Just checked. I got mine August 2013 of Alex on here. It was barely used but about 6 months old. Best 270 quid I have ever spent.

Who advanced the timing on your Rob? I have been meaning to drop it into Spud but been a bit busy. 10mm hole in the muffler, retuned and it's a cracker. Must be 2 years old now and still going strong.

Some pics of the pruning work in Frederickstad. An old town surrounded by a moat. I think it was 17 trees pruned and one fell. Deadwooding, lift and cut back from buildings. Rich

Had a knackered Pine to dismantle today. Ideally the boss wanted to get an 80t crane but the outriggers would have meant a road closure and diversion. Heavily decayed at base and about half way up with a full crown above. Close to property and live cables and utilities. The boss decided to dismantle it by hand, no rigging and cut and chucked the lot. We had had a heavy three days in Frederikstad pruning a lot of large mature Limes. 36 hours work in three days so the boss did this one to give us a break. Timber being picked up tomorrow. Rich

Only ha d a couple of climbs on it and it is pretty sweet John. Been out in Norway for over 3 weeks now on the truffle burger tachyon and it is pretty bouncy but works great.

The steel cable was placed about a third of the way up the tree. Quite a long time ago. The stems had started to absorb it and it was rusty as, so a consultant went in the and cut it for some reason, they then bored 60cm into the trunk and said it was knackered and to tell it. The home owner got a second opinion from the guy who used to own this company and he suggested the cobra system higher in the crown and a tidy up and some slight end weight reduction.

That birch was in Årnes, about an hour north west of Oslo. We were surprised to find out it was less than a 100 years old. Planted in 1919 when the boys was built.

This Mornings job. Deadwood a large silver birch tree, slight thin to tidy and cut back over roof of cabin to give a 2m clearance. We also installed a 4t cobra system to add support after and old steel cable brace was cut. Rich

Cheers mate. Glad you enjoyed it.

I love a good time-lapse. I enjoyed that one. Looked like a warm day, or was it just the blue sky?

No mate a grab lorry came and picked it up. What he does with it I have no idea as he doesn't speak English.

Cheers John. You keeping busy?

Good work you big Jesse.

I tend to short clip 90% of the time. I might lower the saw down on the strop to chuck a piece but then short clip it to a caritool before moving a significant distance. -
Just a quick question mate... A couple of my mates are IRATA L2 and L3. Unfortunately they don't do carb work. How would the day rates translate to Arb as they earn a lot more than an Arb climber? By more I mean some L3 guys are 3-5 hundred a day. Cheers.

Thanks mate, you can tell when the job is going well when Tomas, the Lithuanian on the Avant starts dicking about.

Give us a shout Jay. We did have a reeky climb about a month ago in Maidstone. Nice climb, a mess about then a pub meal. Nice vid Adam and good work on the reduction. It was quite long though. I must admit I skipped through it as the inter webs connection here is pretty gash sometimes!
