    Bad Day

    Glad it got there ok and your sorted
  2. I don't want to fall out with you but i totally disagree,i use my old climbing lines to pull trucks out of fields they are 3 ton+ If they are in good order and loler checked they WILL NOT snap
  3. IMHO,the best climbers use there rope ALL the time,i worked with a guy years ago who only used his rope at the end to get down,he would just strop himself to the tree and smoke big lumps of,he was crap imo. I think if you can get a nice high anchor point the job becomes easy and fun
  4. Only one! you've been lucky
  5. If you mean the blue ones,I have 2 i picked up a while back,avaliable cheep if any one wants to make me an offer?
  6. This Elm has been dead for years and on my list of things to do around the house for about four years,anyway last night the wind beat me to it. Sorry the pic's are a bit crap. It had gone across the drive and was resting a Beech,it was also pulling two phone lines. I put the crane up and put a sling round to take as much weight as i could,then roped in to the Beech on the right and dismantled the crown. Took the radio control up with me,it has a load indicator on it so i could check if it was starting to go.I was on my own so the are no pic's of it coming down,the wife kept checking on me. Only took a few pic's,as part way though got a call from a customer who had a tree on there drive and were going on holiday,so i had to rush to get mine done and go and clear theres.
  7. Gloves arrived yesterday,many thanks to all concerned.
  8. On trees that are shaged allready!
  9. You've been watching those reruns of the Rambo moves,have'nt you.
  10. I would,but i do very little rigging and would have cut and chucked everything,so no shock loading.
  11. Outrageous! you felled it! Surely a light reduction and a Cobra brace would have been the way to go:awink:
  12. Well done! Hope all goes really well :wave:
  13. No,no,no,please there are to many laws and legislation as it is,why not just contact your LPA every time you see a nice tree and ask them to put on a TPO.That way only decent trees would be covered. If they did as you say we would spend all our time doing paper work and felling tree that are just under the size that gets protected. No one would plant trees in there garden incase when they came to sell and the buyer did'nt what them. The pickeys would love it as they don't bother about TPOs any way.

    Coronet

    Hi,it was day rate work for a local council and only added around 45 min to the job
  15. I got done on the M6,the rear axel of my mog was just shy of 2 ton over,my co got £350 fine,i as the driver got a total discharge,you don't get points for being over weight,unless your licence does not cover the weight your carrying,i think.
