Never an easy time losing an old friend. RIP

Cougar on the bone. Not tried the Kernmaster with mine as it is pretty worn. I don't reckon it would grab.

I have cougar blue and orange. Both great ropes and very static. I also have a length of Kernmaster. It's a it bouncy but great with the RR.

The gap between the cab and the back of the truck has some form of protection between to protect on contact. My old truck used to contact as the back twisted as I drove. I had a 5 inch mark on easy side of the cab where the contact had basically 'wet and dried' back to bare metal. I had mine fixed and repaired under the warranty.

Looked a lovely day for it Jesse. Perfect for SRT jobs like that.

Well we did ask the farmer and in true farmer fashion he responded the JD was on tick over... David, it was definitely a good call. Yes the tree fell in the direction of the hedge row and onto a log pile but I think that was just a bit of luck. We were prepared to pruned up the sides of the other trees if on of the stems rolled into that. There was also included bark on the 2nd union up so we installed the pull line to pull the stems together. Who is to say where it would have gone if nature had taken its course. Even though it is on a farm, the track is well used by farm traffic, shooters, dogg walkers and horsey people. Sorry for the vertical video. [ame] [/ame]

A couple of pics of the crack and state of the stump. Rich

Turned up to deadwood a couple of beech trees today and noticed a vertical crack from some included bark on a mature Beech tree. Made a few call and decided to test the crack with a John Deere. The tractor won. [ame] [/ame] We then felled the remainder into the field behind with a little help from Mr J Deere. [ame] [/ame]

Roger that. Understood.

Can you explain further Carl? I am confused... In you e.g above, if it doesn't have a splice termination then it isn't a re splice.

I had to go to the hospital when I was in Norway last. I was cutting some frozen fish and the knife shattered without me noticing and I accidentally swallowed a piece of the broken blade after cooking the fish. I had endoscope, X-ray, radio active liquid to drink and consultation. I had my EHIC and still had to pay. Albeit a reduced rate but it wasnt free. Every department had a bloody chip and pin machine.

David, that will probably be the same reason why we spotted what looked like an Apache over South East London the other day. Tried to get a pic but it was a bit far away by the time I grabbed my phone.

I think I could get it to work just I can't be chuffed adjusting the bolt/bollard for different roles. As a comparison I find the sterling much harder and firmer than the Kernmanster, yet the Kern works perfectly in the RR. Where as the sterling doesn't work at all. This would be the opposite to your comment.

Still not working on iPhone Benn.

I tried some 11mm Sterling HTP today. I knew straight away it was a no no for the BDB. So I put my RR on there. All seemed fine till I loaded the system. It wouldn't even hold me still let alone stop me after a decent. Strange as it is the same diameter as the Kernmaster and that works really well on the Runner.

Why the need to lower prices? Find the right customers and then charge more. Overall you can then get more work done in a timely manner and ultimately make more over the year.

Use a longer rope and use multiple natural redirects. Might take a bit to pull it out but would work. It might sound strange but that is one of the main differences in the two techniques. You climb and work the tree differently with a single line.

I have use one of these. Or very similar from the same brand. Loud ringer, you can hear it over machinery. Rugged and lasts about a week if you don't use it too much. Sonim Technologies Inc. | Rugged Smartphones, LTE Smartphones, Critical Communication Solutions

There are times where I have winched trees with dead tops. Back leakers and limited sound wood higher up to anchor the pull line to. Setting the pull line low in sound wood and then having the back cut under the bottom of the face cut creates a lip so you don't pull the butt off the stump when winching. The faster the winch the better. I wouldn't recommend it on a hand pull or a tirfor. It definitely works in that scenario, it was an old school cutter who showed me that one. In nearly every other application it would be level or above the bottom of the face cut.
-
Nice one Steve, TBH, I dont see how SRT could aid a crane job. You gonna stick with the slow rope tech or stick with the double quick rope climbing?

I have a 5:1 system that was given to me by Dave the dog. It was for hoisting the main sailed on a yaught.

Most of the Kiwi climbers I have met seem to where Salewas and the like. -
Did you scream out for Morphine when you came round...? Did they make you poo and pee before they let you go home? I managed to do my bits and pieces and they let me go home. BUT I was off my tits later that evening. Couldn't even make up a flight of 2 stairs in my old flat.

I will be there again this year.

That is the most pointless tree bracing I have ever seen. More than likely to keep the power line up.
