:

That is why some of us have not put up our names, and stick to our pseudonyms.

Where is the suffering childs free will? In your earlier post you said that god has a hand in your life, so he can act if he wishes, so he chooses not to help the child who has no knowledge of god and so could not ask for his help.....is this fair? or a loving way to act?

I think with a mog to get 1000 rpm at pto its 2400-2500 engine rev's.

I run my Schleisling at 2000 rpm on the revcounter which is less than 1000 rpm at the pto.
